Grace’s Law, H.B. 788 passed the Georgia House of Representatives this week by an overwhelming majority. Legislators say they received a huge amount of calls from Georgians in support of this bill.

The bill bans the gas chamber as a way of killing shelter pets. Most of Georgia shelters have switched to lethal injection to euthanize unwanted dogs and cats, but 11 places still use gas.

Representative Tom Knox spoke in favor of the bill. He talked about how animals suffer for 30 minutes or more before they die, and how frightened animals attack each other in the chamber as they are gassed.

To become law the bill now has to be passed by the Georgia Senate. Now is the time for all Georgians to call their State Senator’s and ask them to make “Grace’s Law” a reality. Click here for a list of Georgia State Senators.

Grace’s Law is named after a dog named Grace that survived the gas chamber. Check out the video below to meet her.
