A couple of weeks ago I did a story on a gas chamber explosion in a NC animal shelter. In the story I talked about Dr. Ralph Houser, DVM, manufacturer of gas chambers and proponent or this cruel and inhumane method and we can now add to that, trainer dog and animal killer!

One of the biggest proponents for gas chamber use in NC is a veterinarian himself, Dr. Ralph Houser, DVM. Houser is also a manufacturer of the chambers from hell and a member of the state’s Board of the North Carolina Animal Rabies Control Association. Although the AMVA advocates lethal injection as the most humane method of euthanasia, it’s no surprise that Houser is against it. He doesn’t want anyone taking money out of pocket! It is believed by many that he is single handedly responsible for the reluctance of the state’s Board of Agriculture to ban use of this cruel, medieval device.

Well it looks like he also does workshops on the use of the gas chamber and rakes in the bucks that way too! What a sick POS!!

I got this info via email today and I am posting it is its entirety. Please take the time to read then help to get the word out and take action!!

Announcing a euthanasia workshop in Gaston County conducted by R. Houser

This is a profit generating venture for Ralph Houser. He conducts them regularly in Craven County and Gaston County. The checks are to be payable to Houser. Attendees come from many different areas. Houser is allowed to use the Gaston County Animal Control facility and Gaston College - He pays nothing for their use. Houser and his attendees kill Gaston County animals.

There is a very likely possibility that the mandatory holding period is violated for some of the “victims.” For example have all the “victims” been held for 72 hours? Have some been held back from adoption so they have a sufficient number of “victims” for the attendees to kill over 3 days. How many animals are killed during his “euthanasia seminar?” That needs to be determined. Also, Does Houser pay the county for the animals he kills ????

If they were not killed en masse, some of them could be adopted. Who makes the decision which ones are killed and how many he is allowed to kill?? The taxpayers of Gaston County are paying for the expenses of Ralph Houser’s business and furnishing him with animals to kill — some of which are or were peoples pets.

Ralph Houser got into the “killing” business as a result of an accident that ended his practice of veterinary medicine. That accident set in motion animal cruelty and abuse on a statewide basis. It has led to the suffering and death of hundreds of thousands of animals at the hands of Houser trained workers in Houser designed gas chambers. He is the architect of the “final solution” for animals in NC.

I think by now we all know how important is it to spay and neuter our pets. We know that millions and millions of dogs and cats are killed every year and one of the reasons is because of unchecked breeding.
