>1. Owner surrendered animals only get 2 days for
>possible adoption
>before
>being killed. The front desk rarely, if ever, informs
>the surrendering
>owner of this policy. Although, it is stated on the
>surrender form, it

>Many owners would

>2. At this time all dogs picked up in Pulaski county
>go straight to the
>euthanasia room when they arrive at LRAS. So if you
>live in the
>county,
>your dog gets out of the yard and is picked up it will
>probably be dead
>by
>the time you realize it has escaped.
>3. Most young animals that would have a good chance of
>being adopted
>become
>sick because of the unsanitary conditions while in
>LRAS and must be put
>down
>or worse, left to suffer until they die.
>4. No sedation is given to any animal before being
>killed. Most other
>animal services in central Arkansas do sedate to
>prevent the terror the
>animals at LRAS go through.
>5. When a mother dog with her young pups are killed,
>they are all taken
>into the euthanasia room together. The pups are
>usually killed first;
>the mother dog watches frantically as her pups scream
>in terror and
>pain.
> The little pups are injected with needles too large
>for their small
>bodies. They are then put on the concrete floor out
>of reach of the
>mother where many
>struggle until they finally die. This inhumane and
>unnecessary
>procedure
>causes undue stress to the mother dog who is then less
>likely to
>surrender
>quietly without a struggle. Her death has been made
>worse than it had
>to
>be. No civilized society goes out of its way to make
>necessary
>euthanasia more painful than it has to be. Witnesses
>verified.
>6. Several dogs at a time are brought into the
>euthanasia room and
>tethered, the ones left until last must watch as the
>others are killed.
>A majority of these dogs go in with tails wagging,
>thrilled about
>having
>any human contact, then as one dog after another is
>killed in front of
>them they become more and more panicked and terrified.
>Witnesses
>verified.
>7. LRAS currently uses 2 different methods to inject
>lethal serum into
>feral
>(wild) cats. Most feral cats are left in their
>kennels and are stabbed
>through the bars with a syringe on a stick. These
>cats react with
>panic
>at
>being jabbed, and fling themselves wildly around the
>kennel in hopes of
>escape from their tormentors. This causes many of them
>to be injected
>in
>areas of the body that causes great pain, and many
>times slow painful
>deaths. The injection could land anywhere on their
>body, but rarely
>does
>it
>land in the liver where injection is recommended.
>Because the cats
>react
>so violently, sometimes these cats have to be stabbed
>more than once to
>receive enough serum to end their life. This could be
>prevented with
>something as simple as putting a sedative in a can of

>neck and shoulders to the floor. While the snare is
