WILL DIE IN THE GAS CHAMBER IN SMITHFIELD, NC
Hello. My name is "Lost Soul" and I'm a stray mutt mix who was found
by an animal control officer when I was trying to find food in
somebody's garbage can. I'm starving, skinny and scared. I'm 3 years
old, and my whole life was spent chained to a tree. My owner moved
and just let me run free. I'm not that beautiful. I'm a black lab
mix like most of the other "prisoners" at the shelter. Most people
will pass me by because of my emaciated body and skin problems. I
know it's time for me to go to heaven and I accept this. I just wish
I could die a peaceful death with a shot. But no, I will die in the
GAS CHAMBER in Johnston County, NC. I will be put in a box with many
other dogs and locked in. I will be scared and start to cry. I hope
none of the other dogs get mad and start to attack me which is very
common in this situation. I will start to breathe in the gas and I
will feel my eyes and mouth burn and I will start howling. I will
take my little nose and put it to the bottom of the grate to try to
catch some fresh air. This isn't working, Oh God, Please Help, I
can't breathe! I'm vomiting, dizzy and starting to black out and
convulse. I hear the other "lost souls" scream and some blood is
splattered on me because I'm pawing to get out.. and I cut the pads
on my paws off. Oh My God this hurts and I'm so scared! I'm
wondering why I have to die this way?? All I ever wanted was a
family to love and warm lap to sit on!! Why do convicted murderers
on death row get a shot, but I have to die in a GAS CHAMBER? I wish
I could die with a shot, with a vet holding me and rubbing my ear
telling me everything will be okay. I would die with some dignity
and not defecate or urinate on myself. I better give in to the gas
and go to heaven now, for if I don't die, they will put me in the
gas chamber and do it again. I can't wait to get to heaven and have
all the angels rub my belly and give me kisses. In the meantime,
please call Rick Hester the County Manager in Johnston County at 919-
989-5100 and beg him not to let any other innocent strays die this
way. Rick.Hester@...(email addresses below,please email all 4)is his Email
address if you want to
write him You can also call or email the county commissioners if you
want. If you don't want to call them, please call the news or
newspapers and tell them that you don't want your tax money used for
the GAS CHAMBER. Thank you for hearing my story and the next time
you see a stray in Johnston County, please say a prayer for them,
for if they don't get adopted, they will die in the GAS CHAMBER like
me. Please rescue a dog or cat before they are gassed. Johnston
