Solving Dog Chewing problems

* First of all "prevention is better than the cure" having a dog requires responsibility, don't leave valuable items laying around so that your dog can get to them, unless your dog has proper obedience training.

* Chewing is natural for dogs, so provide your dogs with tasty chew toys, condition your dog to understand that if he needs to chew, that is what he chews on. Fill his chew toy with his favorite treats and reward him for chewing on it.

* Take your dog out to play, go on a walk, jog, dog park or a dog beach, give him lots of exercise, play games with him fetch, catch obedience training so that he doesn't have so much energy bottled up inside.

* Until your dog is properly obedience trained, keep him in a confined area, a kennel, dog crate, or you can just section off a corner of your house or yard.

How long does it take for a dog to die in a gas chamber?

I am writing a persuasive essay about euthanasia for school. I am writing about the use of gas chambers and how we should work harder to ban them. Does anybody know how long it takes an averaged size dog to die from it? And does anybody have a story of working for a vet in a gas chamber? I do not judge people this is simply for facts for the paper... I will not include your story in my paper unless you want me to.

Even though it's more inexpensive than humane euthanasia (lethal injection), it's not a form of euthanasia. It's a form of death which causes extreme pain and suffering and can take up to 45 minutes for an animal to die. These dogs and cats have mostly come from abusive backgrounds or have had terrible lives. They are scared at the shelter/pound. Many are injured, old, abused, most are scared. Dying in such a way is just not acceptable in a society where we condemn such things. We don't even allow murderers and rapists to die under such circumstances any more because gassing is deemed inhumane. Millions and millions of taxpayers money is spent on operating shelters/pounds. There is never any surplus money - many rely on donations and help from the public. There isn't enough money to even humanely end an animal's life - instead it has to spend it's final moments in a metal box suffering intense pain and suffering. But while taxpayer's money is being spent on a problem of pet-overpopulation, the puppy mills and backyard breeders are allowed to continue operating and contributing to the problem. These people are not only money-greedy, many dogs in their so called "care" are in a much worse state that many of the homeless animals. They suffer extreme neglect. The problem of gassing animals also extends to the suffering of humans. Someone has to gas these animals. Most animal shelter workers see these animals daily, work tirelessly to find them new homes, give them care and attention and then finally have to let them down and kill them - by gassing them. This is extremely distressing for them. This would affect them for the rest of their lives. This could potentially cost a lot to treat all sorts of illnesses such as depression, attempted suicide. Gassing needs to be a priority and needs to stop.
