  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the 
                practice of gassing stray cats and dogs.

Whereas approximately 4 million animals are euthanized in the United States each 
        year;
Whereas approximately 3 percent of all cats and dogs in the United States are 
        gassed each year;
Whereas States permit local officials to gas stray cats and dogs;
Whereas many cats and dogs run away from their owners each year; and
Whereas many stray cats and dogs with owners are among those gassed each year: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses its 
dissatisfaction that the practice of gassing stray cats and dogs with 
owners continues in the United States in the 21st century.
                                 <all>
