The Issue

Please sign this petition as Haverford Township has purchased a gas chamber to kill all of it's trapped, "pesky" wildlife!  

Uninformed and non-empathetic residents, who find living in harmony with nature and woodland creatures unacceptable, call the township when they see wildlife on their property and report the "pesky" animals, who are then baited and trapped.  These animals used to be relocated, but now the plan is to kill them in the newly purchased gas chamber!

Either way the babies of these trapped animals starve back at the nest and/or den.  

Haverford Township would do better to offer a class in educating their residents about wildlife and how to live with the native wildlife who were ALWAYS here---we are the invaders!

The gas chamber is an horrific way to die and was originally created for the worst human serial killers -- since having been banned in most states due to the cruelty aspect of the death.

Gas chambers should not be the destiny of little animals innocently foraging for food to feed themselves and their offspring -- this will certainly give Haverford Township a black eye in the view of humane people.
