We continue to work to lessen the number of stray dogs and cats with nonsurgical, easy-to-use, effective, inexpensive contraception products. Please, also tell your friends about this work. Thank you.
Options for nonsurgical contraception products are the very best solution to prevent unnecessary suffering and painful demise for the ~900 million stray dogs and cats worldwide. For example, three out of four kittens born in New York will never reach 6 months of age.
3 our of 4 kittens born in New York will die before 6 months
We do not want any animal to ever be euthanized in the future. When this unfortunately happens, in memory of Muffin, an Airedale/Afghan, we demand to decrease the pain of her many stray friends who may die in shelters.

APPEARANCES:
John A. Bell, Bexley, Ohio, for Plaintiff-Relator.
Randall Lambert, Ironton, Ohio, for Defendants-Respondents.

HOOVER, Administrative Judge,
The Plaintiff-Relator Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals filed a
petition for writ of mandamus seeking to compel the Defendants-Respondents Hocking County Commissioners and the Hocking County Dog Warden to carry out their legal duty to use humane devices and methods for the destruction of dogs and to enjoin them from euthanasia by the method of carbon monoxide inhalant in a “homemade” gas chamber. The relator claims that the current industry standards established by the American Veterinary Medical Association do not accept carbon monoxide inhalants as a humane method of euthanasia of dogs except in very limited circumstances. Relator further seeks to compel the respondents to use “Euthanasia By Injection,” or “EBI” in theHocking App. No. 13CA2 2 operation of the Hocking County Dog Pound as the approved method for humane euthanasia. .…
Conclusion
We find that the respondents’ carbon monoxide method of euthanasia as the
standard method of destruction of dogs does not immediately and painlessly render the dog initially unconscious and subsequently dead and is not humane. Therefore, we GRANT relator’s motion for summary judgment and issue a writ of mandamus
compelling the respondent Dog Warden of Hocking County to euthanize dogs by
injection as the routine means of destruction in accordance with R.C. 955.16(F). We
further issue a writ of mandamus compelling the respondent Board of County
Commissioners of Hocking County to provide euthanasia by injection as the humane
device and method for destroying dogs in accordance with their obligations under R.C. 955.15.
The clerk shall serve a copy of this order on all counsel of record and any
unrepresented parties at their last known addresses by ordinary mail.Hocking App. No. 13CA2 22 MOTION GRANTED. WRIT ISSUED. IT IS SO ORDERED. COSTS TO
RESPONDENTS.
