Daniel's reprieve


Image from the Associated Press


Slated for euthanasia in a shelter in Alabama, somehow this dog survived!

This also brings up a few points on whether or not gas chambers are an ethical form of euthanasia. Carbon monoxide is commonly used in rodent euthanasia however guidelines for laboratories require a second method also be used once the animal is asleep, commonly cervical dislocation is used. However it seems with shelters they rely only on the gas. 

This story does bring up some interesting things to think about as well as a heartwarming reprieve for the poor little fellow involved.
