Dr. Ralph Houser, DVM, North Carolina Animal Rabies Control Association board member and owner of Carolina Veterinary Consulting, he manufactures and sells these gas chambers all throughout county-funded animal shelters in North Carolina. Well, no wonder they havent made headway getting this atrocity abolished, it seems this man is lining his pocket with government money. Dr. Houser also offers seminars and classes to show county animal facility personnel how to use these devices and methods. He brings demonstration and testing subjects to each seminar and class. He gasses and heartsticks 6 victims at a minimum for demonstration purposes. Homeless dogs and cats are brought from local shelters of his choice and then his methods are demonstrated in a live setting. Dr. Housers methods and beliefs are totally inhumane. He has been known to let “students” do IV injections on all 4 legs of dogs until the veins “blowout.” He kills those animals with a “heart injection” not an IV injection. During a “euthanasia seminar” he watched dogs that were forced to remain in a gas chamber for over an hour, in the summer heat. The carbon monoxide ran out and employees had to go buy another carbon monoxide cylinder. He stated that he did not provide an operating manual, that he did not provide operational instructions to the personnel when it is installed, and that he did not furnish any maintenance, repair, inspection, or operational services for his gas chambers after the sale. He said “it is not my responsibility to come see if that gas chamber is leaking,” once they own it they have to inspect and maintain it.” Of course no county has the trained personnel or the instruments needed to carry out those ongoing tasks. The counties/cities are unwittingly placing their workers in danger of heart disease, cancer, sterilization, and all of the other health risks that come from long term low level exposure to carbon monoxide gas — no to mention the possibility of getting a worker killed along with the animals.
