Ban the gas chamber in Georgia animal shelters |
 Grace's Law, H.B. 788 would ban the gas chamber in Georgia animal shelters
The current legislative session brings another opportunity to pass Grace’s Law, also known as House Bill 788. Grace’s Law is named after a hound who survived gassing in the now-defunct Liberty county gas chamber. The Georgia Voters for Animal Welfare (GVAW) estimates that at least 11 gas chambers still operate in Georgia, some illegally.
