Known Gas Chambers in Georgia

The following list was compiled by the Georgia Voters for Animal Welfare. There are 11 gas chambers known to be used in taxpayer-funded shelters in the state of Georgia. Due to the difficulties in compiling a complete data set, there may be some not on this list. If you know of any, please send an email or post a comment below. The gas chamber is a cruel and outmoded means of killing shelter pets. Grace's Law would close the loopholes which allow these shelters to continue to use these shameful devices.


1. Ashburn, City of (In Turner County; no county facility; chamber housed in city.)
2. Butts County Animal Control
3. Cobb County Animal Control
4. Cordele, City of (Crisp County)

If you live in one of these municipalities, let your representatives and city and county officials know that this is unacceptable.
