The state I live in now is one of the 10 or so that still allows it. The shelter in our town was euthanizing some dogs when we went to adopt our dog. Even in a commercially made, vet approved chamber it took about 5 minutes for the screaming to stop. That's a chamber made for this. Not all of the shelters who still do gas chamber euthanasia use commercially made chambers. There was one we saw that in a smaller town....they had what looked like a big cooler. There were no air locks, and no seal to ensure the chamber was air tight. In that situation it took 24 minutes for the dogs to stop screaming. I timed it. We decided not to adopt there, because we didn't want to support them.
