I could write a long comment on why humans and animals are not the same, but then I would rather write about the fact that Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico has signed into law a bill to prevent animal cruelty that outlaws the euthanasia technique of gassing animals to death.
The article in the Albuquerque newspaper stated:
It passed the legislature and the governor signed the bill into law on Monday. The law prohibits euthanasia of dogs and cats by gas chambers.
The bill closes a loophole in existing legislation, and would eliminate the use of gas chambers in all cities and municipalities.

I wonder why it is considered humane by the Final Exit Network to use helium and a plastic hood while it is inhumane to use gas to euthanise dogs and cats.
