A letter from an Animal Control Officer Apr 4, 2008 9:32 AM
This is deserving of your time…and of those you know. “Think occasionally of
the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.” Yes, I Gas Dogs and Cats
for a Living. I’m an Animal Control officer in a very small town in central
North Carolina . I’m in my mid thirties, and have been working for the town in
different positions since high school. There is not much work here, and working
for the county provides good pay and benefits for a person like me without a
higher education. I’m the person you all write about how horrible I am. I’m the
one that gasses the dogs and cats and makes them suffer. I’m the one that pulls
their dead corpses out smelling of Carbon Monoxide and throws them into green
plastic bags. But I’m also the one that hates my job and hates what I have to
do. First off, all you people out there that judge me, don’t. God is judging
me, and I know I’m going to Hell. Yes, I’m going to hell. I wont lie, it’s
despicable, cold, cruel and I feel like a serial killer. I’m not all to blame,
if the law would mandate spay and neuter, lots of these dogs and cats wouldn’t
be here for me to gas. I’m the devil, I know it, but I want you people to see
that there is another side to me the devil Gas Chamber man. The shelter usually
gasses on Friday morning. Friday’s are the day that most people look forward
to, this is the day that I hate, and wish that time will stand still on
Thursday night. Thursday night, late, after nobody’s around, my friend and I go
through a fast food line, and buy 50 dollars worth of cheeseburgers and fries,
and chicken. I’m not allowed to feed the dogs on Thursday, for I’m told that
they will make a mess in the gas chamber, and why waste the food. So, Thursday
night, with the lights still closed, I go into the saddest room that anyone can
every imagine, and let all the doomed dogs out out their cages. I have never
been bit, and in all my years doing this, the dogs have never fought over the
food. My buddy and I, open each wrapper of cheeseburger and chicken sandwich,
and feed them to the skinny, starving dogs. They swallow the food so fast, that
I don’t believe they even taste it. There tails are wagging, and some don’t
even go for the food, they roll on their backs wanting a scratch on their
bellys. They start running, jumping and kissing me and my buddy. They go back
to their food, and come back to us. All their eyes are on us with such trust
and hope, and their tails wag so fast, that I have come out with black and
blues on my thighs.. They devour the food, then it’s time for them to devour
some love and peace. My buddy and I sit down on the dirty, pee stained concrete
floor, and we let the dogs jump on us. They lick us, they put their butts in
the air to play, and they play with each other. Some lick each other, but most
are glued on me and my buddy. I look into the eyes of each dog. I give each dog
a name. They will not die without a name. I give each dog 5 minutes of
unconditional love and touch. I talk to them, and tell them that I’m so sorry
that tomorrow they will die a gruesome, long, torturous death at the hands of
me in the gas chamber. Some tilt their heads to try to understand. I tell them,
that they will be in a better place, and I beg them not to hate me. I tell them
that I know I’m going to hell, but they will all be playing with all the dogs
and cats in heaven. After about 30 minutes, I take each dog individually, into
their feces filled concrete jail cell, and pet them and scratch them under
their chins. Some give me their paw, and I just want to die. I just want to
die. I close the jail cell on each dog, and ask them to forgive me. As my buddy
and I are walking out, we watch as every dog is smiling at us and them don’t
even move their heads. They will sleep, with a full belly, and a false sense of
security. As we walk out of the doomed dog room, my buddy and I go to the cat
room. We take our box, and put the very friendly kittens and pregnant cats in
our box. The shelter doesn’t keep tabs on the cats, like they do the dogs. As I
hand pick which cats are going to make it out, I feel like I’m playing God,
deciding whose going to live and die. We take the cats into my truck, and put
them on blankets in the back. Usually, as soon as we start to drive away, there
are purring cats sitting on our necks or rubbing against us. My buddy and I
take our one way two hour trip to a county that is very wealthy and they use
injection to kill animals. We go to exclusive neighborhoods, and let one or two
cats out at a time. They don’t want to run, they want to stay with us. We shoo
them away, which makes me feel sad. I tell them that these rich people will
adopt them, and if worse comes to worse and they do get put down, they will be
put down with a painless needle being cradled by a loving veterinarian.

Dear Bill,
I am in a well here and hoping you are in the same well there. I’m writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast.
We don’t live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles.
I wont be able to send the address as the last guy who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to bring our earlier address plate here, so that our address will remain same too.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the commode. I’m not sure it works. Last week I put in 3 shirts,pulled the chain and haven’t seen them since.
The weather here isn’t too bad.It rained only twice last week.The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.
The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons,so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.
Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery.
By the way I took Bahu (your wife) to our club’s poolside. The manager is really badmash.He told her that two-piece swimming suit is not allowed in this club. We were confused as to which piece should we remove?
Your sister had a baby this morning.I haven’t found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don’t know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.
Your uncle, Jetinder fell in a nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.
Your best friend, Nick,is no more. He died trying to fulfill his father’s last wishes. His father had wished to be buried at sea after he died. And your friend died while in the process of digging a grave for his father.
There isn’t much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.
P.S:I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter ….ISNT THIS FUNNY?
Undergoing surgery can be stressful enough. However, the aftermath can become even more disturbing, if various bacteria, such as MRSA, infect you. MRSA is the most common type of infectious bacteria in hospitals. Furthermore, they become particularly dangerous after surgical procedures.
Fortunately, physicians and surgeons can take measures to help prevent the spread of MRSA during and after surgery. These steps include keeping the operating area spotless; sanitizing operating tools; and wearing scrubs, such as cheap urbane scrubs. Scientific studies have proven that scrubs are ideal medical attire for preventing the spread of various bacteria, such as MRSA. As a patient, here are steps that you can take as well:
1. Start with a quality hospital and surgeon
One of the best ways to battle the MRSA superbug is to select an accredited hospital and a certified surgeon. The law requires hospitals and surgeons to follow certain rules and regulations, which can help to avert bacterial infections in hospitals. If a certified surgeon operates on you in n accredited hospital, you are more likely to remain MRSA-free.
2. Cautiously select a surgeon
If you intend to have surgery, select one very carefully. Ask about the surgeon’s rate of infection, for the particular procedure that you will undergo. However, also realize that you should consider a particular physician’s rate of infection, with a grain of salt.
In addition to a doctor’s rate of infection itself, various factors can influence this figure. For example, certain procedures such as gastric bypass procedures tend to have greater bacterial infection rates. Also, patients with certain conditions, such as obesity and diabetes, are more likely to become infected with bacteria.
3. Remind surgical personnel and visitors to wash their hands
Even if the surgical staff uses gloves during your surgical procedure, it is important that they also scrub their hands with soap and water, or use a hand sanitizer that is alcohol-based. Any visitors during and after the procedure, should follow the same steps. It may seem awkward to ask your highly-educated and highly-skilled physician, “Did you wash your hands?” However, remember that bacterial infections can result in complications (and even death), after the surgery. If it is necessary, ask them-and ask them nicely.
4. Have coughing people act appropriately
If any of the surgical team members or visitors are coughing, have them wear a mask, or have them remain at least six feet away from you. An uncovered sneeze can travel up to a mile! Thus, prevent viruses from spreading, by taking necessary precautions. Having surgery can be stressful enough. Avoid any complications that an uncovered cough, could cause. During any surgical procedure, even a single cough can cause major complications.
When undergoing an operation, you want to avoid any unwanted difficulties. Fortunately, surgical staffs use various means, such as wearing hygienic scrubs, to prevent bacterial infections. However, you can also take certain steps, such as having surgeons and visitors wash their hands and wear masks. Your surgery should never be more stressful than it has to be!
I already have a science fair idea but it’s too elementary….how can I change it so it’s high school appropiate?
My experiment is: The effect of substances (sugar, vegetable oil, vinegar, salt, and glycerin) on how long soap bubbles last…
and my hypothesis is “If I add sugar to soap, then I will get longer-lasting bubbles because sugar slows down the evaportation of water that causes the bubbles to dry out and pop”
how can I edit it to make it appropiate for my grade level (im in 9th grade)
Every time I shave or cut my ****** hair, I left a mess of skin discoloration, bumps, and rashes behind. I thought I have tried everything to get rid of them, but nothing’s working!
Can you give me some ideas?
I have acne on my forehead and a lil on my cheeks. Its not to the point where its very noticeable but i’d like to get rid of it fast. What are some fast cheap ways to get rid of acne?
It’s a weird scam that tells you that you have viruses when you don’t. It’s really annoying and can be really damaging and it tries to scam you out of money. It’s really hard to get rid of. I have found free downloads for detection, but then, you have to pay money to get rid of the viruses. Does anyone know of a completely free program that I can use to get rid of any trace of the Antivirus 360 program? Please help! Thank you.
ok here’s the thing crazy as it sounds I met a man online. He is from another state & I know his name but nothing is listed about him. We chatted for a long time and we even wrote letters and talked on the phone. I do not want to be a stalker but I really care for this guy last I heard he had moved due to his job and we lost touch….. any ideas that are not going to cost me an arm & leg to find this guy…. or should I just give up…. Im not desperate trust me I have had plenty of dates but something about this guy is just in my head & nobody compares to him….. HELP…lol…
Just to clarify I am not in love with this guy I just felt like we could have had something I would like to know I gave it my best shot… I cant stop thinking about him
Never underestimate the power of being small. Many a small thing had been able to put to shame big, formidable challenges quite unexpectedly. Think David and Goliath. In the same way, a group of tiny invaders known as germs can make even the healthiest person become sick when caught unguarded.
We live in an environment full of germs. No matter how frequent you wash your hands or how many times you bathe, you cannot totally get rid of them. They are a multitude of tiny organisms that cause illness. These microscopic body invaders include bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other infectious organisms which could be present in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, or in the water that you use for washing the dishes and taking a bath. They are everywhere, practically in every surface that you can think of.
The following is a list of top ten places where germs may be found waiting for a host to infect:
Public Bathrooms. No matter how sparklingly clean it may appear, virtually any surface in a public restroom carries germs which may include intestinal bacteria, such as E.coli and Enterococcus, both of which cause diarrhea. Sitting on the toilet is not the main source of infection, but from touching the seat, stall door or sink. Germs gain entry into your system when you accidentally touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with an infected hand.
Home Kitchens and Restaurants. When kitchen employees do not practice good hygiene like hand washing especially after using the bathroom, they can easily taint food with fecal matter and, in the process, contaminate the food with infectious bacteria or viruses. Another possible source of infection is when we eat raw food which, at times, could also be tainted with a wide range of bacteria. Even ordering well-done food is not a guarantee against bacterial infections especially when a kitchen worker or waiter handles raw food and then touches your dinner plate.
Workplace. According to a study by University of Arizona microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerba, surfaces used by teachers, accountants, and bankers have the most germs. Phones, desks, and computer keyboards are considered germ magnets.
Airplanes. Having so many people in close quarters for hours at a time is a breeding ground for germs. Upper respiratory infections are common in such cramped quarters because viruses and intestinal bacteria can spread easily during a flight. When someone has a bad cough, the surfaces throughout the cabin and particularly in the lavatory can harbor germs.
Hotels and Motels. Whether there’s truth to the rumor that the bedspreads in hotels are never washed, these are not likely to spread germs. The bigger risk is found in the bathrooms that have not been properly cleaned, contaminated surfaces such as doorknobs or phones. While bed bugs living in the mattress or headboard may not carry the disease, their bites could cause allergic reactions.
Swimming Pool. Water-borne illnesses over the past decade have increased. A pool is easily contaminated when someone with diarrhea goes swimming. Chlorine doesn’t always kill the germs immediately. Cryptosporidium can survive for days even in a properly disinfected pool.
Movie Theaters. This is another close quarter venue that draws many people for a couple of hours. Since viral infections can be contagious a day before symptoms appear, people infected with cold or flu virus may go to the movies without knowing they are sick.
Day Care Centers. Children are prone to getting fecal matter on their hands. Infection occurs when another child plays with a toy that was previously touched by another child’s contaminated hand. This is called fecal-oral transmission, a common source of diarrheal illness in children. Since young kids love to put things in their mouth, shared toys can also become contaminated with saliva.
School. Whenever there are children, hygiene becomes questionable. While school-aged children may have grown out of their thumb or toy-sucking habits, they may be less than concerned about washing their hands when they should.
Doctor’s Office and Hospitals. Since you are sharing a small space with many people who may have infectious illnesses inside a clinic, the waiting room chairs, doorknobs, toys, and even your doctor’s clothing can become contaminated. Those most at risk for picking up germs at the doctor’s office are patients who have some type of medical procedure. Hospitals have a high concentration of germs and vulnerable people in the same place. There is also increased risk of exposure to bacteria that are resistant to treatment with antibiotics.
