Wyoming House Bill 96 would prohibit the use of any methods of euthanasia by animal control facilities for “household pets” other than by injection of sodium pentobarbital or a derivative. The bill would also require animal shelters that euthanize animals to adopt a policy for euthanasia, establish a euthanasia training program to be attended by each person who conducts or assists with euthanasia biennially, and maintain a record of such trainings. All other persons would be prohibited from euthanizing an animal by “carbon dioxide or any non-anesthetic inhalant.”
