County officials were reluctant to stop using the chamber at first because it was provided by North Carolina State University, Bertie County Manager Zee Lamb said.
Then, PETA posted an alert on its Web site that was critical of the county’s use of the gas chamber.
Letters from around the world flooded Lamb’s office. Lamb still has a stack more than an inch thick of letters from as far away as Ohio, Florida, New York and Europe.
The county relented in 2001 and approved to pay a veterinarian to euthanize animals by lethal injection, Lamb said.
