I commend the State of Virginia for being a leader in combatting the unnecessary euthanasia of so many animals without the effort of finding them forever homes.  How a community treats their weakest members is an indication of that society's moral fiber.  I am so pleased that Virginia representatives have taken the right path and have not bowed down to the lobbyists.  Thank you for doing the right thing and protecting animals.  My hope is,that other states will follow in your example.  Watching anxiously from Canada for the final stages of this bill.  Sincerely, Angela Hanson
