Gatesville "Pound" Photographs
This is the old police car they use to pump exhaust into the chamber.  Notice the exhaust piping set-up.
Inside, the animals suffer, are terrified and are gasping for air.
This is the rear of the chamber where the exhaust-filled piping is attached to the chamber, with exhaust pouring into the dark interior (with the other end attached to the police car).
This is a photo of the stick they use, which is wedged between the accelerator and the seat.  This way, they can leave and not think about what they're doing and what's going on inside that dark chamber of horrors.
This is the inside of a dumpster next to the chamber.  Inside the plastic are the animals that they remove from the chamber.
This poor puppy has his nose stuck through the fence, and there is another dog in the background.  The poor little guy with his nose stuck in the fence probably wishes he could go somewhere warm and dry.

Notice the old *rusted* drums in which these poor puppies have to sleep.  And these puppies are *outside* with nothing to keep them warm from the cold wind and rain.  And, it's December.
These are the cages that little kitties have to stay in.  Notice that the cages have no floor, only the wiring of the cages, so the kitties' little feet get tangled in them.  And there is nothing soft in the cages for the kitties to lie on.

And, what about the little baby at the top of the photo?  The cage is sideways, so he's always having to try to keep his balance and keep from sliding.
