Adoptions, intake, owner surrenders, euthanasia.

What other sort of facility does this?

Having spent some years working in a humane society, I am quite familiar with the paperwork that needs to be filed annually. I am also a certified vet tech and hand to completely a course and learn a few laws that pertain both locally and nationally.

To administer the injectable euthanasia solution you need to be either a Humane Society (not a rescue, but a physical location with an on staff vet of sorts be it paid or volunteer) or you must be a veterinary clinic. In a humane society you do not need to be anything more than a CET. Certification may vary. In wisconsin, where I am you only need to complete the course 1 time and you are certified for life. In Illinois for example you must take the course either annually or bi-annually. I would have to pull my paperwork to confirm.

The drugs used are controlled substances and each ML MUST be accounted for. Paperwork must be filed by state laws and each injection must be reported. Also most states require reporting by organizations operating as a humane society as to the placement of animals if they hold stray, municipal or wildlife contracts. This paperwork is a matter of public records.

If you look at Page 2 of the 25 page PDF, this is the official paperwork submitted. It lists PETA as a HUMANE SOCIETY.

I would assume that the state of Virginia charges for this report which is why it was probably printed and put into a PDF Format.
