KTVZ News Team By Cassidy Wixom     SALT LAKE CITY ( KSL ) — A years long battle to ban gas chamber deaths in animal shelters has nearly ended in Utah. 'It's been such a monumental thing for us to finally get this passed,' said Sundays Hunt, the Utah director for the Humane Society of the United States. Hunt first started working on banning gas chambers in 2013 and has been pushing legislation to get passed every year since then. SB108 regulates animal shelters to only allow 'humane' methods of euthanasia for cats and dogs.
