SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — A Utah actress is championing a cause close to her heart. Katherine Heigl joined Sen. Mike McKell (R-Spanish Fork) in introducing a bill that will ban gas chamber euthanasia in animal shelters Wednesday, Jan. 18, at the Utah State Capitol. This marks the 10th legislative session where Utah lawmakers have tried to pass the ban. Senate Bill 108 addresses euthanization methods in animal shelters and requires shelters to adopt a humane euthanasia policy and training program. The bill mandates that sodium pentobarbital or a derivative shall be the exclusive method for euthanasia.
