There is one company in the Czech Republic that still makes Zyklon B, though they market it under another name. Its marketed as an insect killer, which was the purpose for which it was originally developed. I'd say that what gets used in animal shelters varies from shelter to shelter. I know of one near my home that used to use engine exhaust. I'd imagine quite a few use cyanide crystals and hydrochloric acid to create cyanide gas, as is done in gas chambers on death row in penitentiaries.

Which animal shelters have a no kill animal policy?

In my opinion, yes. Animals should not be killed if they can't get adopted. Put it this way, if you were in a foster home and you couldn't get adopted, would you want to be killed? No, so why should the shelters kill the animals? Exactly, they shouldn't because that is called abuse. So final answer: All animal shelters should become no-kill animal shelters.

Currently, no government institution or animal organization is responsible for tabulating national statistics for the animal protection movement. These are national estimates; the figures may vary from state to state.Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats.Each year, approximately 2.7 million animals are euthanized (1.2 million dogs and 1.4 million cats).Approximately 2.7 million shelter animals are adopted each year (1.4 million dogs and 1.3 million cats).About 649,000 animals who enter shelters as strays are returned to their owners. Of those, 542,000 are dogs and only 100,000 are cats.Of the dogs entering shelters, approximately 35% are adopted, 31% are euthanized and 26% of dogs who came in as strays are returned to their owner.Of the cats entering shelters, approximately 37% are adopted, 41% are euthanized, and less than 5% of cats who came in as strays are returned to their owners.About twice as many animals enter shelters as strays compared to the number that are relinquished by their owners.
