Wishing you all a very happy and peaceful 4th of July too...
I was just reading a story about L.A. UNLEASHED...on the state spay - neuter bill...(AB 1634).....
...which just passed the California Senate's Local Government Committee and is headed for Appropriations. Originally, the bill mandated that most dogs and cats be spayed or neutered. The bill has since been, pardon the expression, altered.
But opponents are still in an uproar. Why? Let's revisit the thornier issues.....
Under the old version of AB 1634, lots of animals were forever exempt from mandatory sterilization: police dogs, service dogs, animals of licensed breeders, etc.....But now the bill says if an animal gets cited for a violation a few times, the pet will be ordered spayed or neutered. No exceptions. So, ironically, the tamer version of the bill means that the specter of possible neutering and spaying hangs over any dog or cat -- once it runs afoul of animal control ordinances a few times.......
(from the Los Angeles Times).
Wow, that's heavy...
I would like to hear you're opinions to this...especially also from the dogs in LA or Southern California...Edited by author Thu Jul 3, '08 1:08pm PST
