I'm glad to hear that's in there. I did see a couple posts on various sites from people who will no longer be vacationing here with their pets because they feel the law is ridiculous, probably not enough to make a difference.<BR/><BR/>The sad thing is, no matter how many times it has been shown that this type of thing doesn't work the politicians don't listen. The example of the counties up north that offered free spay and neutering and thus reduced their impound rates by 80-90% is great evidence that there are other solutions other than new laws.<BR/><BR/>Typical for socialist California though...Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978749642618639273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30467634.post-21600372940171114372007-06-16T08:51:00.000-07:002007-06-16T08:51:00.000-07:00AKC delegates just passed a resolution stating the...AKC delegates just passed a resolution stating their displeasure with this bill too. I love this point from their resolution: "mandatory spaying and neutering has proven to be an ineffective solution because it fails to address the heart of the issue�irresponsible ownership."<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, AKC/Eukanuba will still be holding their huge show in Long Beach through 2008 as they have a contract to honor. There is talk of boycotting the show, but I believe that when it comes down to it, dog lovers/owners will still attend. When you've worked for years to get to this level, boycotting may not be worth it to them. <BR/> <BR/>I'm not entirely sure if it passes that this bill will have much affect on tourists. It allows for visiting non-neutered animals for a variety of reasons- such as dog shows.<BR/><BR/>The bottom line is it's a poorly written bill that we don't need and it does not take into account the well-documented health ramifications of early spay/neuter.ozmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01797702467768640531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30467634.post-67625572752884759562007-06-13T16:40:00.000-07:002007-06-13T16:40:00.000-07:00All you'll get from me is another grrrrr.
