Can you believe this? The new proposed bill in California wants to force pet owner to a mandatory spay neuter by the time the pets are 4 MONTHS OLD!
If you are caught with any pets over 4 months that are not there is a $500 fine!
If you are a breeder, you have to get a permit at $50 to $100 per pet!
Why? to reduce the number of animals being euthanized.
This is outrageous!
First of all the responsible pet owners will do it anyways. The ones who don't care won't. In my opinion it's not going to change anything.
What do you think? What if this bill passes and other states follow suit?
The price of purebred dogs and cats are so much more in California already, if this bill passes, I can't imagine what a new Yorkie puppy would cost, I rarely see a pup for under $1200 and a good breeder is asking for $2500+ for a limited registeration.
