I also agree that this bill should be voted down. After all, how many small show breeders wind up putting their puppies in shelters? In my area, the shelter rarely has any puppies but only adult dogs. The biggest problem seems to actually be with the cats and even those are usually adults. I think we would be better off spending the money screening people or educating people on how to be good owners instead of limiting people. Maybe provide some free spay/neuter clinics and give a little incentive to them. But there will always be irresponsible people out there and I don't see how this law is going to somehow make those irresponsible or downright dishonest people obey the law. Puppymillers will still breed their dogs like always, and for them it's much more cost effective when you are having the same female and breeding her on every cycle. I think it's only going to affect those that already do the right thing and most of them already spay and neuter their pets or breed responsibly. Yes, there are always exceptions to the rule but I think the law will wind up forcing prices up on the sale of dogs and the end result will be that people will be forced to go to puppymills or pet stores in order to be able to afford one at all. Is that what we really want?
