Good point TJDMom!!! I was thinking about that earlier today. Also, if there is a mandatory spay/neuter, I can just see the prices of spay/neuter going up because the pet buyers will have no choice and have to get it done. I would think the vets would be against this bill also as they make the most money on breeder clients. Also, Petsmart, Petco, and the mailorder companies bank on mostly breeders to buy their products. I would think that they would want to protest this as well. And who will do the "critique" to decide if you are a show kennel and which dogs will be required to be spayed/neutered? It probably wont be the AKC or an AKC judge, it will be some fool that doesnt know zip about the breed he/she is looking at. The only ones that will be laughing all the way to the bank are the pet stores. Everyone will be forced to buy from them and they can jack those prices up even further.
Well, hopefully all the kennel clubs and breeders will get together and fight this. If it can pass in LA, and then pass here, this fire will just keep on spreading. |
