Too many animals die each day in shelters because of the overpopulation. I think there should always be exceptions to the law though. It should not be set in stone. But working at a shelter myself I completely stand behind mandatory spay/neuter. |
IMO, if people can't afford to spay or neuter their dog they cannot afford to care for a dog properly, especially if she was to become pregnant. With all the low cost spay neuter programs available, not having the money simply isn't a good excuse.
At least if they are turned into a shelter they will be spayed or neutered before being adopted out. God forbid they are euthanized, at least they won't be contributing to the overpopulation and producing more dogs that will be euthanized.
