We on the other hand try to take in any "dumped" animal and try to find them a home or at least take them to the shelter BEFORE our gun happy animal control agent gets a hold of them....

But I agree that the laws need to change and the puppy mills need to be shut down. Just because they have USDA license shouldn't give them free reign...

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, THIS HAPPENING IN THE UNITED STATES SHOULD NEVER BE.

I do not go along with laws being passed to make anyone spay/neuter their pet this should be an individuals choice and not a law passed to be made to do so.

This mandatory spay/neuter law was passed several years ago in our area, we did not want to have Baby Blessing spayed but was made to do so. Not right.

Due to this law being passed in our area, we're aware of people not getting their dogs shots at all nor taking them to the vets, so they can avoid being made to spay/neuter. In not getting the neccessary shots is not good for the pets. The strays on the streets have not lessened in fact it seems to be worse to us.

We are moving to another state and hopefully it will be one that doesn't have these stupid laws passed. All this law is doing here is making responsable pet owners to become liars and irresponsable to the well being of their pets.

When I protested to the county about getting Baby Blessing spayed I was told face fines ( and were fined ) and after six months possable go to jail. Come on big brother in government where are the priorites? The jails are over flowing now so where they gonna put us Lil Ole Grannies, in the kichen making soups for all dem bad guys?
Sorry but guess I have to put a little humor in this sad situation or my BP would be sky rocketing.

By the way in order for spay, rabi shot is neccessary, rabi shot can't be given till 4 months of age and the spay is required at four months............very small ones at four months are too tiny and then the county has the right to put our beloved pets life at risk. This is upsetting to me.

We love all dogs and cats but the answer to the problem lies within people being educated to the needs of control in pet population and it is not being done the right way. I generally try to stay away from posting on subjects but this one we can't help but express our view.
