Also, is California planning on creating a state animal control agency or increasing funding to local govenments to pay for the enforcement and compliance with such a law? Most local governments with animal control departments already have leash laws with fines in place. They aren't being enforced apparently if there really is a plethora of pets running the streets of California.
I fully support government low cost alteration programs so long as they are voluntary, for those owners who want to avoid unwanted litters but who have limited means. Both government or shelter operated clinics and voucher programs are extremely effective. |
