As the US gets bigger the animal population will grow as well....we can't stop growth unfortunately even within the animal kingdom. Education and more education is what it's gonna take not the government taking control. I abide by the laws for the most part (yes I speed against the law) but I pay for it. Unfortuately, we need to stop puppymills and byb's because I think that is the biggest problem we have if we want animals to stay safe and healthy. Unfortunately we can't stop people from turning their animals over to a shelter just like we can't stop moms or dads from turning their children over to CPS or adoption homes. There is just as many children in foster care as there are animals in shelters. I don't like to compare animals to children because I care for both and hate to see what happens to either when put in a bad situation....I also eat meat so am I to be flogged and whipped? NO but they are animals just the same. Find a way to stop puppymills and byb's and just maybe the over pet population will slow down....if the demand isn't there the supply wouldn't be there....Breed responsibly and spay and neuter pets and educate potiential pet owners and maybe something can be done. We won't all agree with each other it's the way of life unfortunately....
JMHO
And another thing if PETA had their way we wouldn't have pets or us meat eaters wouldn't be able to eat steak, pork ect....It really ticks me off when PETA makes themselves sound responsible but when they come to dog shows and turn dogs out of their protective crates to have the chance to get hurt then I have a problem....JMHO Agree or disagree but this is how I see it 
This may be off topic alittle but all this legislation is getting out of hand and it's going to ruin all the nice healthy pets, pet owners are wanting and us responsible breeders are striving for....us small time breeders won't have the nice healthy pets you all want because I won't be able to afford over $100 to $500 for a breeding license for each breeding intact animal.....Just go look up the bill that was passed in Dallas, Texa because of the bill that was started in CA....it's going all over the US......that is why we are against it! I hope those that support these bills will be happy with less than healthy pets....Again JMHO.....

That's why I'm asking for people to read the bill for themselves and see what it says, don't take any special interest group word for it. I'm totally against any group, who believes the end justifies the means, but please don't let your beliefs about PETA, influence you on this bill.
The bill would require neutering, and spaying of those dogs, and cats who have been picked up by the pound three times. Those dogs and cats are responsible for lots of unwanted pregnancies. Education is great, but some of the people involved in this just don't care enough to get educated. The whole point of my post is that there are too many special interest groups, who mislead the public, but just because you don't trust one group, please don't put all your faith in these "sporting dog" groups.
