I personally believe the government should back off our citizens rights and let us continue to live in a free country. Education is the key and personal beliefs and freedoms shouldn't be tampered with to the extend that they interfere and control so many aspects of our personal lives. |
I love what you have said! The governement has no right to dictate all the decisions that we as pet owners make, i mean to me its scary that they can even pass such laws, because its a slow transition to us not having any say as to what we can and cannot do any longer. There are situations where a spay or neuter surgery should not be done on a dog at all due to health concerns, its just not a one size fits all surgey.
