El Paso, Texas just passed a mandatory microchipping law, but not a mandatory spay or neuter. Their reasoning is that people do not claim their animals when they wind up at the shelter. i think they also levied a per litter fee ($85.00) which gives you a registration number for a litter that you must post with your advertisement for sale. i haven't seen any litter numbers posted in the paper, yet so maybe this part didn't pass or has not come into affect yet. |
