There are still too many loop holes to agree to pass this bill according to AKC. So I guess even though it is attempting to help currently it is not in anyones best interest to pass this till the loop holes get worked out in more details. Here's what AKC is saying:This draconian legislation would drastically restrict the rights of responsible dog owners and will lead to conflicting ordinances all across the state. A registry that is accepted in one city may not be accepted by the neighboring county. The requirements for a breeder license may also differ from place to place. Heres the AKC link if anyone wants to go look: http://www.akc.org/canine_legislatio...ion_center.cfm | |

| i am a very small breeder and DO agree w the spay and nueter policy. i will be happy to pay the fee. i don't breed for the money (i normally break even), only for the pure pleasure of giving a family or person the joy and love of a happy healthy baby. i know my babies are healthy and brought up w so much love. if i can give someone this, then the 150 is nothing.

| They said that there is a waiver available for assistance with the cost of the $150 liscencing. However, in my opinion if a family can't afford the cost of spaying or neutering their pet, they shouldn't have one. What if the pet gets seriously ill? They have no money or assistance to pay for that either. Maybe the bill would help weed out these sorts of unintentionally irresponsible pet owners.

| It seems to me that some form of this bill would be a good thing. Any responsible breeder would have no problem affording the permit and the cost of the permit could easily be added to the cost of puppies if necessary. The puppy mills or backyard breeders that won't pay the fee or can't get one because their animals are not AKC (or whatever) registered shouldn't be breeding in the first place. As far as poor familys that can't afford to have their pet spayed/neutered, they should be able to get low cost or free spaying/neutering from the SPCA/shelter. Where I am you can't adopt an unaltered animal from the SPCA anyway. They fix them before you can take them home.

IMO, if you can't provide the best care for the pets that you are breeding, then please, don't even start.

| I for one hope the spay/neuter law passes and Oregon follows suit. Their are too many unwanted dogs and cats due to their owners not taking responsibility by having them spayed or neutered. Maybe then the next time someone decides to drop their dog off out in the country it will at least be spayed and won't end up pregnant leaving the person who might take it in with 7 extra dogs to take care of because they don't have the heart to take them to the pound. Yes that would be me. I found homes for two of them but ended up keeping the rest. Don't get me wrong. I love all my dogs but it does cause extra expenses like fencing in our yard, kennels, getting all of them spayed and neutered and dog food. |

In any case, I think if what the law is attempting to do could be carried out the way it is designed, it would be wonderful. But in reality, there are far too many loop holes and people who just don't care. I doubt it will ever make any real impact. Also, in regards to "signing online petitions," here is an interesting read. Take it as you will. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/internet.asp | |
