new law

I saw where a law was started this year to use money from the state's rabies tags to fund spay and neuter programs. I thought this sounded promising. Hopefully it will make a difference. It's not perfect, but it's a start.

Now that sounds like a good idea!

That does sound like a good start. Now we need a county licensing program for dogs and cats, with higher license fees for animals that have not been spayed or neutered.

 

Now all we need to do is make animal abuse a FELONY.

 

Better yet...People with to many animals should be taxed more, held accountable for their dogs and cats poop in the neighbors yard and a pre-tax just in case they bite someone.:beathorse:

 

It really should be against the law not to have your cats spayed and neutered.

 

Requiring spaying/neutering by law may not help all that much since a huge number of animals breeding are strays. I'd like to see incentives to get it done rather than punishments if you don't. Using the rabies fees sounds like a good start to me.

Well, I agree there should be hefty fines with people who let their dogs/cats wonder off a leash. If they can't be contained, don't get them. I LOVE my animals, but I don't want other people's animals in my yard. Last house my neighbors cat bit my daughter in my yard and hadn't had vaccines...I HATE irresponsible pet owners!
