California Spay-Neuter Bill Moves to Senate

This article underscores what it takes to have your dog or cat be surgically altered. Everyone can agree that roaming dogs are a problem and some might even feel that spaying or neutering is a feel good response to it.
In my neighborhood, it isn't the intact dogs and cats left to roam, it is the spayed and neutered ones. In my neighborhood the responsible owners are the owners of intact aninmals, while the vast majority of spayed and neutered animals are owned by irresponsible owners that let their dogs wreak havoc in the neighbhorhood.
What this bill does is make not wearing a licence tag reason enough for spay or neuter. Show dogs don't wear license tags when they are being shown. It just takes on AC officer on the public fairgrounds during a show and suddenly there are over two thousand intact dogs that will have to be spayed or neutered. Thats what the bill will allow.
You and your brand new (intact)puppy are driving along, minding your own business when a drunk driver hits you head on. Your puppy is thrown from the car realitively unhurt. The EMTs report that there is a puppy loose and you are taken to the hospital. Meanwhile AC picks up your dog- and while it is under the knife, your puppy has a bad reaction and stops breathing. Yep, you have a dead puppy because of SB250.
Your Westminster winning show dog and you are enjoying a walk on the beach. Being a responsible owner, you have your dog on leash. But what you didn't know was that the local code says that you can only walk on the beach with a 6 foot leash, but your leash is 8 feet. Now your valuable show dog is not so valuable because it is spayed and neutered.
