California Dog Spay-Neuter Bill on Hold

Responsible Gun Owners Stunned by Bill

Got your attn. didn't I!

Responsible Gun Owners Nipped by Bill


While reading “Still Nipping at pet owners’ heels”, Register 7/24/08, it occurred to me that no one has addressed the real problem or considered that Government-MANDATED reporting, would be used against us!
Would Legislature pass a Bill mandating that “All Guns Must have Safety LOCKS?? To generate revenue, police could then go to the door of every “Registered Gun owner”, to make sure that he has “gun locks” in place, or else he will be “fined” for each “fertile” gun and/or have it taken away!! CASH COW!! That Bill would not address the problem –Too many guns in the hands of criminals, who don’t register them! Meanwhile, law abiding citizens would be the only persons who were “fined/taxed”. But don’t worry, the NRA won’t allow this to happen.
Now, let’s now try that shoe on another Taxpayers’ foot, those of us who’ve acted “responsibly”, and paid taxes(fees) to register our pets. The county knows from these registrations, who we are, and if our pets have been spayed or neutered. Now, Animal Control can come to our homes, WITH PROBABLE CAUSE, and demand that we pay the “fertile fee”. You see, they have probable because, We told them when we registered our pets that we own a fertile animal(s)!!!!

The Gun (Responsible Pet Owner) did it, not the “irresponsible pet owner”, whose conduct is the major cause of overpopulation, and unwanted pet (“unintelligent” pet owners, OC Register “pet problem crisis”, Judi Beaudoin, 7/24/08) . Reputable Breeders “interview” prospective pet owners. Those of us who Show, do the same. We wish to responsibly breed our pets to continue improving our lines, for Show and Quality pets w/o Medical issues, which come about from Puppy Mills.
Let’s kick these Legislators put for trying to GOUGE Responsible Taxpayers, instead of those causing the problem,--- who rarely register their pets!
Legislators are willing to lose valuable revenue generated from AKC Sanctioned Events, because pets that have been “altered”, cannot be shown in AKC Shows, and can no longer reproduce their quality blood lines! AKC has threatened to Boycott California because of this and the prior Bill. California AKC Shows are(were?) second in revenue generation nationally, behind the Westminister Show!

Responsible Dog Owners, Buy bumper stickers proclaiming,

“I OWN A PET, AND I VOTE”!

I agree that animals should be fixed. It is sad that it has had to come to the government having to step in and pass a law to get people to be responsible. I am a bit in-between on this bill.
