Fucking retard.

Global Warming is now blamed on overpopulation. So, let’s start by every one here going under the knife. People, we have to have the earth!!!!! Really?… I don’t think so.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Firstly an animal that’s not in the shelter is an animal that’s not taking up cage space which is already in high demand. If everybody can be involved in the process of finding these animals good homes, it makes things easier on everybody.

More importantly this law creates situations where it’s expensive and inconvenient to get rid of unwanted animals legally, so why not just simply abandon them so they can roam around freely interbreeding and creating feral cat colonies? It’s not like you’re likely to be traced back and caught.

Most people who want to keep a pet get it spayed or neutered anyway to reduce personal liability of creating more pets in other people’s yards. So all you’re doing is keeping the animal out of the hands of somebody who’s likely have the means by which to spay or neuter it, by putting the onus on a person who probably doesn’t, possibly leading to the reverse of the desired effect.

@ Mike D specifically, I don’t follow your logic at all. Paying money to receive an animal creates no logical incentive to spay or neuter animals. Perhaps you’re more likely to be able to do so if you can come up with the cash but one doesn’t directly follow the other.

In fact, I think it again creates the opposite effect, since paying that sort of money is typically justified by buying pedigrees that’re valuable to breed and sell off. This reduces the pool of people who might consider adopting a mutt by creating an alternative that’s largely considered to be preferable. If this law only applied to pedigrees, it might be construed to make sense as an incentive to prevent breeders from overbreeding themselves but instead these people are specifically exempted…

This law is utter nonsense in my book.
