FUR FLIES OVER MEASURE TO SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PET
Timmy and Lassie are coming to the Capitol on Wednesday, along with dozens of other pet lovers to demonstrate their opposition to a yet another new bill requiring pets to be spayed or neutered.
AB 1634 by Assemblyman Lloyd Levine (D), Van Nuys would allow animal control officers to issue citations to pet owners–$50 fine for the first offense, $100 for the second, and mandatory spay or neuter for the third.
Officers won’t be knocking on doors to enforce the law, but can check out your pet while in the course of investigating complaints. Critics contend pesky neighbors can file complaints against people they don’t like to get them in trouble.
Supporters counter that Timmy and Lassie have been hired to be there to help kill the bill. We’ll profile the nasty dog/cat fight in the battle to reduce overcrowding in pet shelters.
