I'm in the LA area this week, and yesterday on the way to lunch there was a blurb about it the radio. The woman I was with was saying how she didn't like the law cuase some people couldn't afford to spay/neuter and what about breeder's? Then she said they should just charge more/yr for a license if they aren't going to alter their pet.

I took a deep breath, bit my tongue (I do have to work with this woman), but then calmly said, if someone can afford to pay more/year for a license, why not just pay once and have the dog fixed? She didn't really have an answer to that, and there were so, so many other comments I wanted to make (like if you can afford proper vet care, why do you have an animal in the first place), but I just let the subject drop.


I don't know if the law is perfect, or how it will play out over time, but I think it is a good first step and will be intersted to see if other areas adopt it.
