Do you think there should be a law on fixing pets?

[Suki Wingy]

Yes, if there was a way to get everyone to follow the law or at least be responsible.
I think their should be a Breeding Registry, where your dog has to pass all health tests for that breed and have three refernces from 3 different people who already have registered dogs and maybe a judge too that the dog should be bred in order to be registered. Breeding would only be legal when two registered dogs of the same breed were bred.
Working dog should be registered with a working registration, and if not, then not bred.

The law whould have to be very very detaled but there should be something done to stop over population whatever there doing know is not working very well.

[dab_20]

YES!! If you show your dogs regularly and are a reputable breeder, that would be an exception. That law would be nearly impossible to inforce though.

[Lady's Human]

Given the literally millions of pages of Federal law, and the hundreds of thousands of pages that each state has, how could it be enforced? Which resources would you divert to do so?

[mruffruff]

In South Carolina, every cat or dog that is brought to a shelter of any kind for any reason (including lost) must be spayed/neutered before leaving. Proof that the animal is a registered breed animal is the only exception.

I'd have to say no... And, not because I don't think there are too many un-wanted animals out there, and WAY too many byb's, but to the fact that I show my dogs; and fully intend on breeding them in the future. And I wouldn't like a law telling me I couldn't, when I've done all the hard work; testing that needs to be done to improve the breed. If there were a way to distinguish the BAD breeders from the GOOD breeders, then I'd be all for it. But for there to be some 'blanket law' that says EVERYONE must neuter/spay their animals, then no, I wouldn't support it.

Well that would be part of the law I would imagine, would be having to have a license to breed etc, so I don't think that would apply

[lute]

YES! YES! YES! there should be a law saying you HAVE to spay/neuter your dogs unless they are show dogs.

[luvofallhorses]

you bet I do! unless there is a health problem..they should be fixed.

[BC_MoM]

There's signs around the city now that say "SPAY/NEUTER now or PAY later!" And says a bunch of stuff.. I'm guessing it's a law here.

Great point, that would be a must for all dogs allowed to remain intact and to be breed.
