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

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?

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
