I was thinking about that... what will they do with aggressive animals. I don't think the new law is very clear about that, but I guess that they will still be PTS.
It's so sad, we had so many dogs attacks this year. Most of them were, in my opinion, the owners' fault. Lots of people are getting rottweilers, pitt bulls and dogos argentinos just for safety reasons. They keep them chained in the backyard with just food and a very little attention, and that's why they end up attacking someone they shouldn't.

Eh, I guess this is good as a whole but I've seen the horrors of dogs living at the shelter in small kennel runs for years.

I am unable to read your article, but if the government bans the PTS
procedure they should then have a plan for getting private vets to do all
the spay/neuter surgeries. i hope they have a follow up plan to actually
make a big difference for the animals.

I don't know how I feel about this. I hope it works out well.

Perhaps the shelters will do what some no-kills around here do...pass the animals they want PTS on to animal control or some other organization so they can do it. SOMETHING has to be done with the extra animals, and letting them sit in a kennel and go mad if they aren't adopted is not the solution IMO.
