It's an ordinance of good intentions, that's for certain, but they're going about it the wrong way. When I first read this, my first thought was, how would they be able to enforce such a law? I'm sure they're not going to have cops patroling around looking for intact males, and they'd never be able to tell with females unless their in heat or already pregnant. Most people would not call the police because they saw a dog or know of a dog who isn't spayed or neutered, it's just not easily enforcable, especially if the permit is that cheap.

It's a start, but it probably won't change much. Although it is refreshing to see a bit of knowledge getting out to the public about the pet population.
