Your pet WILL be spayed or neutered!
« on: July 10, 2007, 11:28:08 AM »
Just because Bob Barker has retired from TPIR doesn't mean he is sitting around the house.  Looks like Bob wants to make un-spayed & un-neutered pets illegal in California!

The story link is here.

There is also a video on the story as well at this link with a few soundbites from Barker.

I have nothing against Barker advocating that people spay or neuter their pets. But once there's a law on the table that you HAVE to do it or you're breaking said law, that's where I draw the line. If you want to spay or neuter your pets, fine. But that should be your choice, and not the government's requirement. (I've got a dog who we never got fixed, and he's 12. It's our choice.)

Does that dog leave your yard, or comingle with other animals unsupervised in any way? Can you GUARANTEE me that at NO time during those 12 years did a stray bitch in heat wander around? 'Cuz if you can't, guess what? You're part of the problem.

/okay, so I just wanted to type the phrase "bitch in heat" in a totally legitimate context

Outside of taking him on walks, no, and even then it's usually once around the block and that's it. We kept him inside (and still do).

I do want to know how you'd be able to tell, though.

And now Countdown's list of the latest Top 3 nominees for Worst Person in the World.

I'm sure registered dog breeders in California are starting a pool as to when this idea gets laughed out of the Capitol.

If such a law were to work, it should only consider abandoned or stray pets.

So, if a pet is abandoned and is still able to breed, it should be penalized because of someone's neglect?

Also, how do you prove that an animal was a stray or abandoned?
