Nava AB241

I'm hoping Governor Schwarzenegger signs AB241,

It just isn't right that the same dog breeder who has 20 unfixed dogs, makes the people who buy her puppies sign a spay/ neuter contract.

Why should 97 people never have a litter of puppies, just so 3 people's dogs can have 100 litters?

Don't believe that rubbish that show dog breeders say about show dogs being "better".

Show dogs are better at winning dog shows. But most people want a pet dog.

If you are looking for a PET dog, don't believe that rubbish that hunting dog breeders say about field bred hunting dogs being "better" - field bred hunting dogs are better at hunting, not necessarily at dog shows or as pets.

Pet dog puppies should come from inside of homes, raised with a family.

How could a person with 80 dogs that live in a concrete & chain link kennel, even know if those dogs could be housebroke if they were in a house, or if those dogs would have been good with kids, if they had been raised with kids?

The law is very generous, limiting people to "only" 50 adult dogs and cats, who are are unfixed.

You can still have more than 50 dogs and cats, but only 50 of them can be unfixed (unspayed/ un-neutered).

And the law only counts the adult dogs & cats.

And it only applies to those who use dogs for breeding or sell of puppies as pets.

And it exempts rescues.

There's nothing angelic about showing dogs, it just another hobby like bowling, except that bowling balls aren't bought as pets, and don't suffer if you neglect them.
