Claims that a law to force the sterilization of dogs and cats in California “will save millions of taxpayer dollars” are being discounted after government documents show that animal control expenses have nearly doubled in the county that serves as the model for the proposed statewide measure.
If anyone wants to read the rest of the article I can forward it to you.
I can only hope this doesn't gain a foothold and move on to other states. It does sound like California, despite the strong argument against it, is starting to roll with it.

. . . I wonder what he's got up his sleeve for next year?
From the local paper:
"Assemblyman Lloyd Levine already has begun to recast his measure to narrow its reach in ways that could attract more support next year.
The Sherman Oaks Democrat proposes to strike the controversial mandatory spaying and neutering provision and replace it with more palatable language that would target “irresponsible” owners. For example, Levine said animal control officers could force owners to spay or neuter their pets if they are cited for an animal-related offense, such as rounding up an escaped dog or responding to excessive-barking complaints. "A law-abiding citizen who chooses to keep an intact animal in their house would not be touched by this law,” Levine said."
On it's face, it sounds a little better, but this is coming from the same guy who proposed a bill to ban incandescent light bulbs in California and wants to ban the use of cars for destinations less than 5 miles. "Californians will be required to walk, bicycle, take mass transit, or ride a scooter (100cc maximum engine size) when going to the grocery store, school, work, or anywhere else less than five miles from home." And we wonder why people point to California and snicker.
Watch for the opening of a state-wide chain of Levine Bike Shops.
