Dead Dog Walkin'
Are New York and California in a contest to determine which is the hotbed for stupid legislation. How about, instead of arguing over euthenasia intrinsic value, they consider placing fines on people who neglect spaying/neutering their pets and even heavier fines on people caught abandoning pets. I seriously don't see the merits of this legislation. It's like taking a dump at a skunk farm.

It is a sad reality that euthanisia is neccesary to control the animal populations. If it can be avoided, great, but if it has to be done, it has to be done. :(
And I definetely agree with you Kelly. "Backyard breeders" who breed their pets irresponsibly are a major factor in animal overpopulation. My own dog was found abandoned at a recycling center as a pup. If nobody had adopted him, he would have been destroyed. People who abandon animals make me sick. >: |

And can you really force people fix their pets? |
Unfortunately, you can't really force people to fix their pets as, I'm willing to bet, most pets are muts and other than vet records, there's no way to trace that a person is a pet owner at all. What you can do; however, is to provide some kind of incentive for pet owners to fix there pets and make the cost of that particular procedure so nominal that cost wouldn't be so much of a concern. I don't particularly like the fact that pets have to be euthanized in order to control the population but realistically, until people start showing a keener interest in "planned parenthood", I don't see a better option. Besides, have you ever been to a local dog pound? I was considering getting a dog from one and came to realize, through inspection, that the majority of them were either sick or ill-tempered. I actually took an alaskan husky home for a few days and he growled and bared his teeth at me for no reason ... back to the pound he went. You never know how previous owners may have abused their pets.

It is true that dogs in pounds are often ill-tempered or sick. But occasionally there is a decent one.
