Spay/Neuter is an important medical decision that should be made for each individual pet only after careful consultation with the pet's veterinarian, instead of mandated at a fixed age by the government.

Mandatory Spay/Neuter, when enacted in other locations including San Mateo County, California, and Santa Cruz County, California, and more recently the City of Los Angeles, California, has caused rates of animal shelter intakes, euthanasia rates, and animal control government costs to go up in relation to surrounding communities where Mandatory Spay/Neuter has not been enacted.

Mandatory Spay/Neuter, where enacted, has reduced compliance with pet licensing, and in certain area, has also reduced compliance with rabies vaccination requirements. Reduction in the percentage of pets vaccinated against rabies could have serious public health consequences.

So does overpopulation - they are trying to solve a problem (perceived or real) I don't know what a real solution is, but they are trying - I'll at least give them that.

So you would be ok with them [gov] coming over and putting a device on your car to limit your speed to 35 miles an hour? Maybe they will have one that makes it impossible for you to have water in your house any hotter than 55 degrees. The government is messing with your property, what you own, and if you give these rights away other rights will follow.
