Do not get me wrong.  It is a good idea to make sure your dogs and cats can’t reproduce. Every pet I have ever had was spayed or neutered.  Well, fish don’t count. However, I think the mandatory spay and neuter law favored by Clark County Animal Control is misguided at best.  Admittedly, the statute is unavailable to me and so I cannot know exactly what it says.  However, a number of questions spring to mind.

How exactly do they intend to enforce it?  Does it account for animal breeders?  For feral cats?  Many sources say cats and dogs should be spayed at 6 months, but the proposed law insists on 4 months;  is that really a good idea, and safe for the animal?  The proposed law is based on one enacted by the City of North Las Vegas;  how well has it worked out for them, or is it too soon to tell?

Will this effect Sigfried and Roy?

More questions than answers.
