Save your Dog and Cat

AB250 will create mandatory spay and neuter laws in California.

SB250 is a bill introduced by Senator Florez, who is running for Lt. Governor, and is in the California Assembly. For detailed information you can go here.

Here is a snapshot of what the bill would do:

If your dog gets gets out of your yard or if you have it off leash at a park twice over its entire lifetime, you are deemed irresponsible and you must sterilize that dog and every other intact dog you own. You can never own an unsterilized dog again. That means you can never get another puppy except from the shelter.

If you have a licensed dog is at the park and on leash but without a tag, you are deemed irresponsible - it is considered in violation. So that dog must be sterilized and all your other dogs must be sterilized and you can never own an intact dog again.

If a neighbor complains about your dog and animal control cites you, that dog cited and all your dogs must be sterilized and you can never own an intact dog again.

Any dog training for or participating in an obedience trial, hunting test, dog show, herding trial, earthdog event, agility trial or tracking event is in violation of this bill. When cited by Animal Control, their owners must sterilize all their dogs and can never own an intact animal again.

If you are keeping a dog, for a friend or fostering a rescue dog and it gets out, you are adjudged to be irresponsible and you must sterilize that dog and all intact dogs you own.

    * There is no exemption for Police Dogs.
    * There is no exemption for Cadaver Dogs.
    * There is no exemption for Working Dogs.
    * There is no exemption for Farm Dogs.
    * There is no exemption for Performance Dogs.
    * There are no exemptions for people below the poverty level.


You cannot get a rabies shot for your puppy until it is four months of age. As the bill is written, if you do not get the rabies shot and your license the same day, you can be denied a license for having an unlicensed dog four months of age. You must then sterilize that dog and every other intact dog you own, and you can never own an unsterilized dog again. That means you can never get another puppy except from the shelter.

SB250 does give you a way to get rid of all the penalties and fines: turn your dog over to Animal Control to be euthanized and none of this will cost you a cent.

Both Concerned Dog Owners of California and Save Our Dogs has pointed out these deficiencies to the author and his staff. They have declined to make changes.

Wow. Seems a little extreme.

[*FFC*]

A LITTLE extreme? That's beyond extreme and a complete load of BS! While I do believe that if you don't plan on breeding your dog/cat it should be fixed anyway, I don't think labeling someone as "irresponsible" because your dog is barking is considered reasonable at all.

sounds like Florez must have been bit by a dog when he was a child, 

i think HE needs to be neutered

[WHITE_TRASH]

Just remember kids your fellow citizens voted the morons in...

[yota pu/runner]

That seems way to over the top to me.  I mean come on really if your dog barks or you are at the park and he doesn't have hie leash on, what it you are at the dog park where he/she doesn't need to have a leash on would you be cited then?

[Stocker]

vote no on everything these morons write up

It would be great to vote the morons straight out of office.

It's discouraging to realize how many morons voted to elect them in the first place.

I just realized the world is being overrun by morons....  

Say, has anyone seen the movie "Idiocracy"?
