KINGMAN - Mohave County supervisors approved Monday to conduct a study for a
county ordinance requiring all pets in the county to be spayed or neutered.
Dist. 1 Sup. Pete Byers said each year tens of thousands of dogs and cats are
euthanized each year at the county's animal control because they are
unwanted.
Several speakers spoke emotionally of the needless killing of unwanted dogs
and cats and the need for a mandatory spay or neutering ordinance.
About 80 percent of all animals brought to the county's animal control
shelter are euthanized each year. Of the 7,000-8,000 animals taken in each
year,
about 5,000-7,000 are euthanized.
Animals are euthanized daily at the animal control shelter in Kingman and
about three days a week at the Mohave Valley office.
Dist. 3 Sup. Buster Johnson didn't think an ordinance was the right answer
instead saying the pet owner should be held more accountable.
Byers said he wants an ordinance restricting pet owners and breeders with an
enforceable ordinance.
The ordinance would require any dog or cat more than six months old to be
spayed or neutered unless the owner holds an unaltered license.
A breeder's permit is required for all breeders who sell or give away their
animals. The permit must be purchased before the litter of puppies or kittens
are born.
A minor breeder's permit would be $50 a year for one unaltered male and one
unaltered female.
A major breeder's permit would be $85 a year for one unaltered male and more
than one unaltered female.
Breeders are required to keep records of all births and be limited to one
litter a year.
Cats would be prohibited from running at large and be spayed and neutered.
Any pet bought from a pet shop must be spayed and neutered within six months
of birth.
It would be illegal to advertise to county residents the availability of an
unaltered dog or cat.
The exception for spaying or neutering is if a veterinarian determines if the
animal's age or health problems is too great a risk for surgery.
Anyone who fails to comply with the ordinance would be fined
