California is calling it the Healthy Pet Act, AB1634. Spaying at such an early age causes many health problems. And fines for having an unaltered dog or cat can be in the $500 range. In many counties the cost of spay and neutering has gone from $200 to over $500. If the law passes it would bring an end to many purebred and all mixed-breed dogs. It would also make it easier to start passing breed-ban laws in Kern County and California. You would no longer have the right to own the breed of your choice. In California court, our pets are our property, so really this is a property rights issue. Just another way to tell us what we can't do with our property. If you would like to help fight this new law here in Kern County, please be at the next Kern County Animal Control meeting May 16 at 6 p.m. at 2700 M St. Or take a look at the Web sites below for more information on AB1634 and how you can help join the fight to Save Our Dogs â??â?? and your property rights. â??â??Eddy Aldridge SAVE OUR DOGS IN CA. _http://saveourdogs. net/_ (http://saveourdogs.net/) MORE INFO ON AB 1634 And the health of early S&N _http://www.ab1634. com_ (http://www.ab1634.com/) Cathleen Bennett & Joe Guay Rialto, Ca _www.crossroadsgsd.com_ (http://www.crossroadsgsd.com/) Raised with LOVE, Sold with Care ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
