And let me add that those who think that they are "off the hook" because they have show dogs, performance dogs, need to read what the LAAS (Los Angeles Animal Services) Spay/Neuter Advisory Board sent in their report to the City council with the suggestions that all the Dog Registries aren't "good" for various reasons. So, take off AKC and other registries, the owner's dogs aren't exempt any longer. Back to EVERY dog has to be s/n in Los Angeles. Then on to the State, and on to other states. Buy a BillBoard, expose them! http://exposeanimalrights.com/ And write, call/phone/email... write comments to the newspapers, talk to your club members, your friends, your elevator acquaintances!
