WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
If you are a serious believer in political correctness you probably should not read the following posting.
Los Angles has passed and enacted a new law which with some exceptions requires all pets to be neutered or spayed. Personally I think it is a great law and will go a long way toward saving the lives of many animals. I am an animal lover and I think it is a shame how many animals are euthanized each year. There are also many animals that are mistreated by their owners and other people. A law to raise the punishment of animal abusers would be a great next step for California and the rest of the country.
I also like the fact that it is a city law and that California is also considering it as a state law. I am a strong supporter of states rights and I feel that this is the kind of ruling which belongs to the states and not the federal government.
All that being said I have several reservations about the new law. It is an infringement on our privacy and freedoms. It should be the owner’s decision whether to spay or neuter an animal. It is just another case of a liberal government taking away basic freedoms from their constituents. Organizations like MANBLA are allowed to spread their filth on the Internet; the ACLU is allowed to force cities to get rid of crosses which define the history of the city. Although most states have been able to pass so Jessica’s law to provide mandatory sentences for child predators some states still have law makers blocking versions of Jessica’s law. Yet Los Angles can make a law to make people spay and neuter their pets.
My hope is that maybe now the country can take the next step and pass a law to spay or neuter citizens who can’t afford to have children. Although we don’t euthanize kids whose parents desert them or who can’t afford to feed them, we should do something to prevent these people from procreating. The city of Los Angles and eventually the state of California have decided they don’t like to kill animals but yet they don’t have the guts to stop abortion of human babies. By encouraging neutering and spaying of people who have children they can’t afford to keep or support this could reduce the number of abortions in the country. Maybe we could extent such a law to require the neutering of any man who fails to make his child support payments. Someone who can’t support the their children donot deserve the right to have more children.
I will recap by reiterating that I believe that the animal spay/neutering law is a good law despite the fact that it takes away another of America’s freedoms. However, I would like to see a similar law passed to neutralize adults who can’t afford to raise their offspring.
