Arizona:
Mandatory Spay or Neuter Measure Awaits House Committee!
Friday,
February 29, 2008
sponsored by State Representative Ed Ableser (D-17), would
prohibit
persons
from owning or keeping a dog or cat that is more than six
months old
if the animal has not been spayed or neutered. A person
would
have to obtain an intact permit to own an animal that does not
fit the
criteria, which places an unfair burden on Arizona cat and dog breeders.
HB2516
is currently in the House waiting to be assigned to a committee.
It is
important that fanciers continue to monitor this bill
that would severely impact breeders if it were to become law.
Please
contact your State Representative and urge him or her to oppose
HB2516.
