Lloyd Levine, D-Van Nuys is proposing a bill, AB1634, that would require all dogs and cats in California be spayed or neutered unless they are registered purebreds and have special, government-issued permits.
He is at least taking action on a problem that is far beyond drastic.
The well meaning proponents of feral and roaming cats have resisted realistic and responsible methods of controlling pet over population until it is now reaching critical mass in many areas of this country and world. This legislation may only be the first of backlashes we see from lawmakers pressured by the majority who are fed up with the status quo.
The one issue in this most people are ignoring is how has this glut of uncontrolled domestic pets impacted our ecology. Most biologists and ecologists say it has been catastrophic. I applaud Mr. Levine for taking action.
