“WyldeWater Tollers, told councilors that some animal welfare standards recommend that dogs not be spayed or neutered until a year to two years of age”
This is very outdated information and every study not paid for by a breeder in the last 5 years has shown negligible impact across those studies and aggregate studies of those studies data.
It is also built right into the language that if a Vet disagrees with the 6 month timeline they can delay it as necessary in writing and there is no fine…
I love when people get up to complain about the negatives when there are clauses for those very examples in the bill that they would have known if they actually read it.
This is a good first step. Enforcing it all will be the real challenge. We can’t rely on existing staff and police to carry the enforcement load.
Designated funding for the enforcement should be part of any new ordinance.
Follow vet’s advice, but in most cases, absolutely neuter by six months, especially female dogs! In most cases, waiting until 2 yrs of age is simply to ascertain a dog’s breeding status (desirable traits). Puppies are cute and cuddly, but having even 1 litter of puppies contributes to pet overpopulation issue. If you want to love on puppies, volunteer at the Humane Society, where you can play with puppies and help them learn socialization skills all day every day.
So many homeless dogs are Pits or Pit-mixes, it’s heartbreaking. Laws are made to be enforced across the board, but being especially vigilant on Pits will make the most rapid difference in controlling dog overpopulation.
