......to spay and neuter every dog and cat in California. It is a mandatory law, you have no choice about it unless you have a valid breeding permit, then you have to pay a $500 fee if you have that, plus $100 per year licencing fees.
I am not sure I agree with this, it is a little bit to "Big Brother" for me. You are already paying $100 per year instead of $10 to keep your pet intact. Cutter has breeding papers and I'll bite the bullet on the fees, so he will keep his jewels.
To me it just looks like a way for Cali to gain more revenues

You need to visit us in hillbilly land where people outnumber teeth, shoes are for when it rains, and there's suburbs entirely populated by cats and dogs commuting into town each day to clean out the dumpster behind the Foster Freeze to understand where the problem lies. I'm pretty sure Mission Hills has fewer cats and dogs than it does OPERABLE motor vehicles.

We don't worry, there is a Korean neighborhood close by
Bingo - it's a TAX / FEE and if you truly want to make it effective - you have to make the fee more than the cost of getting your dog altered. If you want to breed - you have to be responsible -and that means coughing up some money. Go watch the hundreds of euthanasia's per week at a local shelter - including purebred dogs and puppies - and then wonder why they are making it painful for people to keep intact animals.
You guys can brag about that state you live in (Californy)...but they come up with the most fucked up laws in the country. So..what happens if you dont go along with this?

California is a really great place to live laws notwithstanding.
If you don't go along with this?
Well, the dog catcher doesn't go to the wealthy neighborhoods and the rich folks don't tolerate pet overpopulation anyways so they're set.
The middle class guys will yell and scream about the law but in the end they'll either spay their pets, pay the breeders fee, or keep their animals in their yards where no one needs to know what is going on.
The poor folks will just get fined, show up and say they can't pay the fine, be told they need to alter their animal or else and the fine will be dropped, and then do nothing until they get fined again, then repeat the cycle.
So actually things aren't going to change that much.
