These last three quotes are what seems to me to be at the crux of the opposition to this ordinance.......and I have no doubt that every puppy mill, BYB, and animal abuser out there would heartily agree with you. I bet they go to sleep at night reciting precisely this to themselves about us trying to encourage them not to breed beyond their ability to nurture, not to breed their "nice" dog, and not to kick, hit, or chain their dog to a tree.

So just because I like to have my consitutional rights means that I am in bed with puppymills, byb, and animal abusers???? Is that what you are saying??? If so, I am highly offended. There is a reason why there is a US Constitution and why we have all of those amendments. There are reasons and those reasons are so that the government can not abuse their law abiding citizens.
I am just waiting for when they pass the law that says that you can not feed your animals anything but commerically produced dry and canned food. The SF area is a hotbed of AR types. I have read where they think home feeding animals is cruel. So when the law is passed saying that you can only feed Science Diet, I will be right there, standing next to you as you say that law is not fair and not constitutional. But until they pass a law that affects YOU personally, don't you think you should respect those of us that want to fight unconstitutional laws that affect others?
The only thing that spaying and neutering at 4 months is going to do is make PETA happy. This LA ordinance will be complaint driven. That is going to pit neighbor against neighbor. Not to mention uneven enforcement- they are going to pick and chose who they enforce and who they don't. That is discriminatory. Have you ever been discriminated against? I HAVE and it doesn't feel good. This thing screams of it.
I know people that have rottweilers that are only USRC registered. They don't like the AKC and only do USRC events. If they lived in LA, do you think they would be able to keep their rotts intact? Do you think the USRC is legit? How would you prove it was to the admin person that hates rottweilers to get their approval to get it on the holy approved list? What if you have a rare breed with a funny name. Do you think you would be able to convience that same person that your oddly named dog with the oddly named registery isn't something that they cooked up on their home computer?
This law is going to make people jump through all sorts of silly hoops to do something that really shouldn't be considered a criminal act. The whole crutch of the American Way is that people are innocent until proven guilty. This law assumes guilt by association- having intact animals.
Any Budists out there in LA? They don't believe in altering based on religious reasons- will they be able to be exempt?
