SB County Mandatory Spay and Neuter-Bad for good dogs V1

Back

There are other options! Santa Barbara could join the shelter communities who have embraced the No Kill Agenda and worked as a community to solve its problems. http://www.nokilladvocacycenter.org/ Call and write your County Supervisors. http://www.countyofsb.org SB County Shelter Data: http://www.naiashelterproject.org/shelter_chart.cfm?shelter_id=911&state=CA It would be irresponsible of Animal Control, the Board of Supervisors, Veterinary Professionals and the pet owning community to fail to weigh the relative costs and benefits of neutering on the individual animal's health and well being deciding the age for such surgery at the right time for that individual. The decision for females is more complex, further emphasizing the need for individualized veterinary medical decisions, not standard operating procedures for all.

"Perhaps it is no coincidence that the nation's largest animal rights group, The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), appeared frequently in the county during this period, through consulting work at shelters, giving a national leadership award to Santa Barbara state legislator Pedro Nava, praising Shelter Director Jan Glick for her work on issues ranging from wild horse rescue to dog fighting investigations, and working closely with activist and local veterinarian Dr. Ron Faoro on failed statewide mandatory spay/neuter legislation. HSUS has nothing to do with local humane societies or helping animals. Instead, it is a national political lobbying group that pushes the animal rights agenda. Its head, Wayne Pacelle, has been quoted repeatedly expressing opposition to animal ownership and breeding in any form."
