Have you ever picked up a puppy or a kitten for free from a neighbor or friend whose pet had a litter? Well, the Nanny Staters in the People’s Republic of Mexifornia are looking to shut down such natural generosity (or free enterprise, if goods, services, or money is exchanged)
by ensuring only charge-you-an-arm-and-a-leg breeders are allowed to make more puppies and kittens. AB 1634 would make it a requirement that all of us peasants have our kittens and puppies surgically altered so that they can’t make more kittens or puppies when they grow up. The Nanny Staters claim this will prevent stray animals from roaming the streets and costing animal control officials time and money as they track them down and then subsequently “put them to sleep”. I’m
sure it has
nothing to do with what will make professional breeders more money.
This is the same group of dimwits encouraging illegal aliens to continue flooding into our state, bringing the third world to us.
Let's look at this practically.
Stray dogs and cats don’t crowd our schools, emergency rooms, or jails. They usually don’t bog down freeway traffic. They don’t form gangs that terrorize our neighborhood. Frankly, I’d rather deal with their feces and urine in my neighborhood than illegal alien graffiti and litter. Dogs and cats have never made illegal alterations to a building I was living in that could put my life in danger. Dogs and cats don’t require me to pay extra to have everything translated. They don’t tie up our streets and police with audacious demonstrations and then sue our governments in an effort to live high off of the taxpayers.
This intrusive proposal is the result of an erosion of property rights and holding individual accountable. We're being asked to give up yet another freedom.
More and more, I'm considering fleeing my home state like many of my friends have done.
