Spay and neuter billboards

In an effort to raise awareness for the need to spay and neuter pets, an animal rights group unveiled a billboard campaign in support of a state bill that would require most cats and dogs to be spayed or neutered.

The California Healthy Pets Act would require cats and dogs ages 6 months or older to be fixed.

Pet owners who fail to have their animals spayed or neutered could be fined $500.
Animals that are used to compete, work with law enforcement agencies or herd livestock would be exempt from the proposed state law.

To euthanize those 500,000 pets costs taxpayers in the state of California $250 million, at a time when here the state is virtually on its knees as far as the economy is concerned," said retired game show host Bob Barker, a longtime animal rights activist.

Earlier this year, the city of Los Angeles enacted an ordinance that requires most dogs and cats to be fixed by the time they are 4 months old.
