Spay/neuter outcry

I wrote an article recently about a possible mandatory spay/neuter program in Baldwin Park. Councilwomen Marlen Garcia and Monica Garcia want to require all puppies and kittens be fixed by the time they are 4 months old.
City staff members are looking into the proposal now, and will likely come back with a recommendation in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, the story seems to have sparked some outrage among readers. Heres some feedback Ive received:

I urge you to ask officials how mandatory spay/neuter will solve their stray dog or cat population. When you have “NO ONE” to answer for their pet how will this make any difference at all? Yes the “owned” animals will be taken care of but not the “unowned”animals which by far is the largest problem across the country.
Forcing people to do something rarely has a positive out come. We have found within our own breed rescue roughly 80-90% of the animals we take in are “already” altered. It is only the stray animals we rescue from a shelter that are not already altered. There is no one to answer for that, so I wonder will this ever make a difference? Or will this only put us rescuers at odds with pet owners?

And another:

Saw your article on Baldwin Park being led down the path of irresponsibility by people who think they know what they don’t know! I’d like to give you a few things to ponder before you do another article – and maybe you’ll understand the situation better than the politicos!!!

OK – here goes – IF you haven’t had the opportunity to reead “Redemption” by Nathan Winograd, I would suggest you do so. It has all the answers regarding the shelter systems and how they can be No Kill! Our shelter managers apparently are incapable or unwilling to read and follow his steps. He has the answers and has proven such in the past. It details that there really is not an over-population and that the shelters just don’t want to help.

Another book you can read is “Hijacking the Humane Movement” by Patti Strand. This book was written in the ’80;s and details exactly how the ARses (aka Animal Rights) will start this whole problem we’re seeing today. They are on an agenda to take away animals from human contact. That’s right – no companion animals, no farm animals – no leather, meat, milk products, eggs, silk, zoos, riding horses, pets, and the list goes on. They are on a path to make all humans be VEGAN! Do you live that life already or are you willing to abide by it? Why do I ask – because they are on their way to make it the law of the land. With that agenda – it also takes away the personal rights and liberties that our forefathers fought for, spilled blood for, and are guarenteed in our US Constitution! Not a pretty sight!!!

While you’re at it – George Orwell detailed all this in “1984” – his infamous book! It gave me nightmares when I was a teenager – and reading it again is still scarey! Have you read it? Do you want to live in such an environment? Do you want to leave this type of world to your children? Do you know – I actually had a VEGAN tell me that we (humans) should go extinct so that the planet can heal itself. I had no answer for the young lady, I have never met anyone THAT sick and depressed and sad!

So – as you see, there are a lot of items here that are NOT as they’ve been presented. Also:
1. Did you know that most Vets do not approve doing castrations or hysterectomies on animals that young. They do not develop properly!
2. Many of the shelters are NOT full, and are acutally bringing in dogs from other countries to keep their shelters full. Check out Best Friends, a shelter system in UT – they brag about it.
3. Most of the dogs (about 80% or so) in the shelters are already castrated or hysterectomied. They’re turned into shelters because they are teenagers that owners never bothered to learn how to control, owners passed away, OR (WORST) the owners lost their homes due to the mortgage problems and couldn’t take their pets with them.
4. Over 80% of the cats are feral – meaning they have no owners! TNR is the answer for them (Trap, Neuter, and Release). Did you know that the churches tried to exterminate the cats in Europe because they were the consorts of witches? They almost succeeded – however, as there weren’t many cats, the rats proceeded to take over, spread the Bubonic Plauge (aka Black Death), and Europe had the Dark Ages!
5. The Politicos are actually practicing medicine without a license. Now – THAT’s SCAREY!!!!

Want some more answers – read the books I’ve suggested! I am reading them and have been horrified that what I thought isn’t so! YES – I believed there was an overpopulation, I recommended s/n to people – I haven’t finished reading these books but I no longer believe this. Did you know that PETA put to death 97% of the animals they took in – and that’s THEIR numbers? Did you know that H$U$ doesn’t even have a shelter? In fact – last I heard, they were under investigation by the LA Atty General for all the dogs they destroyed/disappeared after Katrina – AND THEY WERE PAID TO CARE FOR!!!

OK – Tania – you now have more info than the politicos. Let them know that you are educated. Remind them that the Nazis did exactly this – they took away the guns AND dogs from the general populace. It certainly worked there!

Thoughts anyone?
