We support responsible pet ownership as a millennia/centuries-old societal practice and citizen right. We support animal organizations that promote responsible pet ownership. We support spay and neuter options for pet owners, as recommended by their veterinarians. We support governments' efforts to promote responsible pet ownership when such efforts are fair and balanced.

Original Proposed Bill- http://tinyurl.com/yrgt87

Amended Proposed Bill (Read carefully)- http://tinyurl.com/2yegh2

AB 1634, as proposed, is not fair and balanced legislation. AB 1634 seeks to tax, through burdensome higher license and permit fees, pet owners who choose to keep their animals intact without defining what compelling need would be met by such taxation. AB 1634 seeks to mandate that all cats and dogs be spayed or neutered, with few exceptions, whether they are owned or not, whether they are state residents or not. AB 1634 seeks further restriction on responsible pet owners who properly care for their intact pets, falsely supposedly to cure problems caused by irresponsible pet owners who do not properly care for their intact animals. AB 1634 seeks to set a statewide umbrella of legislative requirement with undefined local jurisdictional direction for equal treatment of all citizens or limitations for license fees, permit fees, taxes, etc. Local and regional jurisdictions could set whatever fees or taxes they deem "necessary" without local citizenry review and approval, to be in compliance with this bad legislation.

National, regional and local responsible pet owners organizations and their members oppose AB 1634 because it is bad legislation. Many of AB 1634's faults and weaknesses have been described by these organizations in their stated opposition.
