California spay/neuter law?

Look what LA and friends are up to.....
They are trying to get a bill introduced in CALI
MSN
Mandatory Spay/Neuter!!!! That means ALL DOGS
NO MORE BREEDING/NO MOTE LITTERS/ NO MORE PITBULLS
This will HIT ALL OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS A CROSSPOST!!!!!!!!!!!
We will be keeping an eye on this one.......


Take a look at the website set up for the State mandatory spay/neuter
bill,
The "California Healthy Pets Act"

http://www.cahealthypets.com/

More information will be put up there soon when the bill is introduced,
but
this gives an idea of their approach. See Diane McCormack's post below
with
information on CACDA. We know they are in support of the bill and may
be
actively working on developing it. CACDA President is Marcia Meyeda
(Director, LA County Animal Services) so we expect it will be similar
to the
LA County law. The legislative committee includes some familar
characters:

<<Legislative Committee:
Glenn Howell
Pat Claerbout
Jon Cicirelli
Henry Brzezinski
David Diliberto
Marcia Mayeda
>>

Keep in mind that when bills are introduced in California it usually
takes
some time before they are assigned to a committee and a hearing is set.
We
are going to have to develop strategy and soundly defeat this
one.............

CALIFORNIA 2007 bills still have three more weeks until the February 23
deadline for new bills, and nothing new involving owned animals was
introduced last week. However, California Animal Control Directors
Association board member, Jon Cicirelli, Deputy Director of San Jose
Animal
Care and Services attended meetings last week where he told attendees
to
expect a state mandatory spay/neuter bill with financing by Gary K.
Michelson, M.D. and this is the reason for stalling local measures in
CACDA
board members' locations.

I just pulled up the web page and this is what it says about the CACDA
--- A nonprofit organization, formed in 1976, that represents animal
care
and control professionals and agencies in California. CACDA is
supported by
its membership, which is composed of animal care and control
professionals,
as well as its respective agencies throughout the state.

Mission: California Animal Control Directors' Association is dedicated
to
providing leadership, training, and development, support and advocacy
to
animal care and control agencies.

Some of CACDA's activities include:

* Providing expert guidance to more than 500 incorporated cities and 58
counties in California which depend upon animal care and control
services to
ensure public safety and humane animal care in their communities.
* Advising lawmakers regarding proposed changes to animal control laws
and
practices, especially as they relate to public safety, financial
impact,
animal welfare and community service.
* Serving as a liaison with similar professionals throughout the
country to
recognize and address trends and issues in the animal care and control
field.
* Promoting best practices.
* Sponsoring training and education to industry professionals and the
general public regarding animal welfare and animal control.
* Providing informational and assistance network services for
professionals
in the field.

This web site lists their members and even has an update button one can
hit
to get into the legislative web sites.

This has been in the works in Cali for some time now. I was discussing it on another board several months ago. Its the new BSL.

Yep it has been in the works a long time! Several boards have it posted but what is shocking is alot of folks are not even responding at all!
