Where is the enforcement for humane conditions for all the puppymills we know exist all over the state? Where is the enforcement of dog licensing? We can hope this law too will suffer from lack of interest in enforcement but we cannot count on that. I foresee a police state for dog owners. I also have had personal experience with this 4-month spay which makes me believe it has the potential to be completely unhealthy for some animals: One of my own puppies was spayed earlier than the 6-month recommended age now and she developed long, spindly legs compared to her 2 littermates. She also shortly afterwards suffered a hind leg fracture, I am sure due to this abnormal bone development caused by the early spay. She also is reported to be showing dog aggression which the other pups haven't shown at all. I will NEVER have any of my dogs spayed at this age again. I think early spay/neuter might have application at shelters and in rescue but never for pet owners who have a choice. Keep speaking out. There is a hearing tomorrow (May 16th): Don't forget to fax or call the committee members.

Few people leave me unable to comment...<BR/><BR/>and finally I'd love it if all farmers would be protected by a "Right to Farm".
