PETA Fights AKC: Round 2


Ding Ding!

In November a California state wide sterilization bill barely passed and is now on its way to Senate. This bill would mean owners must spay or neuter thier dogs and cats by the time they are 4 months old, or pay a $500 fine.

PETA's Side: This would reduce the thousands of animals in shelters.

AKC's Side: This bill would do little to stop "backyard breeders" ( think of them as the black market on animals). Plus, they've threatened to pull thier Annual Dog Show from California and with them, all that publicity, tourism and money California gets from this internationally televised event. Ouch!
