Extra money could be used to help spay/neuter shelter animals, educate people, etc..

Yeh, and then when they realize who is over their local pet limit (usually 2-3) they can come and seize my dogs. No thanks.
I also do not think punishing responsible owners is fair. Should I have to spend hundreds of dollars a year for licensing because some people are either to uncaring or to stupid to manage their animals?
How about enforcing leash laws that will actually punish the irresponsible, instead of punishing people like me? Charge large fines to people who insist on letting their dogs roam the streets, which will drastically cut the number of unwanted litters and dog attacks. It would not be popular, people would get angry, but it WORKS.
I would definately support LOW COST S/N as well. That WORKS.
They do this in some places and it does not work. The responsible, caring owners comply. But why do people think the thugs and the uncaring owners will trot right in to comply? The thugs don't care if they are within the law, and the uncaring do not care if they have their animals.
Look at the MESS in LA county. Make breeding almost impossible and then wonder why they have sickly Mexican puppies being smuggled in. WELL, DUH!!! I know breeders there that live in FEAR of their dogs being seized! They are in hiding with their dogs as if they are common criminals! IS THAT FAIR?

Because people will not license their animals. Actually there is only a small percentage of dog / cat owners who license their pets every year. And the average person is not going to pay $50.00 + per year to liense a pet for one year.
When they raised our license fees to $30.00 per year I stopped licensing my dogs. Why I refuse to pay that amount of money for a city license when I can use that money for something more productive like vet bills or pet food.
A good solution to spay / neuter is very low cost and free programs. I know years ago there was an organization who gave out spay / neuter vouchers. They had a list of vets that were in the program. They would spay your pet for free and bill the organization.

Where I live the price of annual shots has been increased by $10.00.That $10.00 is to go into a special fund to pay for spay/neutering for low-income people.
I have no problem with this.But I have a major problem with those people who STILL refuse to alter their pets and allow them to run free.I'm greatly upset that when these people go to rescue their animals from the pound they are'nt handed a huge fine.

That is a really good idea. The problem is, then people wouldn't even bother licensing their intact dogs. Plus, when you go to the licence place, you don't have to have your dog with you. So you could just say your animal was altered. I don't know how to get people to neuter their pets....

some cities do this BUT the people who arent going to spay or neuter arent going to licence their animal anyhow... and if it gets lost they just go and get another "free" pet out of the newspaper...
its unfortunate that alot of dumb people are making alot of animals suffer for their ignorance...
