No more Breeding of cats or dogs in California, and coming to a state near you!!?

Question

Unfortunately AB 1634 has passed through the Business and Professions Committee on a vote of 8 to 2. As you know, this legislation if passed will make it almost impossible to breed quality dogs and cats in California and effectively eliminate shows and competitions in our state. It will also have a devastating effect on working and service animals.
I will forward information as it becomes available. It is likely
that to have any chance to defeat this legislation we will have to put aside any differences and also to commit not only time but also financially to help defeat this flawed piece of legislation. AB 1634 has tremendous backing by the Animal Rights movement and they have a tremendous amount of funds (hundreds of millions) to help push things through.
Now that this has passed in ca Peta will be bring this to a state near you, they don't want one person to own a pet, they see it as slavery, they are not a pro pet they are anti pet, glad you donated !!

we were in sacramento and they already voted on it and it passed 8 to 2, and if this is not a PETA sponsored bill why did they bus in several hunderd people this morning, their were judges there, three akc reps and tons of people aginst this, but not as many as peta bused in, so many of you say this can't happen but it did! and they are taking this nationaly, let me ask you all this, if we spay all cats and dogs today where do the kittens and puppies come from tomorrow? and puppy mills are not affected by this bill, they breed illegaly now and will continue to do so, and the only way to get the breeder permit is to show by four months of age the dog or cat is be showen, but guess what you can't enter a show entil your dog is 6mos. of age, there is no way to really obtain the premit, this was no mistake, it was written this way, PETA believes pet ownership is slavery and they want no pets to be owened, ie they want all pets gone! Read before you fall for their candy coated words and ads

do really think this will stop the over pet population? go to a shelter and see how many of the dogs there are purebred, the are mixes that are left to run the streets and breed, left there by unetical breeders, as breeders we police our own, we have rescues set up and pick up our unwanted dogs! and the puppy mills that already breed for a profit will continue to do so, the only breeder this will put out of business are the ones that already abide by the laws! another useless law that is not going to do what is was intended to do. how can you own and love pets and support a bill and group that elimenates them? and they picked ca to start in becaue it is a precedent setting state, now we have embraced this it will be easier to pass in other states. and how about all the people this is putting out of work? and I don't mean the breeders.

Answer 1

I don't support PETA and never will.

Answer 2

California Healthy Pets Act (AB1634) introduced by Assembly Member Lloyd Levine (D-Van Nuys) would require all dogs and cats in the state to be spayed or neutered by 4 months of age. Exceptions to this regulation would be for working police dogs, service dogs, dogs/cats registered with a recognized kennel club, or a dog/cat that has medical issues which a veterinarian states would compromise the animals life. The bill claims this would help solve California’s purported pet “overpopulation” problems and help to reduce the number of animal bites, particularly dog bites. Information on the Act’s website states that almost 1 million unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats enter the California shelters each year. Before making any conclusions on the Act, it is important to ascertain all the information and data put forth and understand what the actual situation is.

Data from the California Department of Health Services, Veterinary Public Health (VPH) section indicates a very different scenario. The number of dogs and cats entering the system has been declining since 1973. For discussion, just the intake of dogs coming into the shelter will be evaluated. (Figure1). While one of the major problems is a lack of compliance by the counties in reporting data to VPH, particularly since 2000, a reporting that is a state mandate, the overall trend is a decline in the intakes to the shelter.

LOOKS like it does not cover EVERY single animal. Seems to be just for non registered, non-showing, non-working dogs.

Answer 3

The fact of the matter is that 400,000 animals a year are euthanized in shelters in California because there are not enough homes for all of them. That's more than 1,000 animals a day. Try being the shelter worker who gets to do that job.

The law does not ban breeding - it makes responsible breeders get a license to operate a breeding facility. they have come up with a lot of reasons for not wanting to do it, but have not suggested anything that will stop the relentless euthanasia rate. It is similar to a law passed in LA County a couple years ago.

The law has nothing to do with PETA. I don't support PETA in any way shape or form.

Answer 4

They vote today and I know that AKC reps will be at the hearing. I was at a dog show last weekend and many breeders said if it does pass they will go underground. This bill is just wrong. The sad thing is it's going to hurt the responsible breeders not the puppy mills and pet stores that sell puppy mill pups.

Answer 5

I believe you about peta... I volunteer at an exotic rescue and we are open to the public as a way to pay for animal upkeep. Every time I place a flier about our rescue at the local pet supply store, it is taken down the same day by "the peta people." Evidently, they do not care that these are rescued animals, they only care that we should not let people see them.

I work in dog rescue, and I know banning is not the answer; licensing reputable breeders and encouraging spay/neuter is.

Answer 6

Basically,it comes down to this:

Humane societies/Shelters: Wah WAH WAH! We have to kill animals! We're SO SAD about this,we'll go euthanise a dozen more today,instead of getting off our asses and fundraising like crazy so we don't have to. Wah wah wah.

Breeders: We have no reason to fear our pets going into shelters because of contracts/jesus/zeus/miracles.

Morons who shouldn't own animals: Well I gots me a purty dog and my neighbor has a purty dog and they had them some purty puppies 'n we gave them all away in the paper.

-----

In all basic terms,animals are dying ridiculously because humans are a bunch of disgusting,moronic,-stupid- creatures. I have always been a very strong believer in only breeders should be allowed to breed animals-pure blood lines and the like. You will STILL have mutts out there,you always will! But breeders usually take care of their animals a hell of a lot better than most shelters I've seen,and most idiots like the third guy in the example. Why?

Because of the money.

Humans have no respect for the rest of the animal kingdom. We're all but a disease to them. We spread,infect,destroy,and move on. Sad,but true. It'd be nice if we stopped.

Answer 7

I think it's a wonderful piece of legislature, and long overdue! It will restrict the number of backyard breeders, puppy mills, and unwanted ("oopsie") litters. I'd welcome that in my state!
Sounds to me like they are just toughening up on the breeders, as well. Good. There are many reputable breeders out there that deserve to practice their "trade". However, for every good breeder, there are dozens of bad examples. I think this legislature could open the doors to licensing of breeders and more health/safety restrictions in the field. Honest, reputable breeders should have no problem with this. Those that do are probably worried that their shady practices will not live up to code and be shut down. As I said before ... long overdue!

Answer 8

Sorry your fashionable cat is lacking. it incredibly is conceivable that raccoons might have attacked the kitten questioning it grew to become into on my own and the mummy cat grew to become into then attacked attempting to shelter it. If somebody interior the community got here across the cat and kitten they might have desperate to undertake it or to take it to the closest animal shelter, if the cat and/or kitten grew to become into not donning a collar or id chip. you may inquire at some kennels and positioned out fliers with a reward to boot. If none of those issues handed off, Eloise might get away if she is being held close by and are available returned as quickly as she does and that i basically desire that she comes returned to you. interior the destiny once you may desire to bypass away abode longer than one evening, in case you have any variety of enjoyed ones puppy you want to maintain, please positioned it right into a professional kennel or veterinary workplace the place the puppy would be fed, get carry of suited scientific care and interest and could be secure against the mercy of the climate and the whims of alternative animals and individuals finding for a unfastened puppy. that's my suggestion. ultimate needs.

Answer 9

I'm fine with the bill as I understand it, not as you've portrayed it here. There are too many pets out there in shelters and too many greedy people taking advantage or poor animals. Pets are not money makers.

Answer 10

thats impossible not to breed pets. What about the homeless animals getting scandoulous in the alley? What do they want to do.... wipe out the pet population? Also, many animals wouldnt have survived without the comfort of their homes and owners.

Answer 11

I was under the impression that this bill was not to stop the breeding of dogs and cats, but to stop the irresponsible breeding of dogs and cats. There will be fewer unwanted litters due to stiffer punishments. It sounds like a step in the right direction to me.
