A new law has been passed for Clark County Nevada. This new law will require that all dogs & cats be spayed/neutered by 4 months of age or face $1,000 fine & jail time.
Commissioners adopt pet sterilization rule
They say this will cut down on illegal back yard breeders & cut down the amount of animals entering the shelters.
I see their point a little, it may cut down on accidental pups or kittens. I agree with others that 4 months is very young to have your pet spayed/neutered.
They say you can apply to get a breeders permit for $25. The only problem is your pet MUST have been in shows.
I also think that the illegal backyard breeders are NOT going to follow the rule. Most of those don’t even follow the current laws.
I can also see where some people may be concerned with the cost of the spay/neuter. I figure that Clark County should foot the bill. At least give discounts that everyone can afford.
How much will it cost to enforce this new law?
Will they soon be having people get fixed so the county doesn’t have to foot the bill of low income residents?
ADDED Info Links - I was sent a link to a post about Low Cost Spay & Neuter in Las Vegas (Clark County)
