Dallas' proposed ordinance
I got this in my inbox today:
The Dallas City Council plans to consider a mandatory spay and neuter ordinance as early as Wednesday, June 18. Sportsmen must take action now in order to prevent this draconian ordinance from being approved.
The proposed mandate is being sought by radical animal "rights" and anti-hunting organizations and is an affront to our hunting heritage and private property rights. With very limited exceptions, this measure requires every dog older than six months to be spayed or neutered. Owners hoping to breed their dogs at some point during their lives would be required to apply annually for an "intact" permit referred to as a "breeding permit" costing $500. Permits will not be issued for any dogs that are not of a pure breed recognized by a national breed registry such as the American Kennel Club.
