Controversial Spay/Neuter Law
Robin Quillen, President of Ferrel Friends in Greene County, is mom to a lot of Greene County’s animals. She sees first-hand what can happen when animals are not spayed and neutered. “I have a dog down here that I picked up yesterday that was going to be euthanized last Friday. Big light blue eyes, beautiful animal, sweet,“ said Quillen. She says the county has way too many stray animals. Greene County Animal Control says it has picked up the most animals ever this year. Many of these animals end up in Quillen’s care. For that reason, she is working to pass a law mandating pet owners get their pets spayed or neutered. But, not everybody likes the idea.

Mandating additional expense to pet owners will increase the number of homeless pets due to not having the money so they drop them off and also could lead to an increase in price for vet services and the low cost spay/neuter is dangerous to pets, many have died during the procedure, proper testing before the procedure can cost up to $350 or more otherwise you take a risk of the pet not surviving.
This can and will increase the homeless pet problem not decrease it.
This isn’t about taking away freedoms…this is about the government having to step in and force people to do the right thing because they are either too stupid or too lazy to do it for themselves. Seatbelt law is a perfect example.
Now when they start sterilizing PEOPLE who are too stupid or unfit to have kids,or who can’t afford to support them…that would be taking away freedoms. It would be the smart thing to do,though. Pop out a baby and get government money for 18 years.
Awesome. another one of those pesky freedoms of choice taken away from me. I am so glad she thinks she knows whats best for me and my pet than I do. Maybe she should be the one that gets spayed.
When are people going to STOP exerting their will on everyone else thinking they know whats best for everyone and what choices we need to make. Most people do not get their pets shots much less get them fixed.
Again another person trying to take away the peoples choices and freedoms. I hope they are not dumb enough to pass this.
