If you live in the Las Vegas area and are an animal lover, there is a meeting you should attend. I had put up a post about it on my other blog. The Clark County Animal Advisory Committee is having a public meeting. The time and address can be found at the other post, but the item up for discussion boils down to requiring Pet Stores and private breeders to sterilize any cat or dog before being able to sell the animal. All pets will also need to be chipped prior to sale. This would go a long way to reducing the population of unwanted animals in our city. You can get directions here.
Please help get the word out and show much Las Vegans value and love their animals. -Charles

Hi Charles, I can understand the chip, but ALL animals being sterlized? I can understand pet stores and shelters, but ALL breeders? Perhaps a special permit by certain breeders maybe?
Unless the person buying the pup for breeding purposes is a licensed and approved breeder, the animal must be sterlized. -Charles
Wow, so the average citizen can not breed a dog unless they get a license.
That really makes sense then, too many people are being careless with their animals anymore and it is a shame. At least I keep my kitties indoors at all times sterile or not. Some folks let theirs run wild and keep having litter after litter and don't care.
I hope there is a Veterinarian at the meeting to properly inform and educate the decision makers about the medical pros and cons of sterilizing before selling - which I assume would be puppies and kittens as young as 8 weeks old.
