CALNRA: NRA Opposes Mandatory Pet Spay/Nueter
8:30 PM, 05/01/2007
Issue: MANDATORY PET SPAY/NUETER (Levine)
Description: This bill would prohibit any person from owning or possessing any cat or dog over the age of 4 months that has not been spayed or neutered, unless that person possesses an intact permit, as defined.
The bill would establish an intact permit fee in an amount to be determined by a local jurisdiction, and would require the revenue from these fees to be used for the administration of the local jurisdiction's permit program.
The bill would become operative on April 1, 2008.
Latest Info: 05/01/2007 - NRA opposes AB 1634 as amended by the Business and Professions Committee on April 24th. AB 1634 will next appear before the Assembly Appropriations Committee, date unknown at this time. Please contact the Assembly Appropriations Committee members and urge a NO vote on AB 1634.
Bill author Assemblymember Levine is also the author of AB 334, MANDATORY LOSS/THEFT REPORTING.
In its current form, AB 1634 proposes to seriously restrict the property rights of responsible hunting dog breeders and owners while imposing untold and unjust punitive costs upon their activities. If adopted, the provisions of AB 1634 would have a profound negative economic impact on both the state and local economies in California.
AB1634 is poorly conceived and, as written, this legislation presents a "ONE-SIZE FITS ALL" early-age sterilization approach with little thought regarding the health and behavior considerations of early spay/neuter. More information is available at the American Kennel Club (AKC) and ab1634.com.
Action needed: Send a ONE-CLICK Email to the ASSEMBLY APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE against MANDATORY PET SPAY/NUETER (AB 1634)
