It’s illegal to try to give away puppies or kittens
I suppose all dogs and cats must be fixed in this town.

When we have no more kittens . I guess they’ll say now the car a are est. Like the dinosaurs and our great great grand childen can look at pictures if them and say what were they like. And see there bones in museums. What fun? And askedvwhat happenedvto them but all 5he dumbie in place killingbrge m to make room and spaying nuietering them will say dah . And well yeah thats how it happens. Som e owls estistic and a wolf. How did they get.
That way stupid! Your not God! And fare from it. You didn’t greet any of these animals God did an d they belong to Him. Yeah God! I’ll hate the day that there be no more puppies or kitten a God knows so will you . There all unique. And Gods there creator jyst as he is your and mine. Just b ecause you can have a law passed g ere on earth saying it’s ok. Doesn’t make it right in God’s eyes.
One day it will be us. Humane. Where would we be with out our fury friends . Mayb e those ferral cats are no maybe there Gods too. But maybe all thats left when well meanung stupid humans get done saving them .
NO ! IT’s not Humane. At all. It’s sick! Very sick! And truly sad very ! very sad! God help ys the day there no mire it be a very sad sad day. You think it over studid.
You people complaining about this law are the idiots. SPAY/NEUTER YOUR pets! One “unaltered” female cat can produce 180,000 offspring in her lifetime. What kid of life is that for any supposed “loved” animal? If you love your animals, you spay and neuter them, period.
What kind of Cat do you have that can have 180,000 babies. Damn!!!!!!!!!!
180.000 a cat . Doubt it.
They probably die before they had that many . That be 900 kittens a year fir 20 yrs. Ferral they say don’t live that long. I fon t want them to become estitied. Like no more kittens cats or dogs and puppies ever. And that can happen. What is you kill 5he last Dog the last male . Or last female cat or dog or make cat or dog. it hapoens they euthize millions if cs ts and dog and nuieted and spayed the rest . Maybe it won’t happen in your life or my like . I heard they euthize black cats at the humane society because they are black and first to go. Be cause they say no one wants them. Sad. Well , Hitler tried it with the jews. His had His way though.
I heard of 1 being euthized because it didnt lije to be in a cage. Thats what they told the owner. Yes that took poor get kitty to a apsoa . To be rehomed. No kill shelter . They rid the owner that’s why the euthized get cat. How many more for same dumb reason . Would you like to be in a cage. I soupy it. Why would a cat or dog.
The humane societies get donations of car good dog food Cat litter and ect. They don’t feed it to these cat that have there . they give it away to the public . Which is ok. To some existent . But to say they have to buy food to feed them and can my keep them up. Because they have to buy food. They get it given to them accepting these donations . and give it away . IT Crap. Not the food ir cat litter. They got there own kind. Well thats crap! Truth needs to be told . Tell it. Public needs to know the truth. There lying to us. Killingbtheb poor cats and dogs . there suppised to protect.
If you kill the last one how will you fix that. Nuietered the last one. How will you fix it. You can’t ! well there are eating animal. There in museums. Well there bones are.
One day they’ll be cats and dogs will be endanger animals I think it’s coming Fast. That fluffy furry babie kitten. The orange tabby the multi colored calico . the black cat black kitten. Really the place thatbeuthize these cats and dogs are just as ir reasonable as you say the owners are that let there pets have babie kittens and puppies . Wake I p and small the coffee.
The places that euthized these cats and dogs puppies yes you do. And kittens, yes you do. Are correcting my spelling typing error. YOU ARE JUST AS IRRESPONDSABLE AS YOU SAY PET OWNER ARE THAT DON’T SPAYED AND NEITERED YOUR PET . YOU KILLING THEM LEFT ANDVRIGHT I SEEN THE NUMBERS YOU PUT THEM UP ON THE INTERNET THIS M ANY WAS EUTHANIZED THIS WEEK IN LARGE NUMBERS. BILLIONS KILLED . REALLY KILLEDV EUTHIZED IS A CONSCIENCE EASING FANCY WORD FOR KILLING . FOR MURDERED . And not by some other animal for food or by someone hunting for food . But by so called respondsank e animal protection agenties claiming to live and protect them . And fooling people thinking they little or puppy can find a home threw you people . then tell them they cant rehineb there own pets . Gid help you .
Animal well Agencies Claiming to love animals. And have there best interested at heart. Looking them by the millions everyday. Our puppies and kittens and dogs and cats. One day there will be no more kittens and puppies . Period we won’t have them for our children and grandchildren to see . Only maybe in a museum. Like Dinosaurs.! Can’t pet, won’t purr. wont meow .
How can you think this law is stupid. Why have kittens if you intend to hope someone can take of it? Would you have kids if you intended to put them up for adoption? If you do get a pet and dont want any more then take the neccessary steps to make sure that doesnt happen. As for the guy you said ‘would you cut off your balls’ erm… What do men do when they dont wona have kids?
Fucking retard.
if no one is allowed to breed pets who mostly get cared for properly then in a few years you wont have to worry about your pounds being full there will be no more dogs and cats to own all you amimal lib people just enjoy being in power and control i breed some pets i look after them and ensure they get good homes so stop trying to controll peoples rights to enjoy pets
Agree.
Spaying or Neutering animals does not save lives!
Hence, taking away the reproductive system of a living creature only reduces the population more. They have no life to create. Its so funny how people don’t see that these laws are made to hinder us. In China, there is a one child policy. First, it started by having animals fixed. Next, it’s YOUR ovaries and testicles they are taken away. A cat or dog is no different than you and I. Don’t allow the excuse of “overpopulation” to take our humanity away.
Global Warming is now blamed on overpopulation. So, let’s start by every one here going under the knife. People, we have to have the earth!!!!! Really?… I don’t think so.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Over population of uncontrolled breeding of animals results in overpopulated animal shelters, who in turn run out of resources to feed and care forthese animals, hence, the animals are uthinized. Maybe they should control people with yourmind frame from populating, hence, rid the gene pool of stupidity.
I hear too that they euthize them . Then sell the dead animals , cats and dogs puppies and kittens to dog and cat food companies for pet food. what’s stopping them from this ? what law is there to prevent or stop this . They sell the dead euthized dogs and cats to pay food companies. I bet there is more truth to it then not.
The humane societies get donations of car good dog food Cat litter and ect. They don’t feed it to these cat that have there . they give it away to the public, yes they do. . Which is ok. Theres is a need. To some existent . But to say they have to buy food to feed them and can’t keep them feed . Because they have to buy food. They get it given to them they accepting these donations and give it away .
IT’s Crap.
They don’t use the cat and dog food or cat litter that donated to them by people who love the animals and want to help them .. they say they got there own kind. Well thats crap! Truth needs to be told . Tell it. Public needs to know the truth. There lying to us. Killing the poor cats and dogs . there supposed to protect.
I agree with you .We are allowing it to come in to our lives slowly it is creeping in on us . like in China this is just the start. They’ll say no. Because 1 there eyes are closed and there minds , They don’t see it coming . Then when it’s here . It’s slowly. Even Hitler want to control who should be and not be as in the Jews . I heard it said history repetes it’s self. It could happen as you said. Pass a law like that and well as you said . more then that too. It’s cats and dogs now but where will it stop? Whose got the controls? These are Gods creature Same as we are. I wouldnt want what they have goung on in China. Or a Hitler thing again. God help us.
There Playing God.
Maybe like I read about the Holder thing and that war . Little did they know they were fighting against God His self it said. Who made these creature you me no the car the dog du dnt make his self God created all living creatures . Then man and woman . Thery out but really they belong to God they belong to Him. yes we need to taj e csre of them and we fail often nit with just cats and dogs . They are Gods creatures . This I have heard God has the last say in everything.
While I can see that some of you have the right intentions, this is really the wrong medicine for the ailment.
Firstly an animal that’s not in the shelter is an animal that’s not taking up cage space which is already in high demand. If everybody can be involved in the process of finding these animals good homes, it makes things easier on everybody.
More importantly this law creates situations where it’s expensive and inconvenient to get rid of unwanted animals legally, so why not just simply abandon them so they can roam around freely interbreeding and creating feral cat colonies? It’s not like you’re likely to be traced back and caught.
Most people who want to keep a pet get it spayed or neutered anyway to reduce personal liability of creating more pets in other people’s yards. So all you’re doing is keeping the animal out of the hands of somebody who’s likely have the means by which to spay or neuter it, by putting the onus on a person who probably doesn’t, possibly leading to the reverse of the desired effect.
@ Mike D specifically, I don’t follow your logic at all. Paying money to receive an animal creates no logical incentive to spay or neuter animals. Perhaps you’re more likely to be able to do so if you can come up with the cash but one doesn’t directly follow the other.
In fact, I think it again creates the opposite effect, since paying that sort of money is typically justified by buying pedigrees that’re valuable to breed and sell off. This reduces the pool of people who might consider adopting a mutt by creating an alternative that’s largely considered to be preferable. If this law only applied to pedigrees, it might be construed to make sense as an incentive to prevent breeders from overbreeding themselves but instead these people are specifically exempted…
This law is utter nonsense in my book.
If people spay or nueter theeir pets they are going to keep, they would not have animals that theywould have to spay or nueter beforethey can get rid of them. If you really LOOK at YOUR logic, YOU are part of the problem.
get a life thats the stupidest law ever no giving animals away ha if that the case people should be filing in jail
i aggree ashley they want to save those percious pups kittens and more you are in a idiot i just cant imagnig animals dieing
If this is the case then spaying and neutering should be free!!!
Many humane societies DO offer it. Ifyou understood the problem you would know that. (throw another one into the idiot pool)
wtf r the people who made this law thinking?!?! and buy the way with the fixing thing i only have on question 4 all of you who have fixed ur animals… WOULD YOU CUT UR BALLS OFF?!?
Thousands of animals die in shelters every day because people like you fail to acknowledge the problem of pet overpopulation. Please educate yourself on the benefits of spaying ad neutering. Your dog/cat will be fine without his balls. You’re the one projecting your feelings onto the animal.
Did you people even read the paragraph… or the comments? Unaltered.
This is so stupid. I took in a stray mother cat with kittens with the intention that when the kittens get old enough I would find homes for or give to the no kill shelter. The reason I went ahead and took on the mother cat was so she would not get pregnant again before I got her. Now I find out I can not go to Walmart or any other public place and I have no choice but to give them to a shelter. The one no kill shelter in my area said they could not take them, they did not give me a reason why. Now I will have to try and advitise more on the internet which the problem with that is the people who may want the kittens may not live in my area. Or I will have to try and find a no kill shelter outside my area and I will have to drive further if I can find one to take them. Or I can take them to the pound and worry that they could be killed. Thanks to this stupid law.
Thanks to the stupid law? I’m sorry that the “stupid law” makes it inconvenient for you to spread unaltered animals across your city to reproduce and create MORE animals that eventually WILL end up in a shelter anyway!!! Please try to think about the long term consequences of your actions!!!!!! More animals will die in the end for your convenience.
This is the stupidest law I have seen in along time. So I can not give kittens or puppies away in a public place (Wal-Mart parking lot.) So the alternative is just dropping them off on the side of the road. Sorry pet lovers it is your law.
How is dropping them off at the side of the road your only alternative?? WHY DO YOU HAVE UNALTERED ANIMALS IN THE FIRST PLACE? Solution: DON’T HAVE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. The law is to encourage people to have their animals fixed. Unaltered animals mean that thousands more will die in shelters. This is our fault- we have to do something to fix it. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
I am with you Ashley. We have two rescue animals, that are spay and nuetered. Even though our cat never goes outside ( another pet peve of mine). If people would take the time to really understand the problem, less animals would suffer. Keep up the good fight Ashley. The world needs more people like you.
Maybe t he birds are over populated too. And yes they do say humane are too. That will b e next. We dream oh USA never will that happen . It might. Lots of things going to happen . I think.pwts do know and feel you. May not because you can’t feel for your cats . They are living creatures . You’d like desided it’s a sin for a c at I r dog to gave a kitten. Yeah the shelters are o ver populated. A lady told me she couldn’t get a kitten for the shelter becaus a her cat got ran over. Well , if all the shelters are going to do is euthized KILL them. I say then let the last have a kitten. This is probably why they are over filled. They refuse to adopt them out. But the shelters going to kill them .
Maybe they shouldn’t accept so many that they have to be over crowded and be euthized. . 20 cages 20 cats . 10 cages 10 cats . 7 days is not long enough to find cats homes either.
Just like the other animal . They give the country side and the woods farms homes of these animals up to the big business .for parking lots and Wal-Mart’s. And McD’s . Isn’t it funny . Maybe some of these cats were livi by there before they built the walmart.
Oh, it says public place, I guess my house isn’t public so its ok, just no giving kitties away at the supermarket!!!!
Well, Im a lawbreaker, I got a kitty from the neighbor, and it aint fixed…………come arrest me you idiots.
Animals die in shelters because of people like you.
They die because they kill them .And they give 1 week or less to find a home . Lat him rehom e home his kittens . There nit in your shelters then gettibg killed.
We just need to have everyone like you take an IQ test and uthanize them for being idiots
wow. im surprised you all were immediately mad about this. its exactly how Mike D says.. if youre going to “give away” an animal then it should have to be fixed. so many animals are dying EVERY DAY because no one adopts them when they are picked up by animal shelters or taken to the pound. its horrible! if people would fix their animals in the first place, freaking just pay like 60 dollars it would save a lot of animal lives and a lot of grief. you think the people in the shelters LIKE injecting the animals that cant get homes? just fix your animals people it takes like 24 hours if they have to stay the night, and like 60 dollars. plus its cheaper when theyre younger. so fix them!

I have heard read there nit injected there put in gas chamber stuff full if other cats and dogs. You know fix the kittens but if they eb d up at a sg alter they most likely get euthized . Yeah it is that way. So they kill them either way. Maybe fixing the best because if you get kittens and give them away well though you say its ni life firBut a lived pet . What you life b e you have b een fixed you can’t go outside and you can’t ever get babie because someone desided 4 you . That your a pet . You stay in. If you don’t and if they go y o the shelter they kill them thats how they figure but to. Its not injecting them lady they don’t inject the little animal. They gas them . digs and cats all together stuff in there . Yeah well 1 of the internet pages 1 of the humans societies employees desided he’d tell how it is. . Live in the dream world. Well they are animals . God gave them insists to servive. they’d probably been no more along time ago. They probably think the can clone them and they wo t be insist .
The law isn’t to prevent you from giving away puppies or kittens. The key word here is ‘unaltered’. In other words, the animal must be fixed if you plan on giving it away.
The reason is, someone receiving an animal for free (instead of paying hundreds of dollars) has less incentive to pay to have them fixed and could more easily decide that they no longer want them, making them more likely to escape. (and if they do escape, the owner is less likely to search for them as diligently)
“Unaltered” animals can then breed in the wild, contributing to massive increase in population. That means many more animals than usual will have to be killed when they aren’t adopted from local animal shelters.
If you get the animal fixed before giving it away (even if the person you give it to agrees to pay for it) then the law doesn’t effect you. Sounds reasonable to me.
what the f*** this is so stupid…
Animal rights nuts are going to government bodies, mostly city councils, conning them into passing these laws. If it comes to your town, get a group of more sensible people to attend and speak out against the laws. This is how more idiotic animal rights laws get passed…they start small…then “own” you before you know it!
What is your problem, exactly? Why do “animal rights activists want to ‘own’ you”?? All they want is for fewer animals to die in shelters. Thousands of animals are put down every day because people like you are too stubborn to realize that you are causing those deaths. We need to start taking responsibility for pet overpopulation!
it is like breeding and selling humans for money
This is really a idiotic law existing in Sashta lake. It needs to be erased from the law book. who will bring this notice to the government
So my dog has a litter of puppies and i can give 1 to my next door neighbor crazy
this is realy crap i hate this what does the goverment want our animals to die it f*****
g stupid
What???? They want animals to LIVE you idiot. Spaying and neutering saves lives! Go learn something!!!
they were stating that its stupid because if there is over crowding in shelters they should give the dogs away rather then force people to pay.. but yes spaying and neutering does save lives of animals :]
