Warning: mktime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /hermes/bosnacweb08/bosnacweb08az/b29/ipw.wellbeyo/public_html/libraries/joomla/utilities/date.php on line 119 Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.

The legislature of the state of California is debating a measure to make the neutering of dogs mandatory. AB 1634 requires that all dogs be spayed or neutered. There are no exemptions. Not for young puppies, sick dogs, breeding stock, police dogs, service dogs, dogs visiting from out of state, no exceptions at all. Under this bill every dog (and cat) in the state must be spayed or neutered or the owner can be cited for any complaint regardless of the truth of the complaint. Recently the bill was amended, as expected. The only change was to gut section five, the section that withheld funds from shelters that did not report their statistics as already required by state law. This was the only section of the bill we supported. The Senate could vote on the bill as soon as tomorrow. What can you do to help? Contact your state senator immediately. If you do not then there is a good chance this insane bill will pass. You must visit, fax a letter, telephone, or email, but do it now. Your dogs are depending on you to do this for them. Equally important, tell your friends, co-workers, fellow club members, breed ethusiasts, and family members to contact their Senators, too. Send them to www.saveourdogs.net. The only thing that will stop this bill is your voice and that of thousands more like you telling the Legislature, "Keep your laws off my dog." Follow this link: www.saveourdogs.net
