DALLAS, TEXAS PASSES SWEEPING MANDATORY SPAY / NEUTER LAW
Dallas has passed a broad new law that requires dogs and cats in the city be spayed or neutered, unless they are used for legal breeding or law enforcement. In doing so, Dallas joins Los Angeles and other cities across the country who are paving the way to a better future for our pets.
According to the Dallas Morning News, "Dallas Animal Shelter Commission Chairman Skip Trimble insisted that the city must move now to reduce the stray and feral animal population. 'It can only be done through sterilization,' he said. 'If we can't control the flow of water, we'll never stop mopping the floor.' The ordinance passed by an astounding 10-3 vote, and "the majority of council members hailed the changes to the animal ordinance as an important step toward reducing the tens of thousands of stray animals roaming city streets, and improving quality of life for pets."
