Dog Legislation

I wonder how much thought has been given in supporting the dog legislation to require mandatory spaying and neutering of dogs by four months of age. I personally do not like the idea of more government control over decisions that should be reached by an individual. I am not against spaying and neutering. In fact over the past twenty-two years I have opted to have my females spayed, did not own any males during that time. The argument seems to revolve around the over-flowing animal shelters in our nation. I do not agree that mandatory spaying and neutering of dogs will resolve this problem. People always find ways to circumvent the law. Our states will never have the local personnel to enforce mandatory spaying and neutering in every household anyway, especially in hard economic times like we are experiencing now.
