Animal_Control

Animal Control Should the government inact laws to require its citizens to spay and neuter their pets' A question of governmental responsibility Due to the fact that there are so many stray cats and dogs in our society, resulting in overcrowded animal shelters, the government should enforce a law that requires its citizens to spay and neuter their pets. According to the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (2003), “municipalities can be part of the solution to this problem by implementing and enforcing bylaws that encourage and reward responsible pet owners who licence, permanently identify and neuter their pets.” There are several advantages of requiring citizens to spay and neuter their pets. If the government were to enforce this law, we would benefit from financial savings, a decrease in the population of strays and overcrowded shelters (less homeless animals), and a more appealing picture of society. If pet owners were required to spay and neuter their pets, our society would benefit financially. A lesser need for animal control, sheltering, and eutahanizing would cut costs drastically. The licensing of births and fines from unibideing citizens would result in a monetary income which could be reinvested into the program.
