[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wish the southern states would legislate this problem away or even incentivize it.  
If we all donated money so that gets in the south could pay you $50 cash on the barrel for slaying/neutering your pet, how much of an impact would that make?  $100? $1000?
What about requiring all dogs to be chipped, and if your dog is found wandering around as a stray, you get a fine of $100?  $200?  It’s just ridiculous that people who are responsible pet owners are guilted into taking dogs where the problem is created by a set of irresponsible owners.  Why can’t we just carrot and stick people into being more responsible?

Giving someone $50 to spay or neuter their pet is probably not going to work. Even low cost sterilization is a few hundred for a small dog (last dog I spayed was a small shih tzu and at a private clinic it cost me $750). I think most irresponsible pet owners who aren’t fixing their pets are doing it is because they don’t have the money to do so or think they will breed the animal in the future. The reality is the states should be stricter about licensing animals. The state should require heavy yearly licensing fees on unaltered pets to deter these owners but there’s probably not enough money to ensure compliance. [/quote]
It’s really just a pit bull problem at this point. About 80% of non-pit bull dogs are spayed/neutered; only about 20% of pit bulls are spayed and neutered. [/quote]
