Mandatory Spay Neuter

Mandatory Spay/Neuter (MSN) - The Agenda:

For more information on the disaster that is Mandatory Spay/Neuter (MSN) and the obvious tragedy that it will bring about for all domestic pets visit saveourdogs. You won't like California's plans for the future of the domestic pet. We just have to hope that our legislators do not take the same appallingly ill-considered, or maybe underhanded tactics in NZ.

UPDATE: Nanaia Mahuta and her mates in the Labour Government have decided to sneak their version of MSN in under urgency, once again using our Pit Bulldogs as scape-goats. So far it only applies to the so-called 'dangerous' dogs who will be re-classified as 'menacing' to achieve their ends. Read the wording of the proposed changes carefully. Once you are on the government website go to Publications and research > Research Publications > Bills Digest > Digest No. 1581

You Are My Sunshine

This is Jake TDI.

Jake worked for the first eight years of his life in a variety of physical and mental rehabilitation facilities assisting medical staff as needed. Sometimes, Jake would roll a ball with his nose toward a patient recovering from a stroke and the patient would attempt to kick it back. Other times, Jake would quietly lie next to a man in a coma while staff placed the man's hand on Jake's very soft fur and machines measured brain activity and cognitive responses. He visited in nursing homes and sang along with residents, producing some of his best vocals nearly in tune with “You are my sunshine” and he was a companion to an autistic boy for a while.

Neither of Jake's parents are registered with AKC or any other registry. Under California AB1634 his parents would have been sterilized at four months of age and Jake would never have been born. His incredible gift of providing physical and emotional therapy to patients in need of that specific treatment would have been lost, and that would have been a tragedy.
