Totally agree with that bill! I hate when government gets involved where it shouldn't. I'm totally opposed to mandatory spay/neuter laws.

Interesting site...wonder about their "ladder" though. Do they really feel that anti-cruelty laws are a compromise and another step towards the end of pet ownership??

I think a lot of these 'dog owner rights' organizations have some pretty scary agendas that basically amount to 'we want a world in which you can do anything you want to your animals, since they are your property'. So you gotta be careful who you support, and make sure they are in line with your beliefs. I haven't really found any org that is right in line with my own beliefs, so I try to keep my eyes on new bills and work to support the ones I approve of, and fight the ones I do not, as opposed to sending money in to an org and hoping the represent me the way I'd want to be represented.

I totally agree with you...on some other forums that I'm on people have been posting a lot of sites/articles/etc that support this type of thinking. I gotta say it freaks me out. There was on article posted recently that ticked me off, if I find it I'll post it...was all about changing our language when it comes to pets....that we should stop saying "adopt" and "foster" because that should be reserved for humans. LOL sorry not going to stop saying that I foster dogs...I think they want people to use "temporary housing" or something LOL...uhhh no.
