		<description>If you read the link to original reports in this blog, you will find that I am all for spay/neuter, and have been since my teens.  I&#039;ve been on the board of one of the first no-kill shelters in the nation for over 10 years as I believe I&#039;ve mentioned in text as well as in the About area. 

Rather than pursue your comment that leaps to dogs and cats running loose and breeding all over the place, I would ask you to take more than a few seconds when forming an opinion.  That&#039;s my rationale for reporting the news.  Not to give you too much, but hopefully enough, of what I think so you know my perspective, but more importantly to relate the available information and facts so you can see what&#039;s out there, read the positions, and make up your mind without knee-jerk reactions or emotional snap judgments. 

I think I was abundantly transparent regarding my opinion on Mandatory Spay Neuter, which I am against given the fact that after having cost cities btw $8-18 Million it has failed in its purpose in cities across the US and caused major increases, not any decrease, in kill rates, is unenforceable, has lowered compliance in licensing requirements, created health hazards like rabies, doesn&#039;t reduce bite stats, and the list goes on.  If packs of wild dogs were roaming the streets and wrecking havoc with local populations, I guess I&#039;d have to revisit my position.

Groups like the ASPCA and HSUS do a lot of good work.  That is not the case in this area of concern given the facts, and people should be made aware of that.</description>

		<description>So, what is your position on these things? Is the HSUS a bunch of monsters? Why shouldn&#039;t people who own dogs simply as pets spay or neuter them. Why not just let the animals run loose and breed? Get a grip. Look outside your yuppie window and see the world.</description>
