If You’re Not Living in a Wilderness, Then Fix Your D***ed Pet, Already

50. That is a good question.

Unfortunately, a great deal of the opposition to spay/neuter comes from a local group, an arm of the AKC, which refuses to get on board because they insist we are going to run out of animals! Much like the firearm advocates, they refuse to give up their "rights" to breed. To me, it's not about a "right", but about the advisability of doing it.

And yes, we do have organizations that are actively transporting dogs to other areas around the country. It's a very expensive process, but there are at least two groups in town that were formed for that purpose. We are grateful that there are areas who have the ability to take those dogs, and we are hoping one day to get to a point where we don't kill adoptable animals. But we are far from that point sadly.
