Stop These Murderers


These two fine beasts will likely have puppies in early December, if their posture gives any indication. Their goal, of course, was to bring unneeded puppies into the world, thereby displacing and sending to death a number of less attractive pups at animal shelters.

It's due to heartless killers like these that the city of Berkeley, CA, has in place a forced spay/neuter ordinance, extending beyond the more limited state law.

In California, any unclaimed pooch picked up by animal control has its plumbing decommissioned before it is offered for adoption. Sensible enough. In Berkeley, however, they force surgery on any animal picked up, whether it already has an owner or not. What this means: if you have a dog that you'd like to let sire, or just keep his testicles for personal reasons, you'd better not let Berkeley's animal control get a hold of him.

The female in this picture had just such a run-in, and it was only due to a quick bit of treachery that she escaped intact.

Thank goodness the left knows what's best for us, and has the fortitude to legislate it.
