I know we have all heard about Kern County wanting to pass a mandatory spay & neuter law.. Everyone is fighting over why it should be or shouldnt be passed..

We all know there are to many animals in our shelters, & too many being put to sleep.. But noone wants to come up with any answers..

Last night we held a rally at the KCKC dog show at the Kern County Fairgrounds.

I was very disapointed in how few people showed up for.. I saw a few people from BOTC & KCKC just a few, I didnt see anyone at all from KCA...

Its easy to see that most of the people in the dog clubs here in Kern County are all talk & no action.. Its really sad, that all of you just sit back and watch these laws get passed all over Ca, and you do nothing about it.... While your rights as pet owners are being taken away from you..

Not only do they want mandatory spay & neuter, they want to limit the number of pets you have to 4.. So even if you wanted to adopt a dog from a shelter you couldnt if you already had 4 dogs or cats,, 4 total..

We know once 1 law gets passed it just makes it easier for them to start passing other laws...

What needs to be do is to make Animal Control their own department, so they money they make stays in the animal control department.. so they dont just get the left overs.. They need to start enforcing the laws we already have, going door to door to enforce rabie shots & county tags.. But we know that wont ever happen..

Everyone blames the problem on the breeders of Kern County.. But how do they know all these animals are coming from Kern County ? They are people moving here by the 100s every month... How do they know they arent being brought in from somewhere else ? People buying from petstores, those dogs arent coming from Kern County...

The Bakersfield Californian says it the breeders,, We all saw the story in their paper... But they never tell the other side of the story.... Even one person blamed it on the news paper for letting people place ads in the paper...

What I would like to see is animal control become their own department and doing the jobs they have now... I would really like to see all the dog clubs in Bakersfield & Kern County, donate to a low cost spay & neuter program.. I dont know how many dog clubs there are in Kern County,,?? But I know there are a lot..

Its time to stop all the talk, and DO SOMETHING !!

I would even like to see the Bakersfield Ca, news paper donate $10 for each ad placed in their paper for dogs & cats for sale..

But we know that will never happen either.. Just like everyone else, they would rather pass the blame on to someone else..

I would also like to see the shelters offer help to everyone that adopts a pet from a shelter, in the way of obedience training & taking care of the pet they just adopted..

Once you adopt a pet, you are pretty much on your own... If you have a problem with it.. You either find help on your own or you pss the pet on to someone else..

Then it starts all over again..

Again like I said before, I was very disapointed the turn out at the rally last night from our local dog clubs.. And I call on KCA, BOTC & KCKC,& ever dog club in Kern County to standup for your rights as pet owners,,,

Not just just by being at the meetings but by doing your part as pet owners & responsable dog owners & dog clubs... By coming together donating to start a low cost spay & neuter program here in Kern County, or to bring HOPE back to Bakersfield..

I know some of the dog clubs here in Kern County have money... Use it to get something done, rather just blame each other....

I am sure I just made some people in the dog clubs that I am a member of mad at me..

But thats ok.... They donate money to fight things,, why not donate to help now..

If enough dog clubs here in Kern County got together & helped out with low cost Spay & Neuter, there would be no need for MANDATORY SPAY & NEUTER...
