New Mexico Bill to Make Spay and Neuter Mandatory
Wednesday, February 14, 2007]
New Mexico House Bill 1106, known as the Pet Owner Responsibility Act, has been introduced by Representative Gutierrez and has been assigned to the Judiciary and Appropriations & Finance Committees. If this bill is adopted, all dogs six months of age or older must be spayed or neutered. While the bill currently provides exceptions for certain breeders, fanciers, and handlers, the bill would have a profound impact on all dog owners in New Mexico. The Judiciary Committee will consider this bill Friday, February 16, at 1:30PM. It is imperative that concerned dog owners and breeders contact their Representative and the committee members to express their opposition.

On the plus side, the city of Los Alamos last year passed an unusually forward-looking pet ordinance. Details are at this AKC site, http://www.akc.org/enewsletter/taking_command/2006/july_aug/alamos.cfm
