Micromanaging pet owners...

I'm sorry, but there had to be far more pressing concerns than micromanaging cat ownership in Rhode Island or any other state.

Cat owners must spay or neuter pets older than six months unless they pay $100 for a breeder's license. Violators can be fined $75 per month.

I do not like mandatory spay/neuter laws at all. If you are going to make people responsible for something, they need to be the ones to make the calls - not some bureaucrat. Why did this law even have urgency in the first place? Did Rhode Island's politicians solve every other problem the state faced?

Inquiring minds would like to know...
