Spay/Neuter Bill a Reality in LA

After a legislative effort -- backed by 'Price is Right' host Bob Barker (no pun intended) -- failed last year, LA Mayor Villaraigosa signed Tuesday an LA city ordinance requiring most dogs and cats to be spayed or neutered by the time they are 4 months old.  As written up by the AP, it is considered one of the nation's toughest laws on pet sterilization.  We say most as there are some exemptions, including pups chosen to serve on the LAPD's K-9 force -- thus increasing the desirability for that job among the city's pooch population. 

This also gives occasion to highlight one of our favorite, as yet unpublished, gadfly videos.  This one deals with the humane -- vs. inhumane -- approach to controlling the animal population.
