I a name withhold Fried org Germany a writer supports pet Breeding controls i am writing with regard to a recent article in the stars and stripes which described the efforts of a director of an animal shelter in California who is trying to get a Bill passed that would control the Breeding  and cats in that area. Perhaps i am in the minority but i support her Endeavor to put a halt to indiscriminate Breeding. Approximately 13,000,000 animal pets arc killed in shelters every year in America. This is a tremendous waste of life and millions of dollars of taxpayers Money and i resent the waste of both. / it would seem to me that the tax dollars used for funding shelters to kill unwanted animals could be bet Ter used to improve services in our a hospitals provide better care for our children and elderly and in countless other ways that would truly Benefit. I have shared my Home and life with companion animals since the Day i was born and this had included abandoned dogs and cats from shelters  number of purebreds. All my animals Are spayed or neutered and i have never allowed an animal to reproduce. Yes we want to continue to Breed companion animals for Loving Homes but it must be done with True standards in mind and not the mindless a mating for Money that goes on at present. I would also propose that every breeder of dogs and cats work two full weeks As a Volunteer at an animal shelter. This would awaken Many casual breeders to the magnitude of the animal shelter problem.
