1. MSN laws are vigorously promoted by those who are intent on the extinction of all pet animals. 2. Are these going to be some kind of pet gestapo to enforce this? All in all, I think it's kind of scary.

Reeks of communist governments and secret police living next door. Being a good citizen and reporting unlawful activities is one thing. Employing citizens to track down lawbreakers is way out there and totally un-American.
Answer by arkpudel
I hate legislation like this. The intent is to target the BYB's and puppy mills that are producing too many dogs without homes. Unfortunately, it's only the responsible pet owners that will follow the rules. So, it will put an end to the beautiful, well-bred full-bred dogs, but not to the BYB's and puppy mills who don't care about laws and rules anyway. It follows the same principle that "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"-

I think its great that volunteers will be able to educate the public about spaying and neutering options and maybe help them find a low cost spay/neuter clinic. The mandatory spay/neuter aspect I do not completely understand. Would this apply to everyone? Some people are very responsible dog breeders and I don't think it would be fair for them to be forced to fix their animals. Beautiful Rottweiler!

I do not agree with manditory spay/neuter laws. The only people that will obey such laws are responsible people.. what will happen to the responsible breeders? Only irresponsible people wont follow this law.. the same people who breed their "whatsadoodles" for profit. All you will do is weed out the responsible breeders who are actually producing healthy, quality dogs. That will not eliminate backyard breeders and oops litters. I do think its a good idea toget volunteers to help spread the word about spay/neuter tho.

I think it is horrible! It is just another way for neighbors to spy and then report on one another! I think there's enough of that going on already for everything else someone can think of! It also reminds me of an episode of Andy Griffith! When Gomer wanted to make a Citizen arrest and was wailing down main street Mayberry screaming Citizen's Arrest! Citizen's Arrest! It will back fired and who know's it could lead to more violence than it's worth! People are nuts these days!
Answer by animal_artwork
I think its a great way to encourage even more issues between neighbors... great way to contribute to the rise in violence... great way to end up with even more dogs to get turned in to shelters... great way to drive up the price of puppies... great way to cause some reallllllly expensive lawsuits.

disgusting
Answer by AgileJack
Fantastic! Every county needs this to ensure dogs are altered and not producing puppies wrecklessly. I would sign up immediately if it came to my area.
Answer by jordie0587
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's bad enough they have MSN now they have people that can report you if they don't like you. Farking ridiculous! I am really starting to get worried about the future of dogs. Peta & HSUS's goals are becoming more and more of a possible reality. SOOOO scary!

They proved this at last night's sold-out performance at New York's Terminal 5. Sticking mostly tracks from their hit debut Boys & Girls, the group played the songs entirely as written. That's not so bad, those songs are roundly excellent: “Hold On†is ... Concert Review: Alabama Shakes at New York's Terminal 5
(CBS News) The dreadful string is broken. For the first time in 44 months, the unemployment rate has fallen below 8 percent.
The latest jobs numbers from the Department of Labor today were surprisingly strong. They show the unemployment rate was 7.8 percent in September, down three-tenths of a point from August.
Watch Nancy Cordes' report on President Obama's campaigning on the new, lower jobless numbers.President Barack Obama waited his entire presidency to finally able to utter the words he's always wanted to say.
"The unemployment rate has fallen to the lowest level since I took office," Obama said.
However, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said the numbers weren't good enough.
"There were fewer jobs created this month than last month," Romney said.
Watch Jan Crawford's report on the Mitt Romney's spin on the new jobless numbersWith just 32 days to go before the election, the jobs report was Topic A among candidates. No president since FDR has been reelected with an unemployment rate this high.
Since FDR, President Ronald Reagan was reelected with the highest unemployment rate in 1984. During his first term, unemployment rose to 10.8 percent. But by election day, it was down to 7.2 percent, which looked so much better in comparison.
For Obama, unemployment peaked in 2009 at 10 percent. Now, three years later, it's at 7.8 percent. For both presidents, unemployment generally trended down all the way to election day.
In September, the economy created 114,000 jobs, and the Department of Labor revised upward the job-creation numbers for the previous two months. It now says 181,000 jobs were added in July and 142,000 in August, a total of 86,000 more than first reported.

On jobs numbers, BLS vows there's no conspiracy
In Circle Pines, Minn. where Delkor Systems makes food packaging machines, CEO Dale Anderson has hired 40 people this year and now has 180 employees.
"I think the economy is really ... it's picking up," Anderson said.
Ryan Broughton is one of those new workers. After leaving his job in construction, he retrained to become a machinist.
"I chose manufacturing for the reasons that it doesn't seem so affected by small swings in the economy," he said.
Delkor tripled its research and development budget during the recession. It's paid off. Anderson is building a new plant.
"That's the reason we are moving," he said. "We have plans to continue hiring."
Nationally, the economy's has added an average of more than 145,000 jobs over the past three months, and unemployment has not been this low since January 2009.
"Yes, we're finally below that 8 percent level, but it's still indicative of a slow growth environment," Michelle Meyer, senior U.S. economist for Bank of America, said.
While more than 100,000 jobs is healthy, it's not impressive.
"Think about what we've come off of, the deepest part of post-war recession, and we're adding 100,000 jobs a month," Meyer said. "It's not sufficient."
Much of the drop in unemployment rate is attributed to the growth in part-time jobs.
Amie Crawford, 56, was forced to take a minimum wage job in a Chicago restaurant when she couldn't find full time work as a home designer. She said she didn't even get responses to her resumes.
"I've always believed a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I'm not confident in the economy," Crawford said.
Forty percent of the unemployed have been out of work for six months or more. That number did not drop last month.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said this week his concern is that growth just isn't fast enough to put people back to work.
Even though 150,000 jobs are being created a month right now, that just keeps up with the population growth. We need more than 200,000 jobs to make a dent in unemployment.
