VA Update: MSN Bill Tabled in Committee!
Print This Article
[Tuesday, January 29, 2008]
Today, Subcommittee #1 of the Virginia House Agriculture, Chesapeake, and Natural Resources Committee considered and tabled HB 1570, which would have mandated the spaying or neutering of certain companion animals. This effectively kills this legislation for the 2008 legislative session.

The American Kennel Club and its Virginia federation, the Virginia Federation of Dog Clubs and Breeders, congratulate the responsible breeders and concerned dog owners who took the time to educate their delegates about this issue.
