It is the fact that 60,000* animals per year were being euthanized at the shelter that drove this new regulation. There are more than enough healthy animals that are being destroyed that it shouldn't have an impact on the greedy breeders.
The law is geared towards your average mutt. If someone is a breeder, they do not have to have their animals sterilized.
