Senate reverses course on spay and neuter legislation

On June 2, the Senate reversed the course on spay and neuter legislation. After years of failed attempts to control the pet population and ease the strain on California’s overburdened shelters and shelter workers, the California Legislature has reversed course and passed Senate Bill 250 after much debate.

The California State Senate approved the contentious measure by Senate Majority Leader
