Positives/Negative Externalities


Negatives:

Of course, as nearly any law is put in place, there are definitely going to be people disagreeing with them. People might oppose my proposed solutions for animal overpopulation because they might think spaying and neutering is cruel. It's not the nicest thing to do to an animal, but it is vastly better than having to euthanize them later. A breeder also may oppose my decision to force licensing, especially if it is their occupation and it would end up limiting their pay.

Positives:

For one, less money would go to the euthanization of animals and there would be more money spent on keeping pets healthy and safe. Another would be the lack of animals roaming around and the government would not be forced to deal with more court cases involving rabies or dog bites or anything of that sort.
