Owning pets could become a thing of the past in Silicon Valley.
No, cats and dogs aren't being banished from the California high-tech haven. But Santa Clara County, Calif., officials are considering an upgrade in the status of pet owners.
The animal lovers would be pet guardians, not merely owners. The county Board of Supervisors is scheduled to vote on the issue Tuesday.
Officials saying being called a pet guardian should get people to be more responsible with their furry friends. The measure would change all references in county legal documents, but would not change any of the owners' responsibilities.
San Francisco, Berkeley, and the State of Rhode Island have passed similar laws.
I feel your pain. We spent about that much on surgery for our cat, AFTER insurance paid their share. Made my wife extremely happy, but I couldn't help thinking it was a little bit silly.

>>>More communities are considering restrictions on high risk dog breeds(ie Pit Bulls)
Here is the ordinance wording. Notice it is changed from pit bull to a generalization.
Dublin, Ohio
Dangerous/Vicious Dogs
Under the City of Dublin Vicious Dog Ordinance, all dogs defined as “dangerous” or “vicious” must be securely confined at all times. Owners of vicious dogs are required to have liability insurance of at least $100,000.
Wild/Dangerous Animals
Keeping animals considered dangerous to humans on any premises is not permitted unless by a licensed institution. Such animals include members of the cat and dog family, wolves, badgers, bears and poisonous reptiles. If a resident is found keeping such an animal on his/her premises, he/she will receive a written notice to safely remove the animal within three days. Failure to do so, or if the animal is reported to have harmed a human being, will result in impoundment.
Care of Pets/Domestic Animals:
* Cruelty to animals, abandoning domestic animals, and/or attempts to harm, kill or poison animals is prohibited.
* Animals should not be permitted to run at-large. All pets should be securely leashed or under direct control when not on your property. Any stray domestic animal may be impounded by the Dublin Police or Franklin County Animal Control.
* The living conditions of pets/domestic animals should be properly maintained and kept free of offensive odors or unsanitary conditions for the benefit of the animals as well as the surrounding neighborhood.
* Pet owners are responsible for the proper disposal of any fecal matter left by their animal(s) on public property.
* Dogs, cats or domestic ferrets over the age of 3 months must be immunized against rabies. Pet owners must either display a current rabies immunization tag on a dog or cat collar and/or be able to present an immunization certificate if requested.
* Dogs more than 3 months of age should be registered annually with the County Auditor. The Dublin Police or Franklin County Animal Control may impound a dog if a valid registration tag is not attached to the dog’s collar.
* Keeping dogs that continually disturb the peace by barking, howling or yelping, is not permitted.
Hunting
Hunting, killing or attempting to kill any animal or fowl is prohibited within the corporate boundaries of Dublin.
Sick/Injured Domestic Animals
Residents should notify Dublin Police if they find an injured or sick animal. If the animal is wild, do not approach it.

F: I'm sure you'll appreciate this little tidbit. ;-)
"Breedism=Racism"
Actually, they really are exactly the same categories.
Although it is highly unusual for me to disagree with you, I must in this case.
It is not responsible owners or breeders who are pushing for this change in designation from ownership to guardianship.
It is the animal rights activists who are pushing advocating this change in status.
Dogs are property with no civil rights. That's the law.
I wasn't arguing that. I'm saying "race" is basically another "humanized" word for "breed".
Don't guardians get some type of compensation? Vacation time/raises.
