. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Uncontrolled and irresponsible breeding of animals contributes
to pet overpopulation, inhumane treatment of animals, mass
euthanasia at local shelters, and escalating costs for animal care
and control; this irresponsible breeding also contributes to the
production of defective animals that present a public safety risk.
(b) Though no specific breed of dog is inherently dangerous or
vicious, the growing pet overpopulation and lack of regulation of
animal breeding practices necessitates a repeal of the ban on
breed-specific solutions and a more immediate alternative to existing
laws.
(c) It is therefore the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
chapter to permit cities and counties to take appropriate action
aimed at eliminating uncontrolled and irresponsible breeding of
animals
