Sterilization of pets has become law in Los Angeles. An ordinance requiring spaying or neutering of most cats and dogs by 4 months of age was signed at a City Hall ceremony Tuesday morning.
The goal is to make Los Angeles a so-called no-kill city by reducing the number of animals that end up in shelters and being euthanized.
