Wow! What is wrong with the mentality of some people. So the question I have is this: The $1,900 in fines & restitution will be paid by the mayor or by the city? Please advise.

As long as Americans think it's "cruel" to neuter their beloved alter ego, this sort of thing will continue to happen. Please, if you "love" your pet, Don't tie it to a chain, forget or neglect to vaccinate, feed or water it. A pet is not your personal appendage, it is a whole life in and of itself, with its own feelings of hunger, cold, neglect. Americans have enough problems taking care of their own children, without imposing their self indulgence on an animal.
