No Dog-Breeding for Felons

In Illinois, § 720 ILCS 5/12-36 is entitled, "Possession of unsterilized or vicious dogs by felons prohibited." A person convicted of "a forcible felony," various drug-related offenses, or certain other felonies may not have "an unspayed or unneutered dog or puppy older than 12 weeks of age."

If you are a convicted drug dealer, do not despair. The prohibition only lasts for 10 years after release from prison.
