I do not believe in spaying & neutering because i think it is genital mutilation that was a form of torture used in concentration camps and slavery. I acknowledge the benefits of spaying and neutering: 1)prevention of abandoned offspring who may suffer abuse and may have to be euthanized, 2)the behavourial benefits and 3)health benefits. However, I think 1) can be solved by animal birth control, this may not exist but scientists can invent it, i know there is anti-mating spray that can be helpful but animal birth control is definately possible, people can keep animals of the same sex alone or keep animals of different sexes separately (if they insist of having a male and female) as a preventative measure as well. The behavourial benefits are really a benefit for us humans and i believe we can live without it, after all i do. Spaying and neutering can prevent cancer in animals, but i guess that may also work for humans, why don't we all spay & neuter ourselves? Spaying and neutering to prevent diseases & to prolong an animal's life is against nature but it's acceptable as treatment or if the animal has a genetic mutation that may cause a disease. In conclusion, i think animal activists who support spaying and neutering are hypocritical and superficial. People should stop taking the easy way out by spaying and neutering and should take more responsibiltiy to provide tlc for their loveable pets. I know the eradication of spaying and neutering may not be easy but it can be implemented, step by step, how can you resist your adorable pet?
