Do you not think that pets shouldn't ever be sometimes neutered?

Answer 1

Sorry this is long. No!!! The only reason that animals in shelters and in most pet shops are spayed and neutered is so that breeders make lots of money. They are the one's who support animal shelters and from what I have learned are the ones who working with vets came up with neutering as a way that they could breed animals and no one else could. Also if they were trying to control the pet population why don't they spay and neuter animals like rats which can have up to 2,000 babies a year. Instead of a ferret or cat which can have like maybe 12 babies at the most and thats only if they breed all year. Why do they not spay them because theirs no money in having a rat monopoly(For those who don't know what a monopoly is-Exclusive control by one group of the means of producing or selling a commodity or service). Have you ever tried to buy a non neutered ferret(impossible), but why is it imposible when all they have to do is not neuter it, because places like Marshall Farms don't want you to start breeding ferrets, so instead they will tell you that only they can breed ferrets and it's a very complicated thing. When all along ferrets have been breeding themselves in the wild with no problems. Why can't we buy one not neutered, because we would start selling ferrets and they would lose money. So they neuter all their ferrets and then give money to ferret shelters to make sure that they are neutered. So that they can make money and we can't and that is a monopoly. If you think dogs or cats are different you would be wrong, like I said breeders give money to animal shelters, WHY FOR CATS AND DOGS, so that if you say wanted your dog to have puppies you couldn't just go down to your local animal shelter and buy a simular dog, you would have to buy from a breeder who sells dogs. Thats where they make money. So if you are smart you will realize that there's alot more than so called controlling the pet population, it all comes down to money(vets,breeders,and shelters all get it)which is all most people care about. Neutering is a very cruel thing, I mean what they do to animals would be like me going to an orphanage and neutering all the kids and then saying well I'm only trying to control the human population, sounds very cruel doesn't it!!!

Thought I should add I'm not against people getting their pet spayed or neutered, it's their choice. I'm against shelters and breeders that don't give people a choice. I think that it should be the person who is buying the animals choice and maybe then more people would adopt or buy an animal if they were given that choice. Then they wouldn't have to kill so many animals that people don't want. I mean if with everything you bought someone told you what you had to do with it you would probably stop buying stuff.

Answer 2

No because I went to a humane society to get a dog. When I saw the dog he was happy and very playful. I decided to adopt him for my family. They told me he would have to be neutered, I really didn't want him to be neutered because he was a pure bred silky terrier and I wanted to get him a mate. They kept saying no and finally I just decided to get him anyway. They told me i would have to wait a week to pick him up so that he could be neutered. When I got him he was very weak and wasn't happy. He ended up getting very sick and he could've died. After he finally got better after a month, he was very mean and wouldn't let anyone near him. So I think neutering is bad. I talked to a person I worked with and they said that the same thing happened to their dog. I am never buying another dog from a shelter again.

Answer 3

Spaying and neutering has its place but it is far to widely used and on animals that are way to young. Early spaying and neutering has very bad health effects.

Spaying and neutering INCREASES the risks of:
cardiac tumors (5X greater risk of hemangiosarcoma,)
bone cancer
Incontinence in females
urethral sphincter incontinence in males
adverse reactions to vaccines
hypothyroidism
Infectious diseases
hip dysplasia
behavioral problems
cranial cruciate ligament rupture
higher incidence of CCL rupture
Altering a dog before puberty causes longer limbs, lighter bone structure, narrow chests and narrow skulls

Think about this; if total removal of testis producing testosterone or ovaries and uteruses producing estrogen is healthier for mammals why is it that when humans have surgical sterilization procedures they get vasectomies or have their tubes tied? Hormones are essential for longevity, and good health. Removal of hormone producing body parts is a lazy easy way to make money for veterinary surgery it is NOT healthy for animals it is promoted because of the overpopulation that occurred 30 years ago. Pet overpopulation is NO longer an issue especially in smaller dogs. Shelters are importing dogs from over seas because they don’t have enough particularly in California and New York. All this nonsense is from Animal Rightists who want a pet free “one generation and out” world. Of course if there are no more testicles they will be no testicle caner in the testis, but there WILL be other cancers that are less curable.

Answer 4

I do believe strongly that a person shuld get their pets spayed/neutered. It is sad to hear of all the animals in shelters that have to be euthanized because of kittens and puppies and the adult population of animals where they are abandoned while pregnant, etc. A responsible pet owner gets their pets fixed, gets them their shots, and feeds them healthy pet foods, and fresh water. That is how I feel on the matter. Take care.

Answer 5

Quite the opposite. If you never neuter, spay or geld your animals, then the animal population will be so out of control that most of them will starve to death.

Answer 6

What? Spaying/neutering keeps the pet population down-that would prevent the millions of animals that we have to put to sleep each year from dying if they were never accidently conceived.

Answer 7

They can't be sometimes neutered. Either they are or they aren't. I think for most dogs and cats, spaying and neutering is a good idea.

Answer 8

Unless I intend to breed a pet, I see no reason to leave them intact.

Since breeding is messy, and can leave you with unwanted little pets, I always neuter my pets.

Answer 9

Isn't that a double negative?? No, all animals need to be spayed and neutered if for no other reason, there health.

Answer 10

Unless you plan on being a responsible breeder, all dogs and cats should be spayed/neutered.
