It is not the norm where I live: cost is brought up mostly but also guys uncomfortably crossing their legs when you mention it or 'it is not a real dog anymore'

It is not the norm where I live: cost is brought up mostly but also guys uncomfortably crossing their legs when you mention it or 'it is not a real dog anymore'. The result: mountains littered with puppies every mating season and then refuges overloaded. Every few years, some fund pops up to pay vets to do free neutering and spaying: that really helps most of the problem as most will do it then; just wish the other owners could be fined if their dogs causes the stray dog issue to rise again (which costs money; there is dog catchers, the pound, refuges, effect on tourism etc).
