"they will breed via magic or spores or something of the sort." You obviously don't understand the problem, the problem isn't with people who are responsible.

"they will breed via magic or spores or something of the sort."
You obviously don't understand the problem, the problem isn't with people who are responsible. The problem is with people dump there dogs on the side of the road, the people who breed there dogs because it sounded cool, or to make money and end up not being able to sell them/give them away and end up dumping them somewhere.
I have never heard of "significant increases in a number of health problems" in spaying/neutering at the sixth month mark, this may be different for some dogs but thats besides the point. Spaying/neutering is not bad, doing so indiscriminately(like everything) is bad. I dont know where your coming from calling it "punishing" the pets. Even with the surgery itself most dogs are up & running in 1-2 days.
I would agree that spaying/neutering is not the complete answer. We should be punishing people who hurt there pets. You should not be able to have a pet if you have been proven not responsible to have one, you should be punished for doing harm to them.
Pets arn't the problem, people are. Pet over population and other problems are simply the sad side effect of humanity.
- papsosouid 14y ago>You obviously don't understand the problem, the problem isn't with people who are responsible That indicates that I do understand the problem. Trying to push responsible owners to harm their pets because other people would let their dogs breed doesn't make any sense. >I have never heard of "significant increases in a number of health problems" in spaying/neutering at the sixth month mark That is why I am mentioning it, because so few people realize there is a problem. There has been a blind push to having all animals spayed/neutered before they are mature, without regards to the welfare of the animals.

I suspect you would have no confusion if it were your sex organs being removed.
- Falling3 14y agoNo that's not the entire problem. The author rightfully points out the issue with buying from large scale breeders - especially when so many adoptable pets are living in shelters.
- cantankerous 14y agoPets are simply the sad side effect of humanity. What exactly is that supposed to mean? Pets can give their owners all kinds of health benefits, emotionally, and otherwise. Humanity isn't all bad, last I checked. I do enjoy my dog.
- jug6ernaut 14y agoSorry, allow me to clarify, the pet overpopulation problem* is simply a said side effect to humanity.
- cantankerous 14y agoGot it ;-)!
