Are you for or against nutuering or spaying your animal?

Question

Are you guys for or against taking away their reproductive organs for "medical reasons"
Please discuss below if necessary

Answer

Coming for a Vet Tech there are more benefits to spaying and neutering then not. It reduces the risk of mammary, testiclar, and prostate cancer. It keeps females from getting a pyometra (a serious infection of the uterus which is life threatening). It also will reduce the urge to roam. We really don't need more dogs and cats ending up in shelters/pounds. They are not emotionally attached to there reproductive organs.

Answer

For. It's irresponsible to not spay and neuter.

Answer

I think it's completely irresponsible not to.

Answer

I am for because there's to many unwanted animals in shelters getting killed everyday. It's better for their health to.

Answer

Just found this online. Not sure how accurate it is.

Answer

It's recommended by veterinarians that you spay or Neuter your animals if you have no plans to breed them.

Answer

I lost a dog when she got sick from a stray coming in and "breeding" with her. Spaying/neutering keeps the animals tamer/less aggressive since they aren't so territorial or easily excited (seriously, compare stallions to geldings). As well, it lowers the stray population that's already out of proportion in many places. It also keeps you from getting surprise litters if an "unfixed" stray pops in.

Answer

I have a dog and I wouldn't get him sorted. I don't really find it fair on the animal. But then again I wouldn't breed him just to sell his pups. X

Answer

Why wouldn't you? Just curious about that side. I'm for it, but I want to know why someone would be against it. Technically, we as humans, can have ourselves 'fixed' if we keep having kids, or don't ever want kids. Soooooo, I'm not understanding the whole other side.

Answer

Imagine how many more stray cats and dogs we'd have running around if no one spayed or neutered their animals!!
 I think it really is irresponsible not to get it done unless of course you are looking to be a breeder.
