I just think that we need to know all the facts and make our decisions from there. I certainly would have liked to know beforehand what could happen. We hear too much of only one side of the story. I think a balance of information is needed so we can make informed decisions. |
Yea, I bet there are going to be a lot of unhappy pet owners when the truth about early neutering gets out.
