Surgery is risky and the so-called health benefits of neutering are in no way proven to outweigh the risk of the surgery and the pain the animal must endure.
Obviously, irresponsible owners who cannot contain and control the dog should have them altered, but as long as unwanted pregnancies can be prevented and the dog is not overly aggressive, and absent some other compelling reason, it is perfectly okay to leave a dog unaltered imo.
Juat another viewpoint to consider. |
