It is the mentality of the people who say "I just want my dog to have puppies for my close family members", "I just want my children to experience the miracle of childbirth" that are contributing to the death of millions of animals annually. Think about this before you try to compare dogs to people!

I see this from a different angle; I would never want my dog to have to go through the painful and uncomfortable process of birthing puppies, so I choose to spay and neuter. I do not see my animals as breeding machines, so I get them fixed.

I am truly offended by this statement
