Not all dog's have a mommy who takes cares of them, feeds them good food,
get's then vet checked and has a soft bed to sleep in. If your not breeding
and do not have licence to breed get your dog fixed!
This conversation can beat itself to death I'm sure but I stand firm.
I think the law is a good one. There are millions of dogs suffering because
someone was to lazy or cheap to get their dog fixed. |
There are some people that are irresponsible, but responsibility does not equal having a "fixed" dog. Because there are dogs that are treated poorly even after thier owner has "fixed" them. having an intent to breed is not the only reason some people decide not to get thier dog fixed. Some dogs are too tiny to fix, some dogs cant get fixed because they are allergic to the anastisa or have a heart condition, some dog owners plan to show thier dog (like me) and some have religious/emotional views (also like myself) that make them feel like it is not the right things to do. I do not knock your decision like i said earlier, but i honestly feel that people should become more opened minded, and expand thier view of the issue further then what is spoon fed to them, by the organizations that promote this procedure. I feel everyone should look at the research. also those people that are irresponsible and treat their unbred dogs like puppy making machines will continue to do what they are doing despite any law, those evil people who own puppy mills do have a license to breed! so, having that license will not stop someone from being an irresponsible person. But yes as you said this is an issue that will always be controversial, until everyone looks at each others point of view.
There are irresonsible pet owners, some of them have fixed dogs and some of them have unfixed dogs. but as i said my problem was with you calling them all ignorant.
