Kim, since this is your thread and you brought it up, I feel free to ask...
Why do you say neutering is unnecessary? Most of my pets have been rescued...that is why I have a problem with it.
Millions of dogs are euthanized even with over seventy percent of pets being neutered. What will happen to the population if more and more people choose not to to? Even that website you list recognizes the fact most people will not be responsible enough to prevent unwanted matings.
In no way do I think every animal should be neutered, it works for you not to have them fixed but do you ever look at the other side? Talk to people that work at kill shelters or even better the people who are forced to do the killing?
If your response is yorkies are popular and get adopted, please show me how you know this. MANY dogs in shelters are purebred...twenty five percent...I have to believe some of these are yorkies, unhealthy and unwanted for a number of reasons. Not to mention the mixes. The rescues can't save them all.
I would love to be wrong.
One other thing, it doesn't bother me when you give your opinion and ask they research the subject before deciding but sometimes what you write gives me the impression you think you are right and anyone who thinks otherwise just doesn't know any better.
Sorry that was so long. |
