I specifically phrase my posts to make sure that no one thought I was pushing my views on anyone, I was merely giving people some food for thought and asking them to make their own educated decisiosn on what is best for their beloved pet. I even said that sometimes neutering IS best for the animal. It depends on the situation.
I don't think you read my posts carefully enough if you feel I am "pushing my beliefs onto others" any more than the pro "routine s/n" members are. I haven't called anyone lazy, insensitive, uncaring, irresponsible, or stupid for neutering their pet, but I feel that in some instances, this is the case.
They would rather not bother with the hassle of the heats and the leg lifting and being responsible enough to supervise and to provide adequate containment to prevent unwanted pregnancy so they take the "easy way out for them" and have the poor dog's God given parts removed permanently. That should be considered cruel and even criminal in my book. I mean if we are supposed to be looking out for the best interests of our pets, how can routine neutering be in their best interests when they could have a tubal ligation or vasectomy or be responsible and contain them like responsible pet owners should? |
No the ones who believe in s/n is not pushing their rational, usual approach on you. They don't start thread after thread, with term paper, after term paper post on the subjest. They just merely say, I am getting so and so neutered or spayed tomorrow...And here comes the whole book of your opinion, which in my honest opinion after hearing it over and over after a Long period of time, is rather pushy! I've never called you none of those things, are you saying I did, please go back and read carefully! BTW irresponsible isn't a bad thing!
Well, you would find spaying and neutering cruel and criminal now wouldn't you, that is the most extreme point to make isn't!
