Alas, you are right.
I don't think this should be forced on ANY pet owner. They should be allowed to make the decision for themself.
I think in the event that someone realizes containing their dog(s) during a heat cycle just isn't possible (either because they just don't want to or otherwise), they are doing the responsible thing by choosing the procedure.
Unfortunately, even w/ the most responsible owner, there are moments that are..."slip ups?"
