That billboard is hilarious! As for spinning things....just look at the news. It's only natural that if you think something is the best choice you will try to convince other people the same way. We all do it. This is definitely a decision that is very personal and everyone should make on their own, but facts for either position being known aren't going to hurt anything. Just because more people do it or say to do it doesn't make it the right choice for everyone. It doesn't make it the wrong choice either. There are alot of things that used to be the norm that we wouldn't even consider doing today. Informed decisions are wise decisions. My choice for Eleanor is not to spay unless some future health reason requires it. And if (heaven forbid) it does I'll cross that bridge when I get there. IMO I don't think that being unaltered is the best choice for us even though I do not intend to breed. I dont' think that a normal cycle is a health risk for a dog and the incidences of the diseases that occur in an unaltered female are (IMO of course) negligible.
