I don't see any snarky comments going on here. If you think offering the opinion that people are irresponsible and millions are animals are killed every year is snarky I don't know what to even say to that.  Gemy, don't take this wrong but as much as you advocate for this topic we all know how you had a Heartworm positive dog. The story is very sad but in the end it was owner failure by not properly giving the preventative. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/our...s-prayers.html
Which brings me to the point of why EVERY pet owner should spay and neuter. When it becomes a matter of life and death it is then too late. Like I said in my first post, owners are not always responsible and the story of Zoey (I consider you very responsible) is just case in point. |
And how do I take this the "right" way. Thank you for reminding of Zoeys' death not from Heartworm but from Cancer 6 months later! And very close to her 2 year anniversary as well! And it was very clear
by me in my OWN thread that it was my fault. It wasn't in the end it was owners' failure, I admitted that right up front on my thread!
The story of Zoey has no bearing on Spay/Neuter research at all, and what that research is telling us.
This is a thread I keep active when new research on this topic comes to my attention, and I will continue to post this research, for those readers who are interested enough to read it. I am quite sure we have lots of members who not only own Yorkies but medium to large size breeds as well. Ya think that they might be interested in this research?????
And when finally I come across toy breed studies I will post those as well.
My position on Spay and Neuter for those that care to read all my postings is appropriate timing, and that there are no over-weening health benefits for males. I never say DONT neuter or SPAY, I in fact for females basically say spay, and for males I say there is no over-weening health benefit for males...........
So how does this make me ANTI SPAY/NEUTER?
In closing, I thank you Jodi, for jabbing my heart to remember my two beloved pets who I lost to cancer. My Karma 11 months ago today a neutered male cat, and my Zoey 2 yrs and 2 days ago an intact female. And btw not from mammary cancer!
