Spaying, neutering, vasectomy, tubal ligation....whichever way its done, it needs to be done. Birth control pills? I disagree, they can't even get that right for humans....and, lets face it, people forget to dispense their own medication veryyyyyy often and pet owners forget to dispense to pets as well, as documented in this thread and several others and not just heartworm meds.
I don't like to see a thread on any dog board that even slightly justifies or could be perceived as a reason not to spay/neuter, especially since there are more dogs killed everyday, then there are dogs in homes....working in a shelter, brings it home, really brings it home.
Bringing it to the forefront is important, every chance you get, because while many can sit back and pretend millions of dogs aren't killed each year, many more of us can't. The perfect world doesn't exist, have we become so desensitized and removed from reality that people are immune to REALLY caring about the plight of millions of dogs that are killed? I hope not.
