Ten worst excuses not to spay or neuter a pet
By David the Dogman
1. Just one litter and then we'll have Fluffy spayed.
(Studies show that virtually the entire pet overpopulation
stems from the "just one litter mentality.)
2. My dog doesn't run loose, so he doesn't need to be fixed.
(Murphy's Law says otherwise.)
3. We always find homes for the kittens.
(And that means that an equal number of kittens at the
pound will be killed.)
4. I want the children to witness the miracle of birth.
(Rent a video.)
5. My dog is so cute and unique, there should be more of her.
(The shelters and pounds are full of cute and unique dogs,
most with only a few days to live.)
6. It's not natural.
(There hasn't been anything "natural" about dogs since we
began to develop breeds thousands of years ago.)
7. I just couldn't look my dog in the eye if I had him
castrated.
(Watch it, you're anthropomorphiizing.)
8. A female dog or cat should have at least one litter for
health reasons.
(Medically, factually and ethicaly indefensible.)
9. Neutering my dog will make him fat and lazy.
(Too much food and not enough exercise make a dog fat and
lazy.)
10. Fixing my pet will change its personality.
(The main influences on an animal's personality are the
kindness and care with which it is raised.)
