nteresting perspective, thank you for sharing. Considering the stance I wonder if you feel the same about unethical mutilation of humans. Men and also women are circumcised every day and by vast majority against their will. I think that since humanity has many problems for themselves why make a divide among our species? If you are against neutering then don’t do it. I know I wouldn’t, but for those who have no desire to mate their animals for having puppies or have no sexual tendencies towards their animals then what is the point? There are way too many animals without a loving home, shelters are full and cannot manage the liability if these animals accidentally get pregnant. Also animals with whom don’t have a trusting relationship with humans can already be aggressive, if intact of course their behaviour can be even more unpredictable. I understand you are angry but you can’t change something that’s been the status quo for centuries. When I adopted my cat it was in the breeder’s contract, I was required to spay her with the promise that she is not to be bred. With the price of pure bred animals, I could not afford the the additional cost they asked if we chose not to neuter her. And for many, the behaviour of intact animals, when in heat, can be unbearable. When you have neighbours, a cat who meows 18 hours a day for a week every month is just not something which can be tolerated. Not to mention, the harassment one might receive from a cat in heat ?. Maybe I could handle an intact male dog, but for many, it is a liability and not the status quo.
In summary, for many, maybe most, the responsible thing is to neuter or spay. Our furry friends have been domesticated by humans for thousands of years.
