I think spaying or neutering is not cruel, it's actually being kind. Some thing like a blessing in disguise. yes, your pets may lose its ability to reproduce, but it will lengthen the time you can have your pet by your side. plus it will be healthier with less health and temperament problems. So why not?

The reason why we have pets is we enjoy keeping and having their company, having them with us. We don't need to breed them. And our streets are overun with stray cats and dogs. Already too many... Why contribute more to the overpopulation problem? We don' need more pure breed dogs. Mongrels or local breeds are fine too, so why not adopt a stray rather than breeding your pure breed? Adopting a stray would lessen the stray population and prevent overpopulation of breeding if you neuter. two birds with one stone.

Pets are our companions, not our birthing machines.So neuter and spaying is good.

I don't mean we don't NEED purebreeds lar. Just that we shouldn't put emphasis on JUST purebreed dogs. The life of a stray mixed local breed dog is no less than a purebreed's ma. They are equal. That's what I'm trying to say. I heard of cases where people throw out their adopted stray dogs because their purebreed dogs are giving birth or buying another purebreed dog. Very saddenning...

One must be responsible for what he/she breeds soo there are less strays la. Animals deserve our love, no matter what their breed or species are.

We aim for more understanding and responsible owners, not less owners, so banning is not the way lor.
