I feel its ok for the owner to decide not to spay/neuter, but only if being responsible for the pets actions. A lot of pet owners allow their pets to mate freely then post up the offspring for urgent adoption "because my house no more space" and all sorts of similar reasons. In the end the animals end up on the road, sold to a petshop, in SPCA, or neglected in a cage the whole day. I think that is more cruel compared to neuter/spay. The babies will have suffer for an entire life.

I wont point out any names here but there have been so many pet owners on this forum that said after I breed I will not dump out or sell the offspring, I will keep all myself or find an excellent home for them. In the end you will see the pets on our adoption board or garage sales, sometimes the parents, sometimes the offspring. Then the owner will MIA from lyn indefinately.

Its not nature to have 2 animals of different gender stay together and "shag" as you put it. In the wild they mate then they go their seperate ways. Putting them together and letting the male harrass the female all day can be stressful for the female especially if the male is really high libido. I'd rather neuter the male and leave the female as she is rather than the other way round.

Basically, I feel that human should not play as God. I will always believe that its meant to be and let mother nature takes it course. This is why I am against spaying and neutering. I know not every owner is a good owner, not everyone can be responsible. Some are careless, some just dont have the time, others have different excuses.

Simply put, I believe that "Do not do what you dont want others to do unto you."

won,
I understand your point and I know many of us will have differing views about this topic of discussion. It's good that we have topics like this to keep the board alive and going.

Like you said, it's the owners decision and responsibility to take care of the pet. When I bought my dog, I made a vow to my girl (soon to be wife) that if I failed at taking care of them, it will only reflect how poorly I would be if I am a dad. I did that because she is a pet lover and I want to be good and right now, as an owner, I would dare say I am doing the right thing.

xecton,
The home owners dont have to do it. They just have to be responsible. I know we cannot care for all our pet's offsprings. There are bound to be 'accidents' sometimes and more puppies come along the way. How I see it is,
1. Give it to your relatives where you can often visit
2. Sell it to a new home - I believe if people fork out money from their pockets, they are bound to be more responsible. If you give it to them free, they are bound to be more careless.

If they surive, it is their life. Whether the next owner wants to spay, neuter or even put them to sleep is the sins the next owner have to bear.

Since you have been around LYN forum for some time, you should have seen the cases that some owners bought the pure breed dogs with their own money yet were not responsible for them. Forking out money for pets does not mean they will be great owners.
