(76,567 posts)First, you didn't. You merely repeated yourself. That's hardly critical thinking. That being said:
You're entire premise is flawed. The very notion that spaying and neutering is done solely for the benefit of the pet owner is an opinion with no basis in fact. The sheer numbers of pets that must be euthanized each year suggest that spaying and neutering reduces the number of animals that MUST BE KILLED! Are you capable of understanding the value of reducing the number of animals that must be expunged?
Secondly, there are hormonal urges that pets undergo that make being homebound much harder to take. There is a calming psychological effect when the pets don't undergo hormonal swings they can't possibly be made to understand.
Now, i know there are some words that may be beyond you and some lines of thinking you are willfully avoiding, but i thought it abundantly clear that i disagreed with EVERYTHING about your post.
And, it strikes me that you have quite the hubris to assume that you're the only one who KNOWS that spaying and neutering is a bad idea when virtually every animal welfare group and vet organizations encourage the practice.
Happy now?
