Spay/ Neuter Ethics and Zoophilia

[battlecrops]

Good grief, why did I bother typing that up if you don't even glance at the "''evidence''' that you put in sarcasm quotes, that are literal scientific university-backed studies?  Looks like you're just wanting to start an argument and ignore most other's posts here.  Anyway, I didn't hear about any of this from zoos, I heard it from show and working dog owners.  Who are very anti-zoo, actually.  Here's another, cited article, about likelihood of behavior issues after neutering.




I don't care if you spay or neuter your animals, you do what works for you.  I don't care what the zoo community thinks of altering animals, as I'm not very involved in the community anymore.  I literally don't have sex with dogs, so I have no personal bias or reason to want my dogs intact.  All I'm trying to point out is, the absolutist statement of "spaying and neutering improves a dog's health" is not necessarily true.  I'm hoping the scientific community will continue to do more extensive studies on dogs and even other species so we can get some more conclusive answers, and thus be more educated pet owners that can provide the best for our animals' heath.
