In fact, you assume too much in this entire discussion, like the only reason zoos keep their animals intact is for sex.
Why else would they? Zoos are the only humans who I've met that are against spaying and neutering and they just happen to be the ones that have sex with them.

You assume all vets recommend it.
Considering basically all the vets do the surgery they obviously aren't against it at least.

I smell sour grapes more and more in your posts.
As I said, I have zero reason to be jealous of you (or anyone here). I had a head start because I got my own animal while I was young and because I have enough access to other animals. Not sure why you want me to be envious so badly.

Again, provide some debatable evidence
Oh so you're allowed to throw my evidence away but I always have to accept the one that supports your opinion? That's funny.

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I again suggest everyone consider looking into Ovary-Sparing Spays for females (removes the uterus so no pyo, no puppies but hormones are intact so no lethargy)
They still get mammary cancer though, which has an extremely high chance.

Option 1 - No alteration
PROS: Hot to think about as a zoo

Option 3 - Castration/neutering
PROS: No risk of siring puppies, no risk of testicular cancer; cheaper, easier to find a willing vet and very low risk of complications versus vasectomy, reduces risk of hormonal aggression
CONS: Loss of hormones (risk of lethargy, depression, loss of metabolism), some loss of zoo hotness, may lose interest in or even receptivity to sex
Yet somehow I'm the clown here... That's complete nonsense.
