Thanks for putting words in my mouth...the likes of which I never spoke.Originally Posted by damiongage
For my official stance, I am against spaying or neutering your pet unless it is otherwise a health isk. As for the population problem...WATCH YOUR **** DOG! Both of my dogs are spayed and/or neutered (respectively). My female is a small breed and I had a large extreme alpha male Dobie...it was a health risk for her not to be spayed.
When I bought my Ridgeback, the breeder sold him as a pet not a show dog. by the sales contract, I had to have him neutered by the age of 11 months, or they could reclaim the animal.
Having said that, I draw the line for choice where it crosses their best interest. Nobody is talking about HRT for pets here...if that were the case...great. I am putting my body at risk by using steroids...but that is my choice.
Don't for one moment think that the use of steroids for bodybuilding purposes is actually going to make you healthier...it won't.
Same goes for the pet.
