All House Hold Pets Should Be Spayed And/or Neutered
The animal population is growing rapidly. This means that more pets are going to be abandoned, abused, and produced. Fixing your pet can help reduce these numbers and also protect him/her from things like breast cancer(females) prostate cancer(females) and other diseases. Please help control our animal population!!

If you don't plan on breeding you should have you pets S&N. It's better to have it and not need it than vise versa.

I disagree with those who have said that spay/neutering your pet is cruel, when you look at the fact that by doing so you could be helping to prevent ovarian cancer in females and testicular tumours in males. With females delivering a litter can also have many downsides such as when they must deliver through c-section and chance the possibility of death as a result. Spaying/Neutering your pet can also be beneficial in terms of the pets temperament and any hormone related behavioural issues. Granted with anything in life there are up sides and downsides I personally agree with having your pet spayed or neutered if only for the health benefits that go with having either option done.

I believe that people should have their pets spayed or neutered. The pet population is out of control and many of these poor animals just end up in kennels or at the dog pound. Many will be put to sleep. This is not a good life for these animals. If you want to take the responsibility of caring for the puppies or kittens, then don't get your pet spayed or neutered. It is like having a baby. If you don't want the responsibility, then have the animal fixed. It is not fair to bring animals into the world if they are only going to suffer and be put to sleep before their time is up.

I Breed my Bichon Frise. Sorry, I don't think I should HAVE to get him fixed. I shouldn't be penalized b/c others have been irresponsible with their animals. I'm more for fixing some people.LOL

I have my cats and my dog spayed and neutered. But I don't think there is a spay neuter option for my gerbil. So I only have one. I haven't had my fish spay / neutered either. And we had parakeets and didn't have them spayed or neutered either. Sometimes just keeping one in a cage works just as well.

The human population is out of control it is already many times that of other species of animal. All humans must be neutered/spayed to prevent the population from increasing more and many problems to occur. 1. More children on the street.
2. More resources required for the children to be cared for.
Also being spayed or neutered reduces your chance of getting diseases like STDS and cancers.

I won't say all should be, certainly there are people who breed professionally and responsibly who should be able to have un-neutered animals, but the majority should.

And honestly, if you can't afford to have your pet fixed, then you probably can't afford to have your pet. An animal is a responsibility, it is not a right.

 For people who breed yeah there pet(s) should go un-fixed i guess but for those who just enjoy having pets fixing them is the way to go. Fixing a pet decreases its chance of breast cancer(females) prostate cancer(males) and a whole lot of other things. fixing your pet shows you want them to live happy and HEALTHY lives!

I agree that pets are being abused, but there are people who can't afford to spay and neuter their pets (I'm one of them).

 I'm sure your city has a free or discount spay/neuter program, just call and ask a vets office or call a local shelter.
