Why is it okay for a dog to be s/n & not a person? And not the whole because a dog is different from a human. Because you'll use that same excuse when someone thinks its foolish to spend x amount on vet bills, because its ''just a dog''...and you go its not JUST A DOG!
Why if the animal's health is not at risk is this so important to the animal community? And then people who don't our bashed for doing so. The human population is just as overly populated as the dog population, but you don't see mothers telling their daugthers to get their tubes tied? You get all down a person's throat for saying its not your choice whether to tie tubes & such for another person, but when it comes to someone ELSES dog, your on theirs? Like their this horrible person for not doing so? What if they just don't want to put their dog in such a risky operation? Like it or not, that could bethe last time you can see your dog if god forbid something goes wrong on the table. And then they're selfish because they want offspring from their dog, but isn't beinging selfish by making a choice to remove something God intentionally put there? Just like most of us feel its OUR DESIRE to reproduced even though there's tons of kids that need adopting and there is alot of huma overpopulation, can't you see the desire to reproduce in your pets as well? The way a dog finds a toy to mother when she is not able to produce a liter of her own?
Also the whole prevention thing.
#1 to prevent illness. Would you fix yourself if it meant to prevent cancer? My thing is if its going happen, its going to happen. There's so much prevention you can do. So you're going to stop tanning to prevent cancer, why strip yourself from something, when if you didn't know that applying sunblock prevents cancer, you would of probably die cancer-free anyways even living your whole life without applying sunblock, I mean sunblock hasn't been around forever, yet peope manged to live cancer-free.
#2 To prevent unwanted litters. When a person has an oops, you just go **** happens & congrats them. When a person dog has an oops litter, you bash them for beinging irresponsible. But say if their teen gets pregnant by accident....THAT was something you couldn't prevent and you say **** happens...but that doesn't make you irresponsible on bit, even though that is your very OWN offspring. You don't see them apologizing that it was my fault, ect, ect. But if someone here has an oops litter, they feel like they must apologize for it? Or if its not an oops and it was intentional, they feel they must cover it up as an oops to make themselves seem like a good dog owner. Why can't it be that a person can COMMIT themseves to prevent it, that IT MUST BE DONE BY S/N? We prevent unwanted pregnancies by condoms, there's ways to prevent a dog from having an oops litter too. Athough neither way are 100% effective, just because its not 100% you don't go around telling people to get fixed so they can stop them from having an oopsie.
And then there's always that exception....to better the breed. When we choose our mates, do we really look into who has the best genes? And even if the genes are great....nothing in life is perfect, there's always going to something wrong.
Sometimes I feel like that I'm beinging pressure by the animal community to s/n and I'm doing it for THEM, not me, or my dog. Personaly I HATE any sort of sugery, unless its NEEDED. When I had a broken bone, it was okay to go under the knife. Because I have fat feet, I COULD get an arch, but its not something I think I should risk my life for. Thats how I feel about s/n, because I can't stand the chance of losing my dog, for something thats not even needed. What if I want to keep them unaltered, is that so wrong? Is it so wrong for me to feel that I would like to have an offspring of my dogs? But then I get stripped of that choice for the well-sake of making OTHER people feel better? Sure it prevents stuff, and makes things like shots ess expensive, but really does it make a person that horrible for not doing so? Sometimes I feel some people are targeted as if they've done something criminial to their dogs for not havinging them s/n.
Please don't take this personal! I'm just posting my honest opinion! Personally I feel like I could keep my dogs from mating if I wanted to, and it really is uncall for the surgery, and I although I can lose my dog and her pups from a pregnancy, atleast thats NATURE'S call, not mines, but I would really like to have an offspring from my dogs, just like a parent would like a grandchild. Sorry its just my way of thinking, sorry for beinging so boast and truthful, and its hard to say something like this on here, but its just the way I feel, sorry if its not your way of thinking. I aways fet ike I should just shut up & just agree, but this is how I fee and I don't see just because I'm the minority that I shouldn't be allowed to express my true feelings. I am going to s/n Didi & Princess (Pepe came altered), but sometimes I do find myself asking myself is this what I really want or am I just doing it to please others to keep their mouths shut & not make me seem like such a ''terrible'' dog owner. But my question is does it really make you any less a bad owner if you don't? If you DO breed, even for one times sake? I always hear do things FOR YOU, don't make decisions to please others. If I feel I am doing the best for my dogs by keeping them this way, who's to say I'm not? Its not ike I'm torturing them for keeping their thing things intact....I mean unless they get blue balls or something lol....but to wake up ball-less and unabe to produce seems much much worst. Also when yo usee a I just got my dog s/n...its not a happy post...its my poor baby...stripped of their manhood...seems so depressed...and that doesn't make me think that s/n is realy the best thing ever as it seems to be protrayed. Sometimes I feel I don't see the NEED to be so harsh on a pet owner who wants or had breed their dog, or wants to keep their dog intact, just because. Even over something silly as I'm not taking my dog's manhood away.
Might be a stupid thing to ask, but has anyone felt or feels this way as well? Or am I just one very ignorant person?
