it's people that own the animals that DO NOT spay/neuter their pets. if you are not a registered, responsible, breeder you DO NOT need to have you pet... intact. cats n dogs are not like people, they don't "enjoy" sex. they are "driven" to propagate. when they're intact it's painful if they DON'T breed, both physically and psychologically. that's why they become aggressive. unlike wild animals who have seasonal times of 3 or 4 months out of an entire year, pets are constantly within season. it's bred into them BY HUMANS to be this way. it's called domestication.
breeding for animals isn't even pleasant. for humans sex is GREAT, who doesn't like a good roll in the hay a couple times a week or more? i've never been one to turn it down. but if you ever watch animals, it certainly isn't fun. cats claw, bite, scream, shriek. dogs bite, scream, cry. ever hear of a "rape stand" for pit bulls? horses tear each other to pieces leaving horrible scars. cattle are so dangerous to each other that most ranchers do artificial insemination, and most race horses owners do it that way too so as to avoid injury to their animals.
take a look at the puppy section of the MDAS page. most of those puppies are dead today. none of them are over 6mos old. they were killed because the owners of their parents were thoughtless, careless, lazy, or wanted to have "a wonderful family experience". watch a damn video! want a moving experience, hold one of these babies as it dies on a cold steel table in a strange place w/a hundred strange dogs screaming and barking in the other room.
i go to sleep at night and i watch these little dark eyes passing one pair at a time. i hear tiny toenails tapping away on the stones. i hear whimpering in the dark. i reach out my hand and all i feel is a wisp of a passing cool breeze. they're gone. they're all gone because not enough people are responsible enough to give a shit for anything or anyone but their own convenience.
i'm tired.
