Why is neutering animals (pet cats for example) considered acceptable? Anyone who owns a pet should treat them as they would treat a child. Guess what happens when you neuter your child? You go to jail.


Unfortunately the difference is that humans go not go around in the middle of the night having sex randomly with other humans without taking precautions. How do you tell a cat to take the pill?

Besides, Cats seem to nearly always be on. Would you prefer to be over run with feral cats and dogs instead? Just look at what has happened to the fox population in towns. Brian

Well it a question that children would ask, is it not?

I wonder what a feline chastity belt would look like? Come on lighten up its a bit of light relief. I'd rather have this than long drawn out threads about politics which nobody ever agrees on. Brian

Never experienced Newcastle night life then ?

I suppose they could do a vasectomy on the males, but tomcats would still go around spraying their urine everywhere.

Would they? Surely with being vasectomised (Wd?) they would stop all aggressive behaviuor including marking their territory.

No, they will still have testosterone. Does a human that has a vasectomy change their behavior and physiology?

They don't do a vasectomy though, they cut their balls off. Different results.

It's not up to us to change their ways. You wouldn't like it if a cat did it to you. Humans need to stop playing god.

Indeed. For tomcats, it decreases their urge to roam, causing less conflict with other cats and with vehicles, reducing injuries and deaths and increasing their lifespan - so it is not without benefit for the individual cat.

The difference is a human can answer the question "do you want it?" A cat cannot. So what we do to cats is the same as doing it to a human without asking.

There is one for dogs. It seems to be some kind of belt stopping the penis from penetrating, but they can still "have sex" and enjoy it.

If you believe that, you don't deserve to have a pet. What you've got there is a farm animal.

They deserve to live their lives as they wish, which includes sex.

Unwanted by who? Selfish humans? I doubt the animals mind.

We need to neuter a lot. 7 billion is an unworkable population. Why do people keep on adding to it?

I doubt a man would volunteer to be castrated to stop him from getting involved in fights.

Real men train them

Indeed, another stupid thing people do.

They shouldn't. I only know of one person that sort of does that, the cat is nervous of traffic or something, it actually doesn't want to go out. I was stood at her door for 10 minutes chatting and the cat just sat in the doorway.
