Juju...I don't know what I know and what I don't know anymore. I guess I figured "if" you could tell your dog that he would be safer (not running around after females in heat getting hit by cars, getting lost in the process, getting into fights with other males, getting injured by the guy whos female he is trying to screw, etc.) by being neutered that this my not sound so bad to some of them. Since we unfortunately don't know what our pets are "thinking" I can't say that I'm 100% "sure" that they would agree. I can only assume that they would prefer to be home, safe, fed, and loved as opposed to running around after females, getting lost, possibly being injured, with no food or shelter. Maybe that's stupid, idiotic, ridiculous, whatever, but that's my opinion. [/b]

And your entitled to it. You seem to be taken aback by the resistance to what you thought was a given. Most people will agree in principle, with the merits of spay/neuter, even if they don't practice it. There will always be people, especially on the anonymous internet, that will argue anything, sometimes convincingly.
But the fact remains, that pets are our responsibility to care for. They're not too smart or they wouldn't look up to humans.
The spay/neuter program is not some human whim, but a sound, logical and proven way to improve the health and welfare of our pets. Idealogical arguments be damned, it works.
