As a sidebar, I've never understood how someone who loves animals could encourage neutering. I mean, their usual standard is to ask if you would do the same thing to a human, and I have to imagine the answer for that would be no.

Kimbell, I totally agree with you here. It tilts me when people yap on and on about how horribly cruel declawing is (whether you agree with that or not), but destroying their manhood is completely fine? Seems inconsistent.

i think neutering is fine because it helps manage an out-of-control population. how many strays are put down every year? gotta be in the millions. i've never read anything that says animals neutered at a young age have any behavioral or cognitive trauma beyond the surgery itself. (neutering a sexually mature cat may cause problems, however).
i think if you're going to have pets, you should get them as strays / from a shelter.
