Is it ok to remove cats' testicles without their consent or dire medical need? Can't we just give them eg a vasectomy if we want to sterilise them?
When cats go into heat, it really stresses them out a lot if they can't do the deed. If they're not going to be breeding, they should be neutered or spayed for the same reasons others have pointed out
Not spaying and neutering can cause behavioural issues (marking territory, aggression)if the pet goes through puberty. So it's not just sterilisation.
Make up your own mind on whether that makes it ok or not though.
And it grants them a longer, healthier, and much happier life. If you can’t provide them mates to bonk and aren’t willing to help them raise their kids, the only ethical choices are to either (A) release them and hope they survive or (B) spay/neuter, because subjecting them to lifelong pon farr would be shitty.
I'm definitely pro spay and neuter personally. Another issue is unspayed female cats and dogs will have a period, and I dont think they'll be very accepting of tampons and pads. My neighbour thought she was gonna breed her dog, so she didn't spay it, and then basically had to follow around it cleaning up blood. She never bred anything either, she was a bit dim.
Or
C) don't get a personal entertainment slave.
Wait, decades wasted on pets and noone bothered to tell me I could have my own jester?
we built or imported the roads, pollution, cars, invasive species and the pets themselves. To truly return to nature we'd have to find every cat and take them back to Africa/Asia, and probably exterminate 99% of dogs, and then return to pre-stone age living
