The SPCA newsletter often highlights pets which are abandoned because they have fallen sick. An adorable puppy was chased away because it developed a tumour and was forced to drag the bulbous growth around. Ironically, the situation wouldn't have worsened if the owners had sought medical care early. Luckily, the SPCA was able to save the puppy. Neutering is another mainframe issue.
Some schools of thought suggest that neutering is inhumane.
It's like debating whether prevention is better than cure. Neutering should be considered seriously because the population of cats and dogs grows by leaps and bounds. If someone has a pet, he or she should consider neutering, unless he is ready to care for a litter or has made arrangements for the newborns to have good homes. Even veterinarians urge pet owners to consider neutering. It is the best thing to do if you want to reduce the suffering undergone by unwanted and abandoned animals.
