It's crazy to me how we have made up words like 'neutering' or 'spaying' or 'desexing' or 'fixing' just to dance around the real word for what we do to our pets which would be castration. i know that it's not good to just have dogs running around creating mutt puppies everywhere but i think it's morally wrong to get your dog castrated and there's no way around that. they are living beings, not our slaves.

Nobody cares that you want to look at your dogs dangling balls and have him piss all over your house

I won't castrate my female dogs
She's 2 years old and got her heat 3 times, I'm just carefull and don't her without a leash during 5 weeks
>>

neutering is castration though, technically its more dehumanizing because the origin of the words is "not either", as in not either man or woman, but castration specifically refers to removal of testicles, which is why you cant use it for bitches
>>
>>5052247
gatekeeping them is just as unnatural
unbred unfixed female will get pyometra

People are selfish and entitled and want to have their cake and eat it too. Animal lovers don't castrate animals because it's slightly more convenient for them

Stop anthropomorphising dogs, they don't miss their reproductive organs in the slightest.
>>5052352
It's a lot more convenient for dogs without pent up hormonal frustrations plus reduced risk of reproductive cancers and diseases.

>dogs don't miss their reproductive organs
How would you know?

Would you chop your own balls off just so you didn't have the risk of testicular cancer?

Intact large dogs are healthier than neutered large dogs. The hormones are used to regulate bone/joint health and suppress certain non-heritable cancers. Issues associated with the gonads are heritable and likely related to breeding for unnaturally high fertility.

This does not apply to small dogs or cats because there is less stress on their skeleton and immune system. Small dogs and cats do not benefit from their gonads at all. They are also dumber and harder (small dogs) or impossible (cats) to train out of behaviors like marking and dominance aggression. The exceptions are daschunds and bassets, because of the added stress their dysgenic and abusive breed standards put on their joints.

spay is an older word than castrate, anon.
and in any case, most of those are just more technical terms, denoting specifically castration of (fe)male animals as opposed to humans
which is based, different terms for humans and other animals is the ideal state.

if i have to use human terms for 75 iq atavisms i am using human terms for a dog

Shut the fuck up you retarded subhuman

I'm not even sure why brown people own animals because it seems like they almost always abuse and neglect them
>>

I knew one black guy whose intact bitches never had puppies but kept getting sick and dying because the vet was too expensive. Something about "dat uterus shit" so i guessed pyometra. He asked me how to prevent it without spaying, i told him about ovary sparing spays or just breeding his dog, and the next pibble he got is still with him.

I wonder what was going on. Bad genetics? OSS surgeries are like $5k and so is a pyometra surgery. Dude was a retard and pitbulls strike me as incredibly unhealthy dogs.

So i guess i helped one black guy be a less shitty dog owner
