Cut Off The Nuts Or Fucking Kill Them.
I've never really understood where anti spay/neutering people are coming from. The idea of euthanizing a poor bastard pet scares the crap out of me, yet a little surgical correction is no big deal. For example, the town in East Texas in which I resided had a monthly flea market, where tons of people would converge to shill shit to each other. Amongst said shit? Animals. Joe Bob Podunk couldn't sell off that damn blue-tick cattle dog that he wanted to get rid of?
Screw it, he'd just drive into the backwoods of the locale, kick it out, and drive back home 40 miles away, safe and sound and free of said annoyance. If the wife bitched, he sold it. If she asked where the money was, he had to get gas for the truck. Simple as that.
Meanwhile, there's a new stray roaming the countryside every week, randomly sport-fucking every single un-spayed female, most of whom would end up giving birth to unexpected litters of bastard puppies who would undoubtedly suffer the same fate as their father, and so it goes.
People look at it as inhumane, I look at it as population control. They're animals, plain and simple, and no amount of "b-b-b-but he looks at me and I can tell he's saying hi" can take away from the fact that they shit and piss outside, walk on four legs, and eat their own poop. Like all other animals (read: deer, other wildlife and game), there is a certain degree of necessity for population control, hence hunting seasons. Spaying and neutering? A humane way of avoiding said hunting seasons. The animal in question still gets to live, maybe a little emasculated/(insert whatever the female equivalent of emasculation is here..."efemulated"?), but overall none the wiser.
Still gets to dip his pecker, still gets to catch a bone every once in a while, but doesn't have to deal with all the messy side effects of saggy dog/cat titties and annoying suckling mewling brats.
I've read countless articles about various South American countries and European countries that have a disgustingly huge amount of stray animals roaming around. They're emaciated, uncared for, starving, yet still manage to keep fucking and breeding more generations of starved, suffering animals that lead an existence not so far removed from that of their predecessors (before said predecessors get hit by a car or die of starvation), save for one or two of them being rescued by a kindly soul who needs a pet to rely on.
And most people are responsible pet owners. However, many people are most definitely fucking not responsible pet owners who shouldn't be allowed to grow sea monkeys, much less handle a dog or cat. Just because you're conscientious and responsible enough to make sure that your pet is properly controlled does not escape the fact that there are a metric shitload of irresponsible dumbass pet owners who really don't give a shit about their pet unless it's licking peanut butter off of their unmentionables, and said pets end up being offed in the most frightening conditions possible for an animal.
What do you think is more disturbing for an animal: realizing that one day "Hey, my dick doesn't get other things like me pregnant, oh well.../I'm not swelling up with a belly-full of puppies" or "Oh shit, I'm being snared by some random yelling two-legger, dragged into a place that I don't understand that's surrounded by equally scared-shitless animals like me, thrown into a cramped cage where I sleep in my own piss and shit because I'm not used to this, then dragged out to have a goddamn needle stabbed in me and then everything just kinda fades away and I'm suddenly chasing rabbits on fish/beef-flavored clouds?"
Sorry to get all ranty, but this is one of the issues that gets me fired up.
And before anyone asks, yes, I do support humans getting neutered and spayed as well. Like Bill Hicks so succinctly posed the argument years ago, we're a fucking virus with shoes. We're raping the planet, and we shouldn't have to shoulder animals with that same indecency just because we don't want them to feel a tiny bit of surgical discomfort compared to being shot full of sodium pentothal and incinerated in a shitty backwater clinic.
Fuck.
