- Just one litter
and then we'll have Fluffy spayed.
(Studies show that virtually the entire pet overpopulation stems
from the "just one litter mentality".)
- My dog doesn't
run loose, so he doesn't need to be fixed. (Murphy's Law says
otherwise.)
- We always find
homes for the kittens.
(And that means that an equal number of kittens at the pound
will be killed.)
- I want the children
to witness the miracle of birth. (Rent a video.)
- My dog is so cute
and unique, there should be more of her. (The shelters and pounds
are full of cute and unique dogs, most with only a few days
to live.)
- It's not natural.
(There hasn't been anything "natural" about dogs since we began
to develop breeds thousands of years ago.)
- I just couldn't
look my dog in the eye if I had him castrated. (Watch it, you're
anthropomorphizing.)
- A female dog or
cat should have at least one litter for health reasons. (Medically,
factually and ethically indefensible.)
- Neutering my dog
will make him fat and lazy.
(Too much food and not enough exercise make a dog fat and lazy.)
- Fixing my pet will
change its personality.
(The main influences on an animal's personality are the kindness
and care with which it is raised.)
