Why do many people moan when people dont get their pets fixed?

So many people moan on YA! about getting ya cat or dog fixed because of the increase of unwanted pets in the RSPCA shelters etc... then why dont they preach that women or men in 3rd world countries should be fixed due to poverty, HIV, malnutrition and the life expectancy of a child being extemely young?Why do many people moan when people dont get their pets fixed?Because animals depend on us to make the right decisions for them. It is our responsibility to prevent ovarian and testicular cancer in our pets by fixing, it is our responsibility to make sure sickly puppies are not born to dogs that should never have been bred in the first place by fixing, and it is our responsibility to make sure the world does not have any more than the already tragically high number of unwanted pets by fixing. To do any less is irresponsible.



Humans can and must make their own decisions. A human can say, "I will not have children." but an animal can't. They are driven by instinct when it comes to sex, and they will breed and breed if allowed to. A human can say, "no more," but a dog can't. It is up to us as responsible pet owners to say it for them, to protect their health and the pet population at large.Why do many people moan when people dont get their pets fixed?
Because in your local shelter there are 60 cats, there are 5 shelters in your area and shelters cover the whole country. Do the maths. And this is for the sake of the 拢20 that it takes to neuter a cat. All my cats are rescued and neutered.



Although I am worried that you compare animal neutering with the rights of humans to have dignity, choice and freedom, you are right in that it is important to be aware of all issues that we face our world today (including the environment). As you mentioned the third world, there are many organisations that would love your support, even if its just financially. If you feel that you have (or can learn) the skills to help people that's great they would love volunteers. I've put some links below to some organisations that I support personally.Why do many people moan when people dont get their pets fixed?I DO!! And its not just third world countries that should stop breeding the crap I see. People suck they no longer have an ability to process information and learn from previous mistakes. They shouldn't breed!!!



If one kid is dumber than a box of rocks don't have anymore!!!



If you are dumber than a box of rocks then you shouldn't have kids!!Why do many people moan when people dont get their pets fixed?
AN ANIMAL TRUSTS AND DEPENDS ON YOU,IF YOU ARE NOT POSESSED OF THESE QUALLITIES, THEN YOU ARE WORTH NOTHING ,AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO KEEP A PET.AS FOR MANS INHUMANITY TO HIS FELLOW MAN,WHY CHANGE THE HABITS OF A SPECIES??ANYONE CAN MOAN AND CRITICISE,VERY FEW EVER DO ANYTHING.Why do many people moan when people dont get their pets fixed?We can't control what people do. we can control what our pets do. If you are going to take on the responsibility of getting a pet, then you need to take care of it. getting a pet spayed or neutered is healthier for them. Many live longer more quality lives. Again there are so many pets in shelters because people don't neuter or spay there pets. Why let your pet go through the trauma of pregnancy and birth just so there kittens, puppies....can go sit in a kennel at a shelter and most likely be euthanized. Our pets deserve better than that.
maybe they do but it is not appropriate to express this when talking about animals in Yahoo Q %26amp; A the two subjects are not related and. both come under the heading education, but it is easier to advise when a problem is brought to your attention and not when it is 1000s miles away.Why do many people moan when people dont get their pets fixed?
The reason why pets need to be fixed is because they can't rationally think, oh, if I have puppies/kittens they'll have to be rehomed etc etc etc.



People in 3rd world countries are being taught to use condoms to protect themselves from overpopulation.



Do you really expect someone to go to all the 3rd world countries and fix all the people?
your right and the world is trying to do this through educating people its a slow process , but its the only one human rites will let us use.Why do many people moan when people dont get their pets fixed?
not sure why you are comparing human disease with pets being fixed ? but anyway i agree completely with people moaning about getting them done and just letting them breed and over breed.

there is a problem with rescues being overrun with unwanted pets and babies , but i think that there should be tighter laws on pet buying, its too easy to go into a shop and buy a cute little pet!
Tuh, half the people I know going on about getting animals spayed or neutered have at one time or another mentioned that people in 3rd world countries should do the same thing to themselves when they've had 2 kids. Don't really think it's the same thing though. People aren't going around having babies put down.
i agree with amanda
Animals don't understand anything about population explosions and are only following hormonal instincts. If they lived wild they wouldn't breed if there was no territory and food available! Nature controls the wild populations. Only one female dog in the wild breeds but A pet animal can produce a lot of offspring in its life-time and those off-spring are mature enough to breed in months not years as in the case of humans. We CAN and SHOULD control the population.

People are not animals and the breeding cycle is different. Those in the third world are very lucky if their off-spring make it to maturity, and I'm sure if they had all the benefits you enjoy without even thinking about it they would control their populations accordingly. Perhaps it is us in the West who should be fixed? We don't need to have the number of children we do!
Forget the problems of the third world, why do we keep pets?



Take next doors cat, it kills all the birds in my garden, it will kill frogs, small rodents and insects too, it is an environmental nightmare. Its not as if it is eating the damn creatures, it bloody murder, and I know that it is well fed, because it also then cra-ps in my garden too.



The owner just said, 'oh, its marking its terrortory' but it is not his terrotory, its mine, and I don't want if full of the cats cr=ap. I told her, that how would she feel if I came around to her house, ate her pet zebra finches, and crap-ed in her sink? I said I would shoot the bloody cat if she did not fit it with a bell to scare off the wild life, because it was damaging the ecco system in my garden... I await to see what she has done...
Because 3rd world countries have their own sets of values and beliefs that will take a LONG time to change. Superstitions are still more valuable than education in a lot of places. When the USA goes in to try and help/fix things, we're accused of being an imperialistic country and it gets the global community all riled up.



As residents of a civilized country, its our responsibility to take care of our animals and act in their best interests.
I do agree with you...it should not be so one sided. However, this section is on pets. Maybe you should look in to it a little more in one of the other sections of ya.



I also think men and/or women in the US should have guidelines on reproduction. We have just as many unwanted, uncared for, abused, and neglected children here. They should be our first priority!
If you own a dog or cat its your responsability to keep it healthy and happy. And thats it.
Because animals die.



It's cruel not to fix them.



Who cares about 3rd world countries? Problems here in the US should be a priority.



Kids grow up to be like thier parents, anyway. What's the point.
