I thikn its a great idea. too many are getting put down. Though I think every pet should be neutered unless they are to a licensed breeder and even they should be limited to what they do. _________________

Not all kinds of pets have licensed breeders, and forcing people to get licensed if you want to breed them would result in a enormous slowing of the hobby.
Also, not all kinds of pets can be neutered... without killing the animal, I mean. _________________ Go Yankees! |

I see nothing bad about the drop in the hobby, we dont need as much as we have right now.
also, yeah i know. i cant really neuter my birds. but the big problem right now is with cats/dogs. :/ _________________

A drop in the hobby means nothing for dog/cat/bird/small mammal owners, but pet stores very rarely carry anything with more than four legs, and ones that do typically only have a few species.
When I move to Utah/New Mexico to a different apartment that doesn't have a no-pets rule, I'll be ordering all my bugs online from people who breed them as a hobby, not as a job. _________________ Go Yankees! |

I didn't say that spaying/neutering was animal cruelty. I just believe animal cruelty in general is just wrong, like hitting your dog for no reason or not giving it enough food. |

You have to be human to be part of a family?

I think that It should, I love my pets and they are family to me *hugs cat* but they are all spayed and neutered. And there are a lot of strays dieing out there that are due to lost or abandoned pets reproduceing. And if people want to breed, they will need to get premits. :) |

Legally they are, but you don't fucking own it. It's a living being. _________________ ゚ ヮ゚ |

If you don't own it, then why are you keeping it hostage in your house? _________________ Go Yankees! |

I got a good laugh out of this
On topic, pets are legally yours. But just because your kids and spouse are listed under you as dependents doesn't mean you own them. You treat them with love and equality, just like you do with a pet. _________________ "You do know the stuff in diet and sugar-free foods kills you faster, right?"

What you said gave me a good laugh too.
Pets, along with all animals, are not equal to humans. They are below humans, but that doesn't mean it's okay to treat it bad or abuse it. Owning a pet takes responsiblilty and if you meet those responsibilities, where i'm from, you will be fined or sent to jail. I don't know how you dragged spouses and children into this, but this is a topic about dogs. Also, If I had known this article was going to envoke the wrath PETA, I probably would have never created it, but I can't say i'm suprised. |
