Why do we Spay and Neuter?
The Physical benefits- female intact dogs suffer from pyometra, cancer of the mammary glands and ovaries and sexually transmitted venereal tumours as well as the impact on their bodies from multiply pregnancies. Males suffer from prostate and testicular cancer and as well as venereal tumours.
Social Benefits – males are less likely to roam looking for a mate and less likely to fight other male dogs because of the reduction in Testosterone. Reduction of animals on the streets is beneficial for numerous reasons including the likelihood of broken bones from accidents with traffic, starvation, diseases such as parvovirus and distemper.
Environmental benefits – periodically dogs are rounded up by the council and taken to the public shelters where parvovirus and distemper is rife, and pregnancies can flourish unmanaged. Dogs fight each other constantly and are deliberately starved to death as a way of managing the population in the shelter.
All these situations can be avoided by a very simple operation for just $25, rescuing dogs and cats is not enough, Animal Spay and Neuter International treats the problem at its source by stopping the suffering at its very roots by spaying and neutering as many animals as possible. Neuter and Spay,No more Strays.
