the cat and I'm cutting its balls off. Is it a vasectomy or castration that is performed? -mhd |

But I'll tell ya, I live in an area where Catholicism runs deep, and there is a serious problem convincing people that the logical, humane thing to do for all is to get one's cat spayed/neutered. I am certain some of these folks also think like the original poster: That neutering a male cat is exactly the same as castrating a human. Not so. So I think people ought to be serious here. I know one, seemingly bright, 30-ish, gainfully employed young man in particular who refuses to neuter/spay his cats (more than one!), and I'm at a loss to find the right words to persuade him, his convictions run so deep. I'm at the point where I don't want to spend any time around him, because this is just so danged ignorant of him. So don't make it any tougher... Three cents. |

He'll be happier and safer now without his cajones. W Angry women always say that ... I get the humor, and I'm sure many others do, too. Thank God. ;^) But I'll tell ya, I live in an area where Catholicism runs deep, and there is a serious problem convincing people that the logical, humane thing to do for all is to get one's cat spayed/neutered. I am certain some of these folks also think like the original poster: That neutering a male cat is exactly the same as castrating a human. Considering the child molesting priests, the Vatican should make an exception within the ranks and also start promoting marriage for priests. ;^) So I think people ought to be serious here. I know one, seemingly bright, 30-ish, gainfully employed young man in particular who refuses to neuter/spay his cats (more than one!), and I'm at a loss to find the right words to persuade him, his convictions run so deep. I'm at the point where I don't want to spend any time around him, because this is just so danged ignorant of him. There is a LOT of projection that goes on with pet ownership. I know a 7th Day Adventist family who will only feed their rotweilers Avoderm meatless dog food. Both dogs have had PROBLEMS including bone cancer that took the older one. But no cardiovascular problems or doggy breath! So don't make it any tougher... Personally, I believe pets are part of a veterinary industry experiment. What the heck is the greater good in a vaccination that results in oozing skin ulcers, liver malfunctions, short term kidney failure, lethargy, and even death? My point, don't buy every damned thing the vet offers. I also don't buy neutering the day after a kitten stops suckling. But that's what is being PUSHED by the animal sterilization industry. Maybe a few people recall the Vienna Boys Choir? Preserving prepubescent voices came at a price. But I digress. ;^/ |
