Yes, it is easier to kill animals than have them roaming the streets.

Dead dogs won't break things or attack people.
At last, I have an apostrophe!

a vasectomy would probably cost more than neutering but still be simpler than being spayed

Sounds like the difference would be negligible either way, but the results far more positive.
