Considering that it's much harder to fix females than males
Vivien Send a noteboard - 28/03/2011 10:07:47 PM
Wanting to fix only or mostly females is the true radical sentiment. Why do you think it's so much more wrong to deprive males than females of their sexuality?

Louisiana has a bit more on its plate than adorable animals.

No doubt, and I respect that; it's tightening the budget by killing animals that bothers me.

Feral dogs are dangerous and destructive. It's not really an option.

I don't know that they are, at least, not any more so than feral cats or feral teens.

About as many as it would've taken from a Cocker Spaniel or a Chihuahua.

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

Yeah, it's similar to arguing against antiterrorism by saying we haven't been recently attacked.

It's not even certain that's lowering the stray population, but there are still enough for packs.

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.
