He's kind of going to extremes. Will just 1 male dog really be able to go all over the world and impregnate all the stray female dogs? Most likely he's confined to a single neighborhood.
Think of it from the perspective of individual responsibility. If you have a female dog and you don't spay it you'll be the one who'll be responsible for taking care of her puppies. However if you have a male dog if the dog ever gets out you have no idea if that dog impregnated some stray female dog somewhere. The point is, you are responsible for those puppies and you have no way of knowing if they even exist.
Now, I'm not saying I even agree with spaying and neutering in all cases *but* if you are pro spaying it makes no sense not to also be pro neutering. It's like vaccines- it's wrong to rely on everyone else doing it and giving you the herd immunity.
