She was questioning me for saying the cynical side of suspected some liberals had motives of gender fairness when it came to spaying and neutering. Then she makes a gender fairness argument about spaying and neutering. Pointing that out is hardly uncalled for.

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.

You also have to consider pack animal behaviour.

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.
