Bias and hypocricy of views

If that were a real situation, that dog still didn't ask to turn out that way. It shouldn't be killed. That would be a temperment flaw yes, so being to that extreme (or whatever the fault may be) if that is being passed on then maybe the dog/dogs producing such a fault just shouldn't be bred, if they are producing puppies so bad someone feels the need to kill them. That is certainly not the desired result of breeding.

So when that fearful dog bites some kid, it's OK, because the dog didn't ask to be that way? Now you are sued, your dog is killed anyway, and some kid is hurt. Should the person who has a fearful dog never let it around anyone? What if the person doesn't realize they have a fearful dog and think the showing of teeth, hackles up, head down, looking at you from the corner of it's eyes, tail tucked is how a dog shows protection?

Chorus about benefits of spaying and neutering is driven by politics and animal rightist ideology. It is not based on scientific data, as those proponents claim.

It is simply a question of convenience. Some people like to keep surgically modified animals, such as desexed, with removed vocal cords, removed claws, etc.

Um, I sterilised my animals because I wanted to, not because some politician made me. I do not like intact animals living with me. I prefer them to not have the associated issues.

What are the associated issues with intact animals?

Female dogs- heat, kinda nasty.
Male cats- spraying, you'll need to put in new drywall, that's how pungent it is.
Male dogs- hard on every 15 minutes/every time they sit. Only noticed this with intact males. Disturbs company.

Tom cat fighting and the spread of feline lukemia should be as big of a concern as spraying. I would not in anyway own a tomcat. THeir life is hell. I saw one the other day..ears missing, thick cheeks using puss. A horrible life.
I have had intact male dogs all my life that did not mark in the home or in the yard where i did not want them to. NOr did they do this anywhere i took them.

i thought humping was a dominance thing , not a sex thing.

It can simply be a "im excited and don't know how to express it" thing...

most of the serial humpers (like the kind that will stop at nothing (even pain) to hump other dogs) I've met weren't socialized with other dogs (som' not at all) they are unaware of how to act socially...they can be friendly, and soo excited to see the other dog that it arouses them and they don't know how to handle that social excitement.

At least that is my understanding and what I've observed. I've seen non humpers mount dogs in the middle of a very exciting, friendly situation.

Oddly enough, we own two intact males and they never, ever hump each other. Ever. I was totally surprised because I expected some to happen, but it doesn't.

On the other hand, when my aunt's spayed female poodle mix comes to visit, she tries her hardest to hump both boys. Just weird.

And they don't get hard ons every 15 minutes. Not even close. It happens so rarely I don't even notice.

question..do you use fly wipe to keep the flies from eating off the tips of their ears? I am assuming you have flies where you live. I don't think anyone is really exempt from them. THat is a preventative. ANd you say you feed them. Why do you not expect them to kill their own food if you insist that they live a wild life? DO you clip nails? IF you do not remove the dewclaw that is necessary no matter what they run on. I am just curious? What about eye injury? IS the dog expected to go on with one eye since there is no vet care...even tho it could be treated easily? WHat if they need stitches? Do you do that yourself? WHat difference is it between your doing it or a vet?

My male intact dogs have never humped anyone past 3 months old. It is a behavior i put a stop to. Just because they are intact is no excuse. I have seen neutered males that are horrid about it that belonged to other people. So I don't think that means anything as to being neutered or not.
