why do dogs have to be unconcious to be sterilized? we never did for calves & shoats to be steered or barred. heck we even did it to grown wild boars in spring & summer so they would be better eating in the fall (back before the hog population exploded). i know old timers that did their own dogs and didn't knock them out first just tied them up good.

Probably because I care if my dog is in pain or not and would do what I could to prevent unecessary pain...

I considered the option for Bandit but in the end just got him neutered. I wouldn't be pleased had a vet told me it was simply silly. That would make me feel like they thought of me as a small child and even then I'd hope no one would respond to a child asking a question that way.

because most of us try to treat our dogs humanely.

They partially knock out horses. When my friends colt was gelded the vet did it in the indoor arena. She gave a shot to knock him down and a shot to knock him out--not actual anesthetic though, and did right there. She said that her BF was a small animal vet and thought it was barbaric that they didn't geld horses in an operating room like dogs....BUT they didn't do it without any kind of meds-that seems unnecessarily cruel to me....
