‘Whether my animals remain reproductively equipped is MY business, not the GD’d goverment! ‘
That attitude is admirable til you go to a kill shelter, where unwanted dogs are put down each and every day.
No one regrets that more than I do. And for the record, I did sterilize both of my dogs. HOWEVER, I reserve my right to make those decisions for myself -- the nanny government be damned! I am not responsible for the irresponsibility of others. Let's look at a more serious issue -- there are millions of unwed mothers. Should young women therefore be sterilized as a preventative measure? It is the same principle.
