      humans can not show that the benefits of neutering outweigh the risks. most studies are low quality. for example dogs do not live shorter lives in countries where neutering is illegal, implying confounding cultural variables in american studies saying neutered dogs lived longer. in an american study on unaltered females, dogs were not segregated by breed, and not spaying was associated with mammary cancer. a european study found that there was no correlation except for certain breeds, such as german shepherds, labrador retrievers, and golden retrievers, and those dogs. some breeds actually had lower mammary cancer rates when left intact. furthermore, multiple studies have correlated neutering at an early age with multiple musculoskeletal disorders and torn ligmanets, and neutering at any age with osteosarcoma, lymphoma, hemangiosarcoma, mast cell tumors, hypothyroidism, numerous autoimmune idsorders, urinary incontinence, and epilepsy. the only severe, life ending disorder associated with intact dogs is pyometra in intact females, the risk of which can be eliminated by an ovary sparing spay, a sterilization procedure that does not alter anything but the dog's fertility.

      you should really just leave dogs reproductive organs alone unless they're an immediate problem. it's not like you'd treat us any differently since everyone has to follow the same leash laws if their dog is spayed or not. when a health issue is not so clear cut as removing a tumor would be, we doubt that even adult humans can fully consent to something as radical as arbitrary removal of the gonads without intensive education and therapy. desiring gonadectomy without a pressing disorder it would immediately cure has been declared a mental disorder in the past, and to sane people, still is.

      are we gonna have to dig up the studies showing that mammary cancer risk is breed specific as well?

      maybe instead of fricking with animals bodies because you consider their natural adult behaviors inconvenient you just shouldn't take care of animals
      >unwanted litters!
      if you are incapable of keeping your dog separated from the world and vice versa when you can't be there to ensure adherence to the law, you just shouldn't own a dog.

      dogs should not be neutered unless the pertinent organs are diseased. dogs are people. if you would not do it to a person, do not do it to a dog, and if you would do it to a person, do it to a dog.

    I hate it when people say no to this but then forbid their animal to hump anything. Imagine being a horny teenager and never being allowed or even able to bust a nut. Literally just give them a designated thing to hump and put it away if people are over. If you can't stand the thought of your pooch being sexual so much that you'd opt to cut off their nuts instead of just letting them hump a pillow of their own you shouldn't get a dog in the first place.

      if they did not consent to being your pet they would just jump the fence once they had the opportunity and run away. if they do love you and want to stay with you, they choose to do that. any healthy dog can get over 6-8 feet of fencing if they want to.

      it gets unethical when you breed them into total morons, lumbering cripples, and pathetic midgets like borzoi, bulldogs, and chihuahuas, then they really don't get a choice and might not even be aware of their situation. or worse, keep them tied up at all times so they can't even escape your tyranny.

      There is no genetic difference between dogs and wolves. They are the same species. Their shit and piss is the same. The ecosystem is far better adapted to canines than it is to anything else.

      Once abandoned dogs rapidly re-evolve into wolves within a dozen generations. They are natural animals currently filling an unnatural role in human society. The only unnatural thing here. And in human society they have nothing to piss on but grass that never belonged there either.

      If you are worried about what is unnatural and what is not, place a shotgun in your mouth so it is aimed at your brainstem and pull the trigger. After you decompose a bit your dog will accept that your body is an empty husk and never waking up. They will eat you like any sane creature would, and then go on and their species will return to its natural state.

    if you think robbing an animal of its freedom to make it your pet is ok, then castrating it should pale in comparison. the only reason you even ask this question is because you think castration is abhorrent. animals however don't give a frick apart from the pain after the operation, they aren't sentimental about their balls/ovaries. removing them isn't like removing a leg, because removing a leg doesn't improve the animal's quality of life.

      That's why everyone shills the ovary sparing spay over the american spay. Or, if your dog isn't a pitbull, breed them twice over their life. Every single dog of a good breed born and adopted to a family is one more shitbull creature rotting in a shelter.

        don't get mixed sex pairs of animals if you don't want them to breed.

        if no one had more than one or two dogs my neighborhood would be a much quieter, cleaner, and safer place. no one is actually capable of taking care of 3 or more animals. all of these miniature packs are a mix of males and females (whatever shelters and craigslist crackheads had available). taking care of an intact dog is harder than taking care of a mutilated dog as well so if no one spayed or neutered it would be 0 to 1 dogs per household. less dogs also means less puppies.

        He's wrong. Pyometra rates are <10% for most breeds. But, others, like collies, are way over 25%, skewing the overall statistic. Spayed dogs with cervical remnants can also get it because it's not estrus that causes it but a gradual thickening of uterine and cervical tissue that occurs regardless unless they have puppies.

        You can juts remove the uterus and cervix without the ovaries and pyometra is then only as possible in a spayed dog. Wolf sanctuaries do it all the time because it lets wolves "breed" and form a proper pack structure with an alpha pair without making more wolves. Also, apparently, if an infertile male mates with an intact female, the semen goes rancid and causes pyometra because they retain semen for 10+days to fertilize as many eggs as possible.

      a dog can not consent to having its balls removed, permanently altering his hormone levels, predisposing him to numerous disorders that are too expensive for his owner to treat and likely to severely reduce his quality of life, all because his owner is too fricking lazy to invest in a leash, a fence, and a bag of steak bits and possibly, possibly, not leave their dog outside unattended 8-10 hours a day. it's just basic morality. which is why it's illegal in civilized countries (ie: norway) but encouraged in notoriously barbaric ones (ie: los estados unidos).

          Do you understand informed consent? A dog can not consent to what it can not understand. Simple things like petting, leashing, and feeding are plainly apparent to any animal. Life altering surgeries and other weird shit done with their organs posing any health risks, are totally beyond their comprehension. They can't consent, so unless it is to save their life it is unethical.

          The only thing worse than not respecting consent for a clear cut case of their own good (your dog wants over the fence, but will be taken/killed for it) is doing something nefarious that someone can't consent to at all.

          >That's the point
          The point is you're doing harm because you, simply put, should not own a dog. If neutering matters to you you're the kind of person who never follows leash laws, neglects their dogs, never trains their dogs, and never takes them to a vet.

          >False dichotomy
          You MUST follow leash laws. This is not an argument to have. Your dog understand what the leash does when they're hooked on to it. You SHALL NOT have your dog at large. That is illegal. Your dog is likely to be killed or taken from you and locked in a cage that will make your yard look gigantic.

          >The opposite. It greatly reduces the risk of various disorders.
          Which are often rare, breed specific, and often best cured by neutering much later in life when the hormone drop doesn't affect them as much. While increasing the risk of various other disorders which are severe and often life ending. The opinion of actual experts, not yokel vets and americans, is that if you do not intend to breed at all, the best options are a vasectomy or an ovary sparing spay.

                you should really just leave dogs reproductive organs alone unless they're an immediate problem. it's not like you'd treat us any differently since everyone has to follow the same leash laws if their dog is spayed or not. when a health issue is not so clear cut as removing a tumor would be, we doubt that even adult humans can fully consent to something as radical as arbitrary removal of the gonads without intensive education and therapy. desiring gonadectomy without a pressing disorder it would immediately cure has been declared a mental disorder in the past, and to sane people, still is.

                So how about we just put dogs down so they can't attack each other while we're at it? Oh yeah sure you wouldn't want yourself put down buddy, sure, but think of how much suffering you're preventing, for sure! Some people might say "just be a good dog owner lol" but in the end they are better dead lol.

                and why don't we spay and neuter humans? crime would go down. so would overpopulation, which would help the environment.

          spay and neuter policies exist specifically because people dont act like its a developed country. hence why it’s mandatory in LA.

          if you need to neuter a dog you should not have a dog. just put it down so we don’t have to hear the barking.

      The connotation of saying that someone is "anthropomorphizing" their pet is that they can't tell the difference between human and dog, or maybe even have some sort of sick furry fetish. You are trying to stigmatize the other argument so people are afraid to take it, which is a dirty rhetorical trick--sophistry at best--but not a real argument. I assume you learned it by imitating failed politicians.

      if you think robbing an animal of its freedom to make it your pet is ok, then castrating it should pale in comparison. the only reason you even ask this question is because you think castration is abhorrent. animals however don't give a frick apart from the pain after the operation, they aren't sentimental about their balls/ovaries. removing them isn't like removing a leg, because removing a leg doesn't improve the animal's quality of life.
      i mean fine if you want your pet intact, but you better not let it frick around

      >if you think robbing an animal of its freedom to make it your pet is ok, then castrating it should pale in comparison.
      Dogs are a subspecies of gray wolf that evolved alongside pre-modern humans in northern Europe as a companion animal over tens of thousands of years. They are not a wild animal any more than a human is. They are the only animal (at least the only non-primate) that can instinctively both understand and express human-compatible facial emotion, as well as one of the only animals that can learn to look where a human is pointing or looking. If you think a dog being kept by a human has been "robbed of its freedom," then you do not understand the first thing about them.

      >i have only heard "BRO I WOULDNT CUT OFF MY BALLS" as an argument and deny all others exist
      and it's not even a bad argument. basic empathy is a great argument.
      >why shouldn't i torture your dog to death?
      >would you want to be tortured to death? there's your answer.
      >stop anthropomorphizing animals!
      a dog can not consent to having its balls removed, permanently altering his hormone levels, predisposing him to numerous disorders that are too expensive for his owner to treat and likely to severely reduce his quality of life, all because his owner is too fricking lazy to invest in a leash, a fence, and a bag of steak bits and possibly, possibly, not leave their dog outside unattended 8-10 hours a day. it's just basic morality. which is why it's illegal in civilized countries (ie: norway) but encouraged in notoriously barbaric ones (ie: los estados unidos).

      Do you understand informed consent? A dog can not consent to what it can not understand. Simple things like petting, leashing, and feeding are plainly apparent to any animal. Life altering surgeries and other weird shit done with their organs posing any health risks, are totally beyond their comprehension. They can't consent, so unless it is to save their life it is unethical.

      The only thing worse than not respecting consent for a clear cut case of their own good (your dog wants over the fence, but will be taken/killed for it) is doing something nefarious that someone can't consent to at all.

      >That's the point
      The point is you're doing harm because you, simply put, should not own a dog. If neutering matters to you you're the kind of person who never follows leash laws, neglects their dogs, never trains their dogs, and never takes them to a vet.

      >False dichotomy
      You MUST follow leash laws. This is not an argument to have. Your dog understand what the leash does when they're hooked on to it. You SHALL NOT have your dog at large. That is illegal. Your dog is likely to be killed or taken from you and locked in a cage that will make your yard look gigantic.

      >The opposite. It greatly reduces the risk of various disorders.
      Which are often rare, breed specific, and often best cured by neutering much later in life when the hormone drop doesn't affect them as much. While increasing the risk of various other disorders which are severe and often life ending. The opinion of actual experts, not yokel vets and americans, is that if you do not intend to breed at all, the best options are a vasectomy or an ovary sparing spay.

      >Scandi hate
      Opinion disregarded.

      >a dog can not consent
      This is a stupid argument. Dogs can't consent to ANYTHING, since they are not capable of speaking human language or understanding literally anything at the same level as we do.

      The argument against castration is that with responsible pet ownership, it causes many unnecessary risks of health complications. The only cost is that you need to actually be a responsible pet owner, keep your dog in a fence and train it well. The only risk is that rednecks and Black folk will hear us responsible pet owners speaking among one another, and, not understanding the costs, decide not to castrate their dogs, resulting in unwanted litters of puppies or unexpected aggression.

        >Dogs can't consent to anything
        l2informed consent.
        They can consent to anything they can understand the consequences of, so any ongoing activity without future consequences or any activity without consequences at all.

        Otherwise it would be ethically rape to pet a dog, but it's an ongoing activity where the consequences are present and basically nonexistenct, and they can consent or refuse to walk on a leash just fine. What they can't consent to is anything that can cause future illness or injury, because they can't think far enough ahead to get that, and honestly humans don't even understand illness until taught and didn't for most of their history. So using a head halter that has the potential to hurt your dogs spine is abuse. If your dog is too stupid to know that your set too high shock collar is what's making them scream in pain, putting it on them is going against their capacity for consent. If something you goaded them into doing increased their risk of infection or injury they also would not be able to consent to that, because you would never be able to explain the added complexities. So a dog can't consent to an AI procedure and sign a disclosure that irritation from the catheters insertion may lead to prolonged pain and itching or a UTI or vaginosis. You have to let them just breed with other dogs naturally.

        People just don't like to think about this because they realize they ignore and proudly go against their dogs consent quite a bit and are animal abusers in some way.

          A 17-year-old human being can't legally consent--to anything, be it signing a purchase contract for a home, taking out a loan from a credit card company, having sex or being treated as an adult in our justice system. A six-month-old puppy, or even a 17-year-old dog that can't read, can't write, can't speak, can't understand language, and which is so stupid it barks at its own reflection in a mirror, can not consent to anything either. You don't get to attribute greater agency to a literal moron animal that eats shit from wild animals it found in the forest than to a human who can read, write and drive cars.

              Maybe take a minute and think about the stupid statement you just made. Our culture does not allow dogs to have the ability to legally consent to anything. We castrate them because they are legally considered something very close to property. They aren't purely property--we do have laws (and the culture to support them), which prevent cruel abuse--but in regard to castration, they are not ever expected to consent, if that were even possible, which it is not.

                Consent is a spiritual and moral concept. It only exists in law so law can parallel the spiritual.

                All morals are purely spiritual or purely selfish. Accept the spiritual or accept that you are an object with no more value than how worth the trouble you are to the law’s hired guns and anything done to you without your consent is right as long as no one gets arrested.

                To illustrate and elaborate:

                Spiritually, murder is wrong because God said it's wrong, and since God created humans and the universe, the possibility of God being wrong would undermine existence--an impossibility, since existence, and therefore God, and vice-versa, is absolute. Therefore murder is wrong.

                Legally, murder is wrong because it's defined as the malicious, unprovoked killing by one person of another person, and a system of government has written the law to be interpreted and enforced as such.

                Morally, murder is wrong because it violates self-ownership, it violates the non-aggression principle, is breaks the social contract, it is not universally preferable behavior, and any number of other non-secular arguments which can be made.

                Consent is only relevant for "meetings of the minds" (a legal term)--in other words, agreements between multiple parties, or contracts. A (relative to humans) literal moron animal that eats squirrel shit it found on the ground and rolls in rotting fish carcasses is not up to the task of having a meeting of the minds with a human being.

                All of your posts equate to "dogs do some stuff i think is gross therefore they have no rights".

                I am trying to explain to you that they are souled beings with minds and the capability of their mind does not make them less morally significant. They still have the same feelings as you.

                Why? Because you did not present one basis for your position other than "a horrid monkey said in the law book that dogs didn't have rights". Unfortunately, the law is entirely human in scope. The law is the moral equivalent of some random person on the road saying "don't eat chicken on tuesday or I will find you and kick your ass". There is no reason to follow the law if the law is all there is, only a good reason to avoid being caught by people that want to enforce it.

                Spirituality reigns supreme over law. You can not escape the mechanisms of the universe, the reality of the soul, or the reality of how evil damages it.

                If you doubt spirituality then you can go seek it out and find answers. If you want to deny all spirituality then, well, ok, there is no material basis for you having any rights but your physical ability to enforce them and people hopefully enforcing them on your behalf. Therefore if I kill you and no one finds out, or cares... because you were incapable of enforcing your right to life you did not have more of a right to live than I had a right to kill you. It sure would be nice if you had a SOUL are were an objectively, inarguable valuable life that shall not be armed except at the perpetrators peril huh? You know, like a dog.

    >responsible ownership prevents unwanted litters. do not hoard dogs. do not allow dogs to roam. if they can frick they can fight.
    >removing organs prevents them from becoming diseased, shocker. hides bad (in)breeding practices increasing the rates of reproductive cancers. removing healthy endocrine glands also increases the risk of autoimmune disorders, joint failure, and fricking bone cancer.
    >a dog that can roam is a dog you should not own. everything else is a training issue.
    >intact dogs are the norm the world over, including clean modern countries such as norway and sweden, and they have no problems. spay and neuter is an aspect of anglo culture, not something supported by hard science and ethics, created as a response to the anglophones tendency to let their animals run around free like the savages they are and always have been.

      >i have only heard "BRO I WOULDNT CUT OFF MY BALLS" as an argument and deny all others exist
      and it's not even a bad argument. basic empathy is a great argument.
      >why shouldn't i torture your dog to death?
      >would you want to be tortured to death? there's your answer.
      >stop anthropomorphizing animals!
      a dog can not consent to having its balls removed, permanently altering his hormone levels, predisposing him to numerous disorders that are too expensive for his owner to treat and likely to severely reduce his quality of life, all because his owner is too fricking lazy to invest in a leash, a fence, and a bag of steak bits and possibly, possibly, not leave their dog outside unattended 8-10 hours a day. it's just basic morality. which is why it's illegal in civilized countries (ie: norway) but encouraged in notoriously barbaric ones (ie: los estados unidos).

      humans can not show that the benefits of neutering outweigh the risks. most studies are low quality. for example dogs do not live shorter lives in countries where neutering is illegal, implying confounding cultural variables in american studies saying neutered dogs lived longer. in an american study on unaltered females, dogs were not segregated by breed, and not spaying was associated with mammary cancer. a european study found that there was no correlation except for certain breeds, such as german shepherds, labrador retrievers, and golden retrievers, and those dogs. some breeds actually had lower mammary cancer rates when left intact. furthermore, multiple studies have correlated neutering at an early age with multiple musculoskeletal disorders and torn ligmanets, and neutering at any age with osteosarcoma, lymphoma, hemangiosarcoma, mast cell tumors, hypothyroidism, numerous autoimmune idsorders, urinary incontinence, and epilepsy. the only severe, life ending disorder associated with intact dogs is pyometra in intact females, the risk of which can be eliminated by an ovary sparing spay, a sterilization procedure that does not alter anything but the dog's fertility.

      you should really just leave dogs reproductive organs alone unless they're an immediate problem. it's not like you'd treat us any differently since everyone has to follow the same leash laws if their dog is spayed or not. when a health issue is not so clear cut as removing a tumor would be, we doubt that even adult humans can fully consent to something as radical as arbitrary removal of the gonads without intensive education and therapy. desiring gonadectomy without a pressing disorder it would immediately cure has been declared a mental disorder in the past, and to sane people, still is.

      All of these arguments apply only to dogs

      I have male and female dogs, they will breed

      It's not ethical because we exist to ensure that our genes are passed idgaf about human laws.
      Sadly castration is the best we can do, maybe in the future we will store genetic information from the spayed creatures because that's what they want
