alphacyberrangerThe Kingdom Of Bhutan Becomes The First Country In The World To Achieve 100% Dog Sterilization & Vaccination
tunVaccination is great.
But why sterilization is?
Because pets and stray pets are an ecological disaster, especially if they freely reproduce in the wild. It’s fine if you keep them at home, but not if you let them roam free. cats will kill anything they come across just for fun. entire species and ecosystems have been wiped out because of this.
Our neighbor had freely reproducing barn cats that he didn’t care about at all, so you’d have sickly cats all over the neighborhood, regularly finding dead ones. It isn’t fun for them either. It’s best for everyone involved to leave their reproduction to breeders.
I was right there with you until the last sentence. Why use breeders when there are so many animals in need of a loving home already?
if you sterilize 100% of all pets, where else are you supposed to get them? I’m talking long term in the context of the article. of course you can go the adoption route too. I’m just talking about how they would reproduce.
Valid- I am not meaning to imply 100% should be sterilized like in the article, because there would of course eventually be none left. But breeders are not the bulwark holding off depopulation of our pets, and more often than not contribute to their overpopulation. We couldn’t and shouldn’t use the exact same plan as the article because our conditions are vastly different, but that doesn’t mean that we should only get our pets from breeders. Not a black and white issue, a solution will require elements from both ideas.
… Because as time flows, animals pass away from age, and we dont want our companion species to go extinct?
