The Kingdom Of Bhutan Becomes The First Country In The World To Achieve 100% Dog Sterilization & Vaccination - Lemmy.World

Vaccination 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.

Breeders aren't saints. They make money by breeding cats that are in demand, even if that means breeding disfigured cats with (too) short skulls because they look SO cute : /
sure, but those are edge cases. You’re equating the entire profession with their worst representatives. Besides I’m all for outlawing that kind of breeding, because the demand for them won’t disappear.
Which is why there should be a level of regulation around animal breeding, but that doesnt mean all breeders are creating the next pug.
