Disclaimer: The following will probably be dismissed as the most ignorant thing that has ever appeared on this blog. To give further context to my statements I would like to also inform you that I endorse lead paint, elemental mercury in your food, and acts of revenge resulting in physical violence. Among the things I am actually against: insurance, seatbelts, and giving food to starving peoples. So if those opinions in any way, frighten or disturb you, by all means continue reading.
I would like to call to attention a strange phenomena that I have noticed. That phenomena is the strangely prominent occurrences of cancer in neutered and spayed pets. Has the whole world gone mad or is it just me?

I’m always hearing from self described “pet people” and from ASPCA commercials about how having your dog or cat fixed isn’t just responsible from a planned parenthood vantage point, but also actually beneficial to the pet’s health.
My major complaint is that this statement seems to me, complete bullshit. I’ve had, and been witness to many many many dogs and cats simply living WAAAAY past their expiration dates that never went under the knife. …meanwhile, I cant help but notice that every pet thats been plagued by health issues, and meets it’s maker ahead of schedule (aside via vehicular manslaughter) …they’ve all been fixed!
I challenge you to consult your own memory.

Pictured is my best friend Rufus. Know why he’s smiling? Thats right, he still has his balls.
Now I will admit that someone willing to pay for the procedure in the first place is probably far more likely to actually take their pet to the vet in the event of an illness and get a diagnosis, and the pets of less attentive owners tend to go undiagnosed… but you know what? That’s bullshit too. I only threw that in there so someone wouldn’t attempt to diffuse my argument on that presumption.
The overpopulation of unwanted pets is caused by careless and irresponsible owners. I don’t think that the occasional surprise batch of puppies is making a noticeable impact on that number as long as dog breeders have jobs.

Somewhat less adorable than seeing his glorious pendulous balls trailing behind him like a rusty tailpipe dragging from an old Chevy…
Get your dog fixed and you give him a death sentence. Its harsh but it’s true.
Your dog, and (because the cat is less domesticated) especially your cat, evolved with his or her anatomy as part of the equation. You as a human, with your benevolent intentions, want to throw a monkey wrench into an intricate piece of clockwork.
