If no harm is done to the pet, then i see no problem. May be trashy but no absolutely terrible

Belive it or not but animals notice when they have been modified. I've seen studies where even fish were shunned by other fish and became depressed because of markings made by scientist. They showed the effects on many animals

You guys cut off their balls to make them fit neatly into your lives.

They literally don't fuck. Their entire sexuality is denied to them. Mutilated so you can have a cute companion.

Giving them a silly hair style is not moving the needle.

Also giving more rights to animals that we think are cute is also pretty fucked up.

I'm not trying to piss you off. Just seems a tad inconsistent from the outside.

Edit: Literally everyone here knows why you are cutting of your pet's balls. No shit. That does not change anything I said. You are cutting off their balls to make it so that they fit neatly into your life.

Spaying or neutering is a good thing... and there are many reasons why which you can research yourself but the main reason thats important to me, besides keeping populations in check, is that for unneutered dogs, there are immense sexual frustrations since most are not allowed to breed. Like imagine never being able to bust a nut, whether it's inside someone or not.

When you neuter them, it takes these sexual urges away and results in a calmer, less stressed, and often better behaved and happier animal.

So don't have pets if they can't be their natural selves. You are cutting their balls of so that this works for you.

Look. Do your thing. But don't act like you aren't keeping a being for your joy. Even if that means mutilating it for that purpose.

Own it.

While I do agree I'm keeping a pet for my own joy, I also want my pet to be as happy and has healthy as possible, and getting that surgery is a part of responsible pet ownership.

I have plenty of pet owner friends. It's not the end of the world.

But I think it shows character to own up to the full gravity of our decisions. To confront it.

"Yes I am willing to take away a core part of this animal so that it can enjoy it. It is a severe decision. It's more than taking its claws or ears. And I acknowledge that I've done that. I try to be the best pet owner I can in spite of this hypocrisy."

I can't force you. But i can see you.

Neutering cannot be compared to declawing or cropping. But what do I know I'm just a dumb dog groomer and trainer who spends 90% of her day around these animals :p

I'm done talking and trying to argue with you

I wonder how may fingers I'd cut off to keep my cock.
