But seriously, I spay/neuter a cat to relieve reduce the animal's challenges and hardship in life i.e. the mating and reproduction part, leaving it only the food and territory part.
Sex to the animal is not like humans, it is wham, bang and bye, none of the human kamasutra stuff. They r wired to mate by instinct.
Being burdened by kids when they themselves are hard pressed enough to provide for their own needs and survival is very pitiful indeed, even if there aren't (there often are!) cruel humans around to harm them or throw their food and clean water away (even though these r provided by other kind humans) with the hope of driving them away or starving them to death because these innocent creatures r considered pests.
I do it all for them, none for myself bcos I do it even for the strays that I do not know.
And I firmly believe that if God the Almighty intends that no species go extinct, He Himself is powerful and mighty enuf to ensure that all by Himself without any of my or the animal's help. Afterall, He is a miracle working God.
Too many of us flatter ourselves by insisting that we do certain things becos we believe that God wants us to it that way when in actual fact, it is bcos we ourselves want to do it ...
