Cats and Kittens

[Shin'Ar]

What would be the difference between spaying and neutering our pets, and the Chinese government imposing laws where a mother could only bear one child, or that Indian female children can be murdered so that the family can attempt to have a more beneficial male offspring?

When does the human gain authority to impose its will upon others regarding natural reproduction?

I would suggest that all females should inherently have the right to experience motherhood and evolve their maternal attributes at least once in a lifetime. It is the most biologically prominent aspect of being female.

But with regard to overpopulation, in nature such things are controlled naturally. When there are too many rabbits, the fox population increases. And vice versa.

Diseases associated with specific species also has a way of controlling populations.

Does overpopulation affect others in adverse ways? of course it does, but I am certainly glad that the animals have not figured out a way to control the overpopulation of the billions of humans that are far more adversely affecting our home planet than any of them are.

i have two dogs of both genders, and both are fixed. I personally do not want animals messing the inside of my home, and I feel the obligation to society is more of a priority than the natural experiences of my pets. However I do so in full awareness that I impose my own power over a being of less power enslaving it to my desires. I must live with this decision as I do all the choices I make in life, but I do try to make sure that I do not make such decisions lightly of simply because that is what the Jones's are doing.
