It is important that you take part in helping animals too! There is something very important that I need to talk to you about ... NEUTERING or SPAYING your animals. Unless you are a breeder, it is very important that you allow your pet to have this surgery. It is important to Neuter or spay your animal because many poor animal babies that are born each year are killed or become homeless. Your pet can cause the birth of many, many animals that do not find good homes. I know that you are probably thinking 'But it's so cruel and unnatural!' Well, it's not! Many of the babies that are distributed go to homes that just do not care for them enough, or else they get dumped on the road. Sometimes families are just too busy for the animal, neglect it and cause it to run away and die. It is very important that you neuter or spay your animals to save these poor baby's lives. All of the pets that my family own are fixed, and they are all wonderful animals. Some Plusses To Neutering or Spaying: Animals will be less territorial and vicious Fewer animals to place and worry about Fewer animals killed because of carelessness Animals will not fight as much Animals will no longer run off to find a mate Cats are quieter and don't spray the furniture Another thing... Buying A Puppy From A Petstore Although this may not be true for all pet stores, it certainly is true for some. Many pet stores buy their puppies from 'puppy mills'. A puppy mill is an awful place where they breed dogs only for money. The bitches (female dogs) are kept in cages and bred with a male dog, time after time. As soon as they can be bred again, the females are, and they hage puppies after puppies... the dogs are kept in cages and don't get much excercise, love, or veterinary care. Their sole purpose is to make babies and have babies and make money. It is disgusting. Back
