Dial Back Spay-and-Neuter Programs
Juvenile dogs are treated better today than at any time in canine history, so is it time to slow down the rate of spays and neuters? It may be heresy to disagree with Bob Barker, but we have to ask the question in Pet Nation. If we don’t have enough puppies, then America has a dog shortage—it is basic arithmetic. Would it make sense to scale back spays and neuters, and encourage more puppies to be born in the United States? It sounds simple, but the politics are complex, and finding the mechanism or resolve to rein in an extraordinarily successful, twenty-year spay/neuter juggernaut fueled by a constant flow of emotional TV advertising will not be easy.
Four arguments challenge the widespread view that all puppies must be spayed or neutered, and they are raised by serious thought leaders:
We no longer have a dog-surplus crisis; instead, we face a chronic shortage. That’s been the focus of this chapter, and it forces the question of why we continue to spay and neuter at the furious pace of the last two decades. If the overarching rationale for spay-and-neuter campaigns no longer exists, due to dramatic changes and reduction in euthanasia rates over the past twenty years, then why wouldn’t Pet Nation reconsider the matter?
