I fail to see what that has to do with "honesty"? I believe we should all be free to choose to neuter or not, people who neuter their dogs are not "better" owners than those who do not, neither is the reverse true.

Your dog, your choice.

Neutering decreases the risk of some health conditions and increases the risk of others.

We live in a "free speech country" or what I prefer to call a democracy, which means we are ALL free to choose, until and unless of course someone else BANS something else.

Bitch spaying has way more benefits than male neutering.

I'm also one of the many people that has an entire male and has not allowed him to add to the number of dogs in shelters...even with an entire bitch in the house!

Any operation is a risk especially under GA.
I also choose not to neuter my dogs and have entire males and bitches living together. Every litter I have is planned.
