Ben, you need to understand something. Women know what is like to go through childbirth and have the tenacity to understand unwanted breeding is a bad idea. Since choosing to have your tubes tied (as a temporary measure) or cut (as a permanent one) is something reasonable they can consider once they've decided they want no more children (or don't want any) it doesn't bother a woman.pinback wrote: Mon Nov 20, 2017 9:59 am That's great. Meanwhile shelters are overflowing with unwanted, often sick kittens because of this shit. There is absolutely zero justification for not spaying/neutering.
On the other hand, the only method of neutering a male cat or dog is, of course, castration, this creates a great deal of anxiety in the male owner, who unfortunately emphasizes with the animal a little too much, and thinks how he'd feel with his balls cut off. (They don't do vasectomies for animals.)
In order to understand how most men see this, here's a great short showing a new (1995) tool from Stone Manufacturing, the Henderson Equine Castrating Instrument to neuter horses. Inject the balls with anestetic, slit the scrotum, Clamp the Instrument to the ball sac, insert the end into a cordless variable speed drill, and twist slowly about 25 turns until the cord fractures and the testicle separates, then repeat for the other testicle. I thought it's a great educational video, and likely to scare the shit out of a lot of men.
