Random thought I had last night. Like it's really fucking strange how accepted it is to spay and neuter your pets is.
Like you get a pet to live in your house and you're expected to surgically remove it's reproductive organs so it behaves better. To make it less aggressive, not make it not run around and have a whole litter....but if you're keeping an eye on your pet responsibly, how could that happen?
I feel like (could be wrong feel free to prove me so) that originality spraying and neutering pets was done to make them "behave better", but eventually as times changed they continued to do so under new reasoning (to lower the population) to rebrand the procedure. Not too unlike how male circumcision is now justified as "keeping your penis cleaner" to continue to do it.
It really is strange. Has anyone else thought critically about this? Or done extensive research on the topic?
