As the owner and creator of this Chihuahua dogs site I have the right to voice my opinion on various issues. I have many, but will devote this page to an issue close to my heart.
America is one of the richest, most technologically advanced nations in the world, yet every year thousands of dogs and cats are put to death or meet horrible, tragic ends to their lives due to overpopulation. The most common cause of this needless, senseless slaughter of innocent lives is due to simple human ignorance.
I have heard all your excuses and rationalizations for not neutering or spaying your pets which you profess to love so deeply, but none of them have the interests of the animals at heart.
For instance, there's the mother who wants to let her children experience the "miracle of birth" by allowing the newly acquired pet cat to have just one litter. Three months later the first little miracle is found near death in the road because it was allowed to roam free. Mom now has to explain the "horror of death"! The other three little miracles weren't so lucky...one wandered into the nearby woods where it slowly starved to death. The second ended up at a nearby university's animal laboratory where it lived a long and unhappy life having makeup tested on it's eyes. The third kitten couldn't be found a new home so it was allowed to start the whole vicious cycle of birth, death and inhumane treatment all over again. (she was quite prolific...her first of many litters produced six kittens!)
When you decide to have a pet, you decide it's fate. If you truly care you will neuter or spay your pet. I have listed organizations at the bottom of this page devoted to this subject. They offer help and solutions around the world.
If your reluctance is simply about the cost, then call your local Humane Society or animal shelter and find out when they offer their neuter/spay clinic or which local veterinarians provide their services for a reduced fee. This is a world-wide problem that you can do something about and make a real difference!
