- If she has a litter who would take care of them?
- We adopted her to take her off the street - not to put more out there.
- Statistics show that sterilized dogs are less prone to certain types of cancer.
- Singapore AVA authority advocates sterilization.
In short, this was good for Polka and the world at large. Nevertheless, I agonized over the decision. Will she grow to her full potential? Will she experience all the joys of life? Will she remain her bubbly self? Do I have the right to do this to her?
A friend of mine commented:
We interfered with nature thousands of years ago when we made dogs and cats our companions. Now we have a responsibility to protect them. That means fresh food and water, love and shelter and yes spaying and neutering. The crisis is due to human interference and its our obligation to fix it.The surgery went fine. Polka recovered soon and was ready to play and jump the very next day. It's been over a month now and she looks healthy and strong but sometimes I still wonder ..
If we can take this decision for dogs as an obligation and responsibility, isn't the responsibility tenfold bigger when it comes to humans ? After all who is causing more harm to the environment ?
