Ethics And Respoibiltes Of Spaying And Neutering Analysis
The article I chose to critique is called “The Ethics and Respoibiltes of Spaying and Neutering” written by Cargill John and Thorpe Vargas Susan. The Main idea in this article is tackling the problems of neutering and spaying your pets as well as the problem of overpopulation of pets. Throughout this article they gave statiicts like 11 to 19 million animals are killed in animals shelters each year. (Cargill, Vargas) As well as other numbers that further credit why pets should get neutered. And being both having their masters and John Cargill being a statician I believe they both are very credible. In their article they discuss three important details about spaying and neutering your pets. Those are: ethical, finicail, and social responsibility.
They ethical problem they both agree that dogs and cats in their opionons should be considered a special kind of livestock so it’s ok if we euthanize them if necessary. Althought I don’t agree with them on that they are trying to tackle the problem of overpopulation of pets and I do agree with that. Financial hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on animals shelters each year and since this comes out of taxpayers’ pockets they say it’s everybody problems to help solve. And in this article something I found very interesting, why many people don’t fix their pets are because the doctors will have to sedate them. And at a young age there are some concerns like hypothermia. But a study was done at the Massichetis society for the prevention of cruelty to animals at Angell memorial animal Hospital in Boston. And in that study it showed animals getting spayed and neutered had less complication than older ones.
So in conclusion I agree with the whole idea of spaying and neutering your pets. They provided the article with a tremendous amount of information, and statistics. Although it seemed more, we need to fix the problem at any cost. The article was still great.
