'Surgical neutering should therefore be considered as a necessary part of responsible pet ownership, as the benefits far outweigh the costs in the long run.' - Dr Thanaseelan Rajasakran
IT is clearly stated in the United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goals 2030 that “We envisage a world... in which humanity lives in harmony with nature and in which... living creatures are protected.” Thus, ensuring the well-being of animals is a significant part of sustainable development.
One of the greatest bane of having stray animals in human-populated areas is their unregulated breeding. The long term-solution for this would be to spay or castrate the animals. Animal rights groups worldwide are now advising owners to neuter their pets to ensure their well-being. The Humane Society of the United States, for instance, noted that spayed canines have a 23% longer lifespan compared to non-spayed ones while castrated canines have an 18% longer lifespan.
The same study highlighted that in the US, neutering is commonly done at eight weeks of the pet’s life.
