"There's something fundamentally wrong with your math: 25% is what we call a "minority", not a majority..." Just saying its a pretty big # probably almost as much as the % of cats that are fixed. That is still 1 in 4 cat owners does it.. that is pretty high. But that ISN"T saying that the "majority" doesn't believe in it either.
"Well, maybe one day America will move out of it dark ages and ban the practice like many other countries have? :)" true dat!! But again I wouldn't mind that at all but am people are going to do it until it is outlawed and that is A LOT of people!! It is gunna happen so what do you think is right or wrong? Do you wait and see or do it and have the issues? What Mary suggests is that you wait but then she doesn't say what to do with the issues that come from waiting.. and yes the avma says to try other methods first and that is great and exactly what they would say but that is more for owners that ARE responsible, unfortunately most owners are not responsible owners. > On Dec 23, 2007 8:46 PM, Dave l <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > for you maybe but a majority of people don't think like that and > that is a lot of people..
