Is it ethical for the human to do sterilization on their pets?

For today’s blog, the topic is still about how to raise a pet dog. Nowadays, accompanied by people of higher income, people who are raising pets are willing to pay more attention to and care more about the health of their dogs. Some hosts in big cities can spend lots of money on their pet dogs, and they always give their dogs high quality of life, for example, they not only feed dogs with dog food but also feed a variety of nutrients. What’s more, many people decided to do sterilization on their pets because some of them think it is benefit to dogs health. But someone holds different ideas. Therefore, there is a doubt raised: is it ethical for the human to do sterilization on their pets?

First, people think every life have the right to reproductive and human have no reason to deprive their rights. Many people hold the idea that does sterilization can reduce incidence. I also cared about this question, and I asked my schoolmate who is graduated from the major of animal science at UC Davis. She sends me an article about the dogs’ disease. It states that dogs have a very small chance of getting cancer. Although it is true for the dog who did this surgery can lower the probability of cancer, it is still the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Take me as an example, my pet also did the surgery, and due to excessive hormone secretion, he is obese, and it has to diet. Therefore, you need to think seriously before you decided to do sterilization. It can benefit dogs but it also harmful to pets.

Second, some people think do the sterilization can make the dog tender, and reduce some bad behavior. Just like the article said, it can effectively reduce the disease. For me, as a host, I want my dog to be healthy, and I didn’t read many articles at that time, it was just that the pet hospital recommended sterilization, so I decided him to do this surgery. And he had obvious behavioral changes after surgery. For example, it did not use a pillow as a toy, nor does he provoke other dogs. I agree with the benefits of the surgery, but my dog not only has an obesity problem but also lost one of its organs. Therefore, please be foresight when you make a decision.
