I don't believe it's all false and exaggerated and a
propaganda campaign. I do believe that it's being
exaggerated by some people in support of a propaganda
campaign and that anti-speuter stuff is currently a matter
of fashion in some circles. I also know that humans are
really terrible at evaluating risk and in particular tend to
exaggerate the likelihood of exceedingly rare events while
downplaying the likelihood of common ones. I think the
anti-neuter people are overhyping some valid research
results. I also think (heck, I know) that people tend not
to think about risk in terms of tradeoffs. I'd be very
curious to know the incidence of accidental litters versus
the incidence of orthopedic or other problems caused by
neutering.

The problem isn't with the research, it's with its
interpretation, particularly by people without a research
background and who don't know how to look at data.

This girl comes swanning up with her whippet, and says, (and this is the
first time she's even *seen* us mind you,) "Why does your dog still have
those tumors?" (and when did that get to be a popular saying anyway?).



Maybe because males have two-more than females?

That's why I mentioned that perhaps my female friend was just a bit
misanthropic. She has had several unsuccessful relationships with men and I
sense some almost maniacal glee when she mentions having an intact male dog
castrated. I


Paul, you're an idiot.


Thank You
