Hundreds of stray and abandoned dogs are waiting for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society.
The population problem is caused, in large part, by the cost of spaying and neutering to prevent unwanted births.
"Being able to very safely and cheaply neuter most male dogs, that can make a huge difference in the number of dogs that roam the streets,” said Dr. Holly Mullin of the VCA Animal Hospital in Hotel Circle.
It costs hundreds of dollars to neuter a male dog, but a new injectable solution called Zeuterin could change that.
It stops sperm production forever with a simple, single dose.

And surely our Simon-pure CIA wouldn’t think of administering this as part of one of their secret vaccination programs.
libs would let them breed to keep them in power and they’d slip it into your vaccine or flu shot or tetanus shot.
With a shot to each testicle, it could hardly be secret.
“The comments on this and people are in very poor taste at best”
Why? There are shots given to female humans all the time to stop fertility and I hear people all the time saying that certain women should be made to take the shot. A shot for males wouldn’t be different.
Two shots to the nuts.......WOOF WOOOOOFFFF!!!!
The OBVIOUS implication was not of volunteer use.
Progressives did it way back. An interesting book called
The War Against The Weak by Edmund Black.
“The comments on this and people are in very poor taste at best”
Not really. Each productively-employed person in the USA supports 1.5 non-productive person(s), most of which are multi-generational leeches.
That cancer cries for chemotherapy.
I’m with you. TNR can get pretty nasty when the kitteh in question is shredding not only the protective towel but my arm as well
They’re lacerations of love. ;^)
I just wonder what sort of K-9 cancers will be created by this drug as a result of the injection.
Offer it at no cost to human males on the welfare system. Not mandatory—that would be tyranny. Voluntary. Permanent birth control. What “playa” in “da hood” wouldn’t want that?
Hundreds for a male neutering? Just what are they doing?
As if males again needed anything easier. It’s the females that are difficult, dangerous and thus expensive. Can’t they find anything to make THAT easier?
As long as they don’t give me cat scratch fever they don’t bother me. So far so good
And you prove my point.
They claim it turns off the production of testosterone and may or may not reduce behaviors associated with intact males, “just like real neutering* may or may *not*.
This, however, is really good news:
“A population study of neutering status as a risk factor for canine prostate cancer that concludes that surgically castrated dogs are at double the risk to get prostate cancer.”
People do not realize that spaying/neutering has many detrimental side effects including, but not limited to a huge jump in the chances of developing certain fatal cancers.
I’m thinking Odin may be having his outlook changed.
:)
Times have changed.
As anyone who has undergone a surgical castration or complete hysterectomy can tell you, neither are without terrible side effects.
My Izzy was as healthy as a horse and at the age of 8, we had her spayed.
Her hips went out in just a few months and she was dead a few months later.
Her niece Pookie was also fabulously healthy until we spayed her.
Her thyroid crashed, her hips went out and that was that.
If I knew then what I know, I believe they’d both still be alive.
Djinni was spayed before her first estrus and less than a month later, she developed cholesterol deposits in her eyes and to this day, has a white film over them.
The eye specialist said it was a “metabolic issue”.
I *know* messing with her system caused it.
Gypsy has terrible spay incontinence but one Wedgewood Estriol cap *cures* it almost instantly.
Why?
Because they put back what I had ripped from her.
The gonads are part of the entire metabolic/endocrine system, all of which works in perfect concert.
Rip out one part and you wreck the others.
This is simply common sense.
I deeply regret every spay or neuter I have ignorantly inflicted upon my dogs.
No, I am not in favor of using this on even the feral humans.
That plays right into Sanger territory.
Your points make me think that is why we see so much breast cancer today.
It’s pandemic in America and in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s and ‘90’s most women had hysterectomies…then took estrogen replacement therapy.
All I know is my grandma and all the old ancestors didn’t do that so the uterus may have some benefits we don’t know about. Keep your uterus intact!
