Thread: Neutering...a step too far?

Interesting point of view… a friend of ours keeps two male horses and absolutely refuses to have them castrated, pretty much for the same reasons Morris gives.

I guess you could argue we shouldn’t toy-ify our pets for the sake of convenience. But I also agree option 1 is far from desirable for most of us.

That leaves us with option 2. Does this mean they still get in season? If so, this seems especially harsh on the females. Why let her go through all this… feeling restless, being chased and harassed by toms … and still withhold her the reward of a litter of her own? Seems just as unnatural and rather cruel to me.

I’m interested in reading other peoples’ comments.
