Spaying and castrating animals.

Looking for the old results?
If you haven't seen my other poll ("Would you want to be surgically neutered?"), I started a campaign which aims to bring about a ban on spaying and castrating animals in the U.K. due to the side effects and the fact that there are alternatives to neutering (my website's address is www.freewebs.com/society_against_neutering). I designed this poll in order to find out what other people think about the alternatives.

Do you think that vasectomies and tubal ligations should be used to sterilise animals instead of spaying or castration?

41% (43) Yes
28% (29) No
11% (12) Depends on the type of animal
18% (19) There should always be a choice

103 voters have answered this question.

Do you think that is is morally acceptable to spay or castrate animals to solve behavioural problems?

12% (13) Only in extreme cases

Do you think that neutering animals to prevent various medical problems from occuring (eg. womb infections and testicular cancer) is a justified reason for neutering the animal? (If you have a strong opinion on this point, please could you post something on the message board)? (This does not include neutering animals in order to treat diseases if no other cures would work).

33% (35) Yes
50% (53) No
16% (17) Only if the animal's health is improved overall.

105 voters have answered this question.
