Mandatory Spay Neuter Gone Wild!

[mugsy]

I think the dog should be neutered. But, that's my opinion. We don't need anymore unwanted pups around and if he lets the dog loose on his property, who knows what will happen. I do think the city went a too far, but, he should use common sense and neuter the dog.

There's nothing in the article saying that he's a breeder, or that he shows the dog. If the dog is just a pet, neuter him. It's not "sexually mutilating" the animal, it's being responsible.

Obscene! His truck was broken into, he wasn't just letting the dog roam...and he's to be punished for it why? It's not my business if he wants his dog to keep his dangly bits. He doesn't live in the city with mandatory neuter, he shouldn't have to comply. It's ridiculous.

Kinda makes me wonder how secure he is with his OWN manhood....

With the mentality that spaying/neutering is sexually mutalating how do we expect to fight the battle of unwanted animals...its just unbelievable.

Found this update , with not much more detail but includes a better photo.
Does look like a Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff). Ears were not cropped.
Most other articles just called the dog a 'mastiff'.


George says, "I believe that he comes to the world one way, he leaves the same way,".

Being that the dog doesn't have the ear crop, which some owners will opt to have done after they get these dogs when the breeder doesn't do it (breeders typically do the tail crop, like rotties and boxers are routinely done), this adds another element of interest regarding his passion for his dog and greater weight to his words.

This link might not last long but is typical of those who want 'the look' and want to have it done by a professional. Which is not a bad thing - Some folks with pit bulls sometimes have tried to do it at home, with scissors or knives.

My eye was caught by the picture behind the man hugging his dog - a fierce 'look-alike' in the picture(Kirk Douglas, I know), along with macho-tough fighting images.

I go back to thinking that, aside from spay-neuter being right or wrong in this case, he thinks neutering his dog would emasculate him, somehow.

I mean...he didn't choose a miniature poodle for a pet, did he?
