No, that's not what I'm saying
Like I said before tail docking and ear cropping is done for looks. If it was done for the purpose of health issues (which have not been proven) then I can understand. Spaying and Neutering is done to decrease the population, so less dogs and cats end up in shelters. It's also been proven to expand the life of the animal, by decreasing the risk of cancers. So, it is done for health reasons, and for the care of the animal. (dog)
