Do veterinarians suggest sterilization in order to make money? What are the health benefits? Is it expensive? Will sterilizing your pet economically benefit pet shops and breeders? Are we entitled to deprive animals of what nature has given them? My animal is purebred. Will it be less of a guard dog? I really want to be present at a birth. I want to have an offspring from my pet. I will be responsible for the offspring. No one makes money if I have a litter. 11. References. 12. Further Reading. Index.
