maybe its just me

I don`t like being told what to do. Ever. I like to be asked and then given the choice of whether I do it or not.
Thats how I feel about Spay/ Neuter.
My own animals are all sterilized for my reasons; to keep them healthier and to keep them home. In the case of my cats, Bob doesnt stink like an non-neutered cat and Jessica doesnt spend any nights screaming for a mate. Simple, practical reasons. But dont tell me I have to do it. I also have Kira, an American Pitbull Terrier that was a rescue and a long story to go with her ..By law, my government says that I have to have her spayed . She is and is also old enough to be legal.
And thats a second problem I have. Please dont tell me what animals I can own. But the government of Ontario does.
I am slowly having all my rights taken away. Where is the anger from the intelligent Ontario public.
When it comes to our rescued furfriends, we spay/neuter at 5-6 months for their own benefit . No one told us to. We want our rescued animals to stay healthy for many years . We also ask our adopters to spay/neuter any pups/kittens they adopt . Since they own that animal, they have the right not to .
Then there are the nay sayers that insist that since CARO takes in surrenders that we aren`t real rescue. I`m old and when I get too old to care for my fur kids , what do you suppose my family will do with them? Think about it. Old dogs and cats . Dead I would imagine. We take surrenders because they dont need to die .
I`m told that its good to vent . If thats so, why am I sitting here shaking , just thinking about the government and their laws.
I wonder how they are doing today with the new Animal Abuse laws. I sure pray it doesn`t get by.
More of my rights taken away .
And it wont help the animals at all. Nasty people will still abuse and mistreat animals . They don`t care about the law to begin with .
I`m so sick of the government having their face in my business.
