"Those who are not born will not suffer."
As insignificant as it may seem, this quotation captures the essence of the hardship that innumerable strays, in particular in India, face on a daily basis.
Even though it is against the law, there are campaigns in India that involve animal cruelty and killing. The pain imposed on strays is severe! A routine spaying and neutering program is the only approach to deal with this issue. Campaigns for spaying and neutering stop undesired progeny, which stops suffering in the future.
Spaying, also known as ovariohysterectomy, is a surgical procedure performed on female animals to remove their reproductive organs, including the ovaries and usually the uterus. This procedure is commonly carried out by veterinarians and is a form of sterilisation that renders the female incapable of reproduction.
Neutering is a surgical procedure performed on male animals to remove their reproductive organs, specifically the testicles. The technical term for neutering in males is orchiectomy. This procedure is a form of sterilisation that renders the male incapable of producing sperm and impregnating females.
Neutering and spaying are critically important practices in animal shelters in India for several reasons:
While there are many advantages to spaying and neutering, there are also some hazards and difficulties. Anesthesia is used throughout the surgical treatments, which might be dangerous for pets with certain medical issues. Following surgery, pets may also feel pain and suffering; also, there is a chance of bleeding or infection.
Nonetheless, spaying and neutering typically has more advantages than disadvantages.
It is imperative that spaying and neutering animals in shelters throughout India be done. These practices address broader societal issues like illness prevention, overcrowding, and the development of a caring and responsible community in addition to improving the immediate well-being of individual animals. Spaying and neutering become essential instruments in creating a sustainable and compassionate future for animals in need while shelters carry out their essential work.
