This bothers me because it hurts their lives and their emotional well-being, and I do not believe that it reduces their risks to cancer. It also bothers me because it means that dogs will come from only one source, breeders, in the economic sense of the word, and not my neighbors, in the social sense of the word. I am certain that this must have an influence on their DNA. I am so particularly disturbed by the number of dogs that are neutered.

This is a theory for man but pehaps it´s workning the same way for pets. I have heard about the theory of the DNA being demolished for every generation that we eat a pure diery.
