It is possible to take this argument to the extreme and assert that we should never interfere with something as basic as sexuality and reproduction. Good stewards would allow their animals to exist in a “natural” state. The problem here is that our companion animals have no “natural” state; as domesticates, they are artifacts of human manipulation, and human control over the processes of reproduction is at the heart of domestication. As Karla Armbruster notes in her essay “Into the Wild,” we cannot simply hand control for reproduction back to our companion animals; this would be an abrogation of our responsibility to them. But we owe it to them to acknowledge their losses.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jessica Pierce" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jessica-pierce/there-is-a-tendency-to-oversimplify-the-issue-of-spay-neuter-and-to/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/702/jessica-pierce-35764_animals_there-is-a-tendency-to-oversimplify-the_325861.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/702/jessica-pierce-35764_animals_there-is-a-tendency-to-oversimplify-the_325861.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/702/jessica-pierce-35764_animals_there-is-a-tendency-to-oversimplify-the_325861.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“There is a tendency to oversimplify the issue of spay/neuter and to promote the essential benefits without…” — Jessica Pierce", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "Animals aren't any better equipped to survive an emergency than humans are.
