<title>Keeping The Family Jewels Attached To Spot. (Trees And Things)</title>

<description>Most people view their pets as friends and members of the family. &#160;Most animal experts strongly suggest that, if you're not thinking about breeding your pet, the responsible thing to do is to have it spayed or neutered. &#160;Most responsible pet owners agree and will have the necessary operation performed soon after they buy their pet. &#160;But some animal owners find it cruel and barbaric to have Spot's testicles removed. &#160;For them, there's a new approach to neutering - an approach which allows</description>

<description>That's OK.. I don't take free investment advice. &#160;I just enjoy betting against people. &#160;I see from your other post that your prediction is about as useful as "In the Long run we are all dead" anyway....</description>

<description>&#160; &#160; As a public health/cost issue, I think the effect of this treatment will be minimal, even if it is offered hassle free. Cost aside- and there are those already who are leery at a one time price tag of $250- there's a bigger reason than pride </description>

<description>I do not want to state a specific date for the coming collapse, because I would be guilty of setting off a mass panic. &#160;Any such prediction would be self-fulfilling, if it were to be made by an influential pundit such as myself. &#160;Further more, I </description>

<description>My comment about the coming collapse was not an underlying assumption (it isn't used to support the main points that I am making). &#160;It is an aside. &#160;It is not intended sarcastically. &#160;I sincerely believe that the world is presently in very d</description>

<description>We looking at this from the wrong point of view. &#160;If there is some guy who's perceived status depends on the dangleosity of his dog's balls, we need to neuter the guy.</description>

<description>Yeah, really.. and if you are going to predict that sort of thing, at least have the decency to tell us when its going to happen so I can short all my stocks.</description>

<description>I have to take issue with your underlying assumption of a coming global economic/political/environmental collapse. Is this sarcasm on your part?</description>

<description>I know you're being funny but it really is a big deal to a lot of man to have their dog be the biggest and baddest on the block. And if they can't fuck, then they aren't big and bad at all. Just another example, of overgrown machismo run amok.</description>

<description>&lt;i>many owners (especially men) grow as attached to their pet's testicles as the dogs do&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;I'll believe that when I see a man licking his dog.</description>

<description>&lt;i>"Exactly what your dog might think about having talking testicles, would be hard to say."&lt;/i>&lt;p>&#10;Anyone who's ever watched a dog chase his or her own tail for interminable stretches of time will probably side with me that talking neuticles would just pr</description>

<description>Since there are always stray and abandoned animals being picked up and taken to animal shelters, pets can be had for free (although if you want a pure-bred animal, the cost can be very high). &#160;But once you have your pets, they become expensive. &#160;</description>
