The biggest obstacle in controlling the growth of the dog and cat population is human ignorance.
I hesitate to use the term “illiteracy,” even though it would convey a more accurate meaning. But that’s not the case. At their core, even those who are highly educated and literate, believe that sterilization interferes with nature and goes against its natural order. Although feeding is also an intervention. Once the dog was fed, there was no need for it to hunt for food, and its next instinct was to mate. And there you have it, contributing to the problem of strays.
The cats and dogs that we currently have in large numbers around us are already in unnatural conditions for them; they are fed non-natural food and do not need to hunt for it. An urban environment for animals is not the wild, where humans should not interfere.
Who else but humans should bear the responsibility for the proliferation of dogs and cats? Sterilization is, of course, an intervention in nature. However, it’s the less harmful option.
After all, fewer animals mean fewer accidents on the roads, where not only people suffer but also the animals themselves become disabled and require constant care.
Many do not realize that this is the necessary and only effective good deed today when there is a desire to show care for animals.
