<font color="blue"> 'Dear Dogs Today,
After reading the castration makes you limp article in the August 2009 issue, I felt angry that such an article was published.
The RSPCA and other charities have put a lot of hard work into raising awareness that neutering is the responsible thing to do, and I feel this article could undo a lot of that work within a very short space of time.
Although the article made sense, I feel that there are risks with any operation and the article was written in a sense that seemed like the writer was against neutering. I have had 2 dogs and 8 bitches neutered and none of them have had behavior issues or cruciate problems. And I feel that a slight risk from the operation is better then the inevitable risk of more unwanted pregnancies occurring, where either the dogs are aborted, causing stress to the mother, or the dogs are born and we have more unwanted dogs in the country.

Feel free to give me some advice on altering/adding any bits. I'll end up rewriting it yet
thanks,
Nickie
