Contraceptive technology in controlling reproduction in pets

Abstract

A great deal of emphasis has been placed on the importance of contraception in resolving the problems of a surplus of free roaming pets. There is a clear danger that contraception may be stressed at the expense of programs to educate owners of the responsibilities of pet ownership and legislation and enforcement to prevent irresponsible ownership. Pets which are responsibly cared for and controlled do not mate promiscuously. Sterile pets which are free to roam at will still bite, create nuisances and disturbances, damage property, spread disease, cause traffic accidents, pollute the environment, and become ill, die and create the need to destroy life. Nonetheless, it is a fact that contraception will reduce these problems, and appropriate contraception is a part of responsible ownership. A variety of contraceptive technologies for controlling reproduction in pets are in various stages of research, development, or availability. Some of these are described and evaluated.
