This LW is ab absolute tool if ever I sw one. And I don't think Any was harsh enough in shutting down this BS but then she never is.
On a personal note, come on now. We cannot just neuter eeeevery animal. Most yes. And most pet owners, where I live anyway, who don't have their animals neutered are responsible. With things like allergies and different breeds showing different levels of activity (whether walking or playing), and various behaviours I do think it is better for the DOG that their personality traits are best matched to the home they are placed in.
My family has lhasa apsos ( 2 KC certified but neutered/spayed and 1 mutt who is a lhasa some-sort-of-terrier as we adopted him from a cousin who didn't buy responsibly and was told he's a pure lhasa which lolno). We have lhasas because we have chronic illnesses and can't always take the dogs on long walks. That would be neglectful if we had a collie or a lab. As it stands my dog runs away when he sees his lead! I went to the dog's trust when I was going to get a dog but frankly, I didn't know dogs. If there had been a problem I would not have been able to help that dog. I could have harmed that dog.
Now? I feel when the time comes (hopefully a long way off. He's 7 and lhasas can go 15) that I could go look at the small, less active rescues and have the confidence to go help someone.
Tl;dr back to question, the ignorant person in this letter is the writer.
