We believe that almost all of animals in Bali should be sterilised. There are 500,000+ stray dogs and an unknown amount of stray cats living on the island. Because of this, many animals (and neighborhoods) suffer, spread diseases, and continue to produce more suffering animals. Regardless if you have a Western-bred dog or local Bali cat, please consider getting them sterilised. It only takes a moment for your animal to get out and reproduce with another. Those few moments just created 5, 10, or 100 more animals on Bali. Please spay and neuter your pets.
No! The natural right of the female to reproduce is inferior to the right of her offspring’s lives. Which is worse: not sterilising a pet because of misconceptions or fearing they “aren’t a male/female anymore” or having hundreds of puppies and kittens being thrown into the river or left to die when they are only a few days old? Humans reproduce, but we have the choice to do so. Animals don’t have that choice.
No! Animals do not experience sex like we do. For animals, sex is only the physical process of reproduction. Animals don’t have sex whenever they want – a female rejects the male aggressively when she’s not in heat. The only thing we are depriving them of is producing many babies in an already overpopulated island.
After sterilisation, only hormone-dependent behaviors change, like marking of territory or males fighting each other. Many times, having your animal sterilised creates positive changes in their behavior because it reduces the hormones in their bodies.
No. Your animal is not missing out on a “full life” with reproduction. It is just a hormonal and chemical process for her. Having babies does not improve her health. It just adds more animals in Bali.
With your support, we can provide affordable sterilisation of homeless and rescued Bali dogs and cats and those owned by local Indonesian families who cannot afford to pay. We are proud to be part of Yayasan Seva Bhuana.
