LOL! Yep your right! Its irresponsible too to breed when there is no market! Some people just dont get it though! Thats Why I said, nueter the people instead.. that part of the bod seems to be where some have misplaced their brain! Might just fix the problem on that end! LOL! I rather doubt it though, because some people are just to stupid to get it. And in these days, man if you are breeding without a contract that is signed sealed and delivered you are a fool when it comes to animals, especially horses.

There is no need to neuter something if the beast has some morals or the owners have some scruples.

Im a stallion owner. I would not want to alter our boy one iota even if he was never breeding because we prefer stallions and he is a big puppy love and there is no need but then he is not running with his girls when we dont want him to. His natural attitude can put a mare to shame, but then thats our boy! That old man is funny and usually when we were breeding him, he was a gentleman and unless he had our permission he would not approach a mare even in the pasture. And he knew the difference on when it was time and not. But then we educated his nuetering end. He was also not one to be interested in any of his daughters. More than I can say for some humans.

Owning animals is a responsibility and consent is consent. Liberties on the other hand... like I said, nueter the irresponsible owner. But then nuetering some animals will not keep them from performing the "deed". So rape is rape.

I think its irresponsible too to use abortions as birth control. Brings us back to responsibilities and morals as far as I am concerned.

To me what is sad is that the humane societies have become an abortion ground.. the animals are aborted way after birth and people are using them as excuses for throw away pets. Its sickening. And they are so full the abuse keeps going on. And again, goes back to morals. Or they are throw aways off the track or show ring and the world is flooded with unwanted animals and children that need to be taken care of. Again, it goes back to morals. And Im not talking mushrooms!

Being fruitful and to multiply is all in management. But anyway that is IMHO!
Multiplying is not always fruitful! There is a lot to be said in having less being more. More joy, more time, more tail wags and kisses. All a matter of seed saving! LOL!

Oh, I found my book.. back later with it. Gotta go tend some critters!
