JAKARTA - The owner's or employer's decision to sterilize their pets can optimize the welfare and quality of life of the pets.

Veterinarian member of the Indonesian Veterinary Association (PDHI) Novi Wulandari said, if for example not being sterilized, then the animals mate and give birth. Often what happens is that pet owners are confused when they are born.

"What should we do with these kittens or puppies? Because most of them and they are overwhelmed, they end up being thrown into the market. This will result in abandonment, not supporting animal welfare. So of course it is better to sterilize," said Doctor Novi as quoted by Antara, Saturday, August 7.

He explained that even if pets such as dogs and cats were sterilized, fur chicks could still mate.

So that can't be an excuse for pet owners to feel "pity" and fail to take sterile measures.

By being sterile, of course, the owner takes part in the movement to control the animal population so that the pets can get a better quality of life with optimal care and care.

One dog owner and lover, artist Ryan Delon, also agreed to sterilize his beloved fur puppies so that they can prosper.

Ryan revealed that as the owner of many dogs and cats, he sterilizes his pets so that they don't become abandoned in the future, especially if it turns out that the dog or cat is breeding.

“I totally agree to be sterile, because for example in my home cluster, yes. Many puppies or kittens are abandoned. They ended up being neglected, many were abandoned. Well I as a dog and cat owner must be responsible for their welfare. Of course I chose to sterilize them as a form of my responsibility so that the same thing doesn't happen, so that they don't breed and are not neglected,” said the father of two children.

Sterilizing pets, especially cats and dogs, is often considered taboo by the public.

There are still many pet owners who are against sterilizing their fur puppies because they feel sorry for their cat or dog.

However, pet sterilization actually has a good impact not only on the human environment but also on the health of cats and dogs.

At least by being sterile, humans can prevent their fur children from chronic diseases such as breast cancer, uterine tract infections, to ovarian cancer, to prostate cancer.
