Neutering, from the Latin neuter (of neither sex), is the removal of an animal's reproductive organ, either all of it or a considerably large part. The process is often used in reference to males whereas spaying is often reserved for females. Colloquially, both terms are often referred to as fixing. While technically called castration for males, in male horses, the process is referred to as gelding.
Neutering is the most common sterilizing method in animals. In the United States, most humane societies, animal shelters and rescue groups urge pet owners to have their pets spayed or neutered to prevent the births of unwanted litters, contributing to the overpopulation of unwanted animals in the rescue system.
Besides being a birth control method, and being convenient to many owners, neutering/spaying has the following health benefits:
Dreamin', goin' on a night ride, hopin', it's gonna be the right ride
Feelin' so well, I'm in tune, can't you tell that I'm groovin'?
Can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm movin' so much closer to you?
Leanin', hopin' for a straight line, meanin', hopin' for the right rhyme
I'm in tune to the room, 'cos my head just went boom and I'm movin'
Can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm movin' so much closer to you?
Can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm movin' so much closer to you?
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
Scheming, thinking of the right place, beamin', laughin' at my own face
We've got a long way to go 'cos you make like you're so disapproving
But can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm movin' so much closer to you?
Can't you tell I'm in tune and I'm movin' so much closer to you?
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
You, you, you, you, you move me
