    Neutering Roosters

    I say Bravo to you! I am a spay and neuter advocate myself of pet mammals. Yes, my dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and guinea pigs have all been altered. Yes, I do work in the veterinary field, but it still cost me btwn $30-$200 per animal. There's a reason why spaying and neutering are advocated...
