SurveyPoster@informal.com - 13 Dec 2005 17:39 GMT Informal Survey about Bob Barker
If you've ever watched the tv show "The Price is Right", you know that Bob Barker always ends his show by saying :Spay or Neuter your Pets". But at times he really gets carried away. On todays show he said it 5 or 6 times. There was a veterinary student on the show and he referred to the guy as "The king of spaying and neutering".
(Please answer this question with a YES - NO - or UNDECIDED)
IS BOB BARKER SPAYED OR NEUTERED? ______________
Please feel free to explain your answer or leave other comments below.

I didn't see the show but my quess is he got the signal from the floor producer to STRETCH the closing. They needed him to do something to fill those last few seconds.
Also with millions of unwanted pets, what is wrong with tellling people spay and neuter their pets?
> IS BOB BARKER SPAYED OR NEUTERED? ______________ With millions of unwanted pets in shelters looking for homes are you really going to tell us not to spay or neuter?
I applaud Barker for taking time on his show to remind people of this.
Why are you so against him doing it?
alt4 - 13 Dec 2005 23:38 GMT You missed the point. The question was "IS BOB BARKER SPAYED OR NEUTERED?" Written in caps. I'm all for spaying or neutering when it comes to pets, however people? That question makes me think either of Edie or the pussy wizard and I have Jerry killfiled so....

Upscale - 16 Dec 2005 21:19 GMT > I APPLAUD BOB BARKER, BOB BARKER IS NOT CREATING UNWANTED OFFSPRING How do you know? For all you know, Bob's beauties might have been acting as a harem all these years and he might have dozens of children. I can't think of too many things more desirable than getting to that age and having all those beautiful women around.
Seriously though, I think he's doing something good, although he doesn't tell you how lousy you'll feel when you take your animal to be spayed or neutered and you see the pain your beloved pet is in after the surgery.
caroline - 16 Dec 2005 21:26 GMT That is nonsense, a myth, a myriad of Veterinarians will tell you they are not in any pain after surgery. Think of the pain that homeless pets go through, indescribable.

> That is nonsense, a myth, a myriad of Veterinarians will tell you they are > not in any pain after surgery. Really? I guess it was my imagination when my Deetoo cried as the pet was carefully putting her into her carrier so I could take her home the day after surgery. And I guess it was my imagination when she cried a bit as she attempted to use the litter box the first few days. Animals can feel pain just as you and I, probably more so because we usually have the intellect to understand why we're going through pain. An animal just suffers in ignorance and that can be one of the worst pain of all, not knowing why something is happening.
> Think of the pain that homeless pets go through, indescribable. That's a completely different reason for the difficulty that homeless pets go through.

You must have a really shitty butcher of a vet. All of my cats have been neutered, for as long as I've had cats, and not a one of them has ever shown symptoms of post-op pain.
You really need to find a decent vet.

You're pretty slow aren't you? First of all, my cat is female which entails much more invasive surgery that what a male would need. Secondly, if you're of the opinion that cats of any gender don't feel pain after spaying or neutering, then you're ignorant as well.

Cat Dude - 17 Dec 2005 22:19 GMT > Wow, a bit over the top Upscale. I agree Cat Dude's reply was > insensitive, and I agree that your girl kits don't get off as easily > as boys would, but still! Let's be a little civilized, K? What was insensitive about my reply? He reports that one of his cats was crying in pain for days after spay surgery. I've had several cats spayed over the years, and though they experience some discomfort for a day or two I've never had one cry out because of it or have problems using the litterbox because of the surgery. If his cat did, then the vet that did it must have been a butcher. I'd sure never take another cat to that vet.
The fact is that Upscale is trying to say that spay/neuter surgery is cruel and barbaric and implies that it shouldn't be done. That's stupid, ignorant, and irresponsible. If you want to jump on someone for insensitivity, jump on him. It's people like him that are responsible for the huge numbers of stray cats filling our animal shelters, trying to survive on the streets after being abandoned, and being killed by wild animals. If you love your cat, get it sterilized. To fail to do so is cruel and irresponsible.
I'm so sick of ignorant idiots saying that desexing a cat is cruel, then subjecting that cat to a lifetime of hormonal urges, needless agressive behavior, fanatic attempts to escape to the outside to mate, and all too often bringing unplanned litters into being.
Wake up. Learn to be a responsible pet owner. If you are so convinced that desexing is cruel, then rehome your cat and adopt a goldfish.

Think of the pain that homeless pets go [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >| tell you how lousy you'll feel when you take your animal to be spayed or >| neutered and you see the pain your beloved pet is in after the surgery. Veterinarians will tell you anything if it makes them a buck. They are the ones that want everyone to spay an neuter, simply because they make lots of money from doing it. It IS painful for the animal and dont let them tell you differently. I'm not saying it should not be done in some cases, but each case is different. My male cat lived in the house his whole life, so he never reporduced. Then when he passed on, I got another male, and that one started spraying. He got fixed just because of the spraying, since he to was an indoor pet. The former cat only sprayed in his litter box. I also own horses, and I will NEVER geld (neuter) a male horse. It's very painful for them, and the uncut have a better disposition. Once gelded, they act like they are confused, and I guess they are... I have never yet allowed one of my stallions (male horses) to breed, and they are just fine being with other stallions if they are introduced when young. I have noticed them mounting each other a few times though, but I just ignore their unusually gay behavior as "natural instinct".
By the way, I hate veterinarians !!! Every one of them I have ever met is an a.shole.

They have modern surugical techniques like scalples, anastetics (spelling?), pain killers, etc.
Yes there is some pain but that is offset by the pain that a few million unwanted cats don't have when they STARVE TO DEATH. ------------------------------------------

Michele - 18 Aug 2006 03:27 GMT Yes of course their is going to be some pain, I don't know that they have come up with any surgery that is not painful. This is only a small price to pay for not having millions of animals put to sleep or starve to death because someone decided their pet didn't need to be spayed or neutered. For those of you with male animals if they go outside they may be reproducing without you realizing it because there would be no way for you to know since the males don't get pregnant. Now I do understand not having a horse neutered, but their is no reason not to have a dog or cat "fixed". I volunteer my time at the local animal shelter and have seen far to many nice dogs and cats either put to sleep because of lack of homes or die because they were in such bad shape once they were found that we were unable to help them. It is because of incidences like that that I don't understand why anyone would not want to have their pet spayed or neutered. Why would you breed an animal when their are so many homeless pets out their needing homes and people to love and take care of them.

"surugical"
"scalples"
"anastetics"

And I suppose wester@laway.ne has never made a spelling/grammar mistake? Where can we find all of your writings so we can prove that?

TaliesinSoft - 18 Aug 2006 03:34 GMT > If you've ever watched the tv show "The Price is Right", you know that > Bob Barker always ends his show by saying :Spay or Neuter your Pets". "Spaying" is a particular procedure which makes a female cat or dog incapable of reproduction.
"Neutering" is any procedure which makes a male or female cat or dog incapable of reproduction.
Then why do we constantly hear "spay and neuter" instead of just "neuter"?
Do we hear a speaker begin with "Ladies and People"?
Or, is the real truth that people are hesitant to say such as "spay and castrate"?

tallyho@my-isp.com - 23 Sep 2006 06:43 GMT I want to se Bob Barker neutered on "The Price is Right". Live on TV. It would be so appropriate and so much fun to watch them cut his balls off live on our TV sets. And just think about all the ratings that network would get. I cant wait to see this happen. Come on Bob, put you money where your mouth is. You want me to neuter my pet, fine, I will, but YOU FIRST !!!!!
