Neutering?

Some might be afraid, maybe sympathy to our cat because they cant "puaskan nafsu" after they had been neutered. Some may think, like human, they too wanna feel the pleasure of having sex. Some wanna neuter their pets, but they are afraid they might be side effect somehow. For Muslim, some think its cruel to neuter their pets, but the JAKIM has issued a fatwa on July 2002:

"All pets like cats and dogs are allowed to be neutered or spayed in order to maintain the health and welfare of both the animals and the community."

"Bahawa mengembiri binatang kesayangan seperti kucing atau anjing hukumnya adalah diharuskan dengan sebab-sebab tertentu iaitu bagi menjaga muslahat ummah."

After studying the messages of the aforementioned "mazhab"s and the medical viewpoint of the SPCA animal experts, 'JAKIM' has decided that neutering of cats for reasons of 'maslahat' is acceptable. It is in agreement with 'qaedah' (way) Fiqhiyyah which states "To choose the lesser of two evils".

Did you know that starting from 2 cats, you my end up with as many as 20,000 kittens in a matter of 7 years?

Do you have the means to care for them or to find them homes? It is a known fact that there are a lot of stray cats wandering all around town. The majority of them cannot get sufficient food and are exposed to diseases and to the taunting and cruelty of heartless folks; or may end up maimed or dead from accidents.

According to the experts, neutered cats are healthier and less prone cancerous of the reproductive organs. Cats become less likely to wander and will therefore not get lost, hurt, sick and not incur the wrath of the public from their mating activities.
