Is aborting puppies/kittens right or wrong?

There's no definitive answer. It's not "always yes" or "always no". It's a "sometimes" thing. Same as it is for humans.

Might sound like a cop-out; actually it's just reality. It depends on circumstance.

It's better than waiting for them to be born and then drowning them.

Yeah like that option it's not ok because the animal has no choice... It might be necessary due to health problems but I think those health problems are faults of the humans too in at least 90% of those cases -.-

Yeah I fucking hate humanity... and I seriously don't know why IIN brings me to state that in close to every comment I make =P

I dont think abortions are right at all.

If its a yorkie, then just smash its entitled skull on the spot. Those things take everything and give nothing. Its ok to cover a yorkies selfish body with pitch, lite it in fire, and piss on the smultering remains.

I think it's wrong as it would be for a human. But animal or human (even though humans are animal, mammals,) if in a tight spot sometimes you have to.

I'm half-half on this. On the one hand, the I do believe in pro-choice and it's stupid for a pet owner to abort a pet because of pedigree. If they value their pet that much, then they shouldn't have let it get impregnated with another animal in the first place. On the other hand, humanity is regretfully a horrible thing, and the born puupy or kitty might just be uncared for by their owner because the owner didn't want the pet in the first place.

well pets are property...and people have been killing animals since the dawn of time....

SO idgaf. It's not the same as human abortion, in my view.

If the person is having their pet's offspring aborted simply b/c they didn't get them neutered...that's foul. Same as if a person is aborting their baby simply because they didn't want to use protection.

just get the cat desexed.

It’s wrong! Abortions should only be done with the consent of the mother, and even there it can be wrong.
Dog mothers are unlike human mothers in that they never not want their baby. So aborting the pups would be wrong on all levels.

Abortion is abortion, no matter who the victim. Common sense.

There are millions of unwanted dogs and cats in the world that die of starvation, get run over in the street, or at the hands of sadists. Anything a person can do to prevent the birth of even more unwanted pets is a plus and for those who are too lazy or negligent to get their female pets spayed, that includes aborting unborn kittens and puppies. Anyone who is against aborting kittens and puppies is a sadist who gets off on seeing and thinking about animals starving ans suffering.

Why should they be aborted.Theres plenty of HOMELESS/POOR people always looking for something to EAT.

I looked at the pictures of those gorgeous adorable little baby puppies and kitten and cried. After reading some of these comments I can't help but to wonder" How can anyone possibly think it's ok to abort these beautiful creatures". Surley an animals innocence makes people want to protect it. Baby animals are so trusting and uncorrupt and totally incapable of doing any harm to anyone or anything. I think by my commment you know my thoughts but for the record here goes in my opinion abortion of any creature animal or human is evil. xx

Only cats, they're fucking monsters that torture other animals before killing them. ABORT THE SHIT OUT OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't take the time to read the other comments.

Why not just spay/neuter the animal if you're going to want to suck the "baby" guts out of them either way? Unless there are difficulties in the pregnancy...then, yeah. I'm sure you'd rather save your pet over other circumstances.

I am pro choice, but the animal doesn't get a choice. You have to think about this from the pet's perspective. All they know is their babies were inside of them, healthy and safe. And all of a sudden they're gone. The animal doesn't understand why. A mother who has lost her child (for given most animals strong instinctive urge to reproduce this is what it would be for them) is in a badly irrational place.

There was an article I found not too long ago about a family who had given their dog an abortion. The dog didn't know what had happened, was confused and all messed up for days, and ended up getting scared and biting someone and getting put down. :/

You really shouldn't give an animal abortions same way you shouldn't give them drugs. They don't undetstand whats happened.

*EDIT* Also, spay and neuter your pets, your friends pets, your pets pets! :D Haha seriously, stray populations are ridiculous anymore. Its becoming a problem in my town cause of the college Im guessing, people dumping off unfixed cats left and right.

Ultimately it's all up to the human perspective, right? Animals are guided by instincts and probably wouldn't consent to such a procedure, whether or not it is necessary for their life. That's why it's up to us to make decisions for what is best for them. Just so long as the decision will be made with the well-being of the animal in mind, then I'd say it's a wise decision.

Funny that you didn't include pro-abortion in your list.
Yes, let's over-populate the world with not only people, but with stray animals as well.
Maybe your grandchild could catch one of these strays, and at least they'll have a pet for company as they watch the end of life on Earth.
