In pet-loving nations such as Australia, nobody likes the idea of dogs churning out litters in squalid conditions or sitting homeless in a shelter. 在澳大利亚等喜爱宠物的国家里，没人喜欢看到狗狗在肮脏的环境里制造垃圾，或者无家可归地呆在收容所里。 Responsible dog owners are therefore strongly encouraged to desex their pets, through programs such as national desexing month and low-cost surgery schemes. In some places in Australia, it is even compulsory. 因此我们强烈鼓励负责任的狗主人给宠物做绝育，可以通过“全国绝育月”和“低成本手术方案”来实现。在澳大利亚一些地方，甚至有强制性要求。 But as we try to limit unwanted dogs, experts estimate there is demand in Australia for nearly half a million new puppies every year. 但因为我们在努力控制意外出生的狗宝宝数量，专家估计澳大利亚每年有近50万只新生狗宝宝的需求。 Many desexed family pets are the ideal parents of the next generation of family companions, having demonstrated their ability to fit in with family life. Yet by desexing as early as possible, we are removing the best source of happy healthy pets from the doggy gene pool. 许多做了绝育的家庭宠物可以成为下一代家庭宠物的理想父母，它们有适应家庭生活的能力，但早早被绝育了，我们就是从狗狗基因库中去掉了最好的幸福健康宠物的基因。 |
