14 DAY TRIAL // Towards the end of April, the US Food and Drug Administration announced that the morning-after pill was to be made available to girls 15 and up without their needing a prescription in order to get it.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) now says that, when it comes to puppies and kittens, birth control should start at just 8 weeks of age.
Since no Plan B is currently available for animals, the organization hopes that people will agree to take their advice and either spay or neuter their pets as early as possible.
“So responsible animal guardians should start their young charges off on the right paw—by spaying and neutering them as soon as possible. This prevents 'oops' litters before guardians realize that the animals are sexually mature,” PETA explains.
Here's hoping PETA's warnings will be given due consideration.
