In humans, we don’t usually castrate them because it throws their hormones out of whack, and causes all kinds of issues, but wouldn’t that also be the case for some animals, since their hormones systems are fairly similar?

Why is it that that we remove the testicles entirely, rather than giving them vasectomies like we do for humans?

    Idk how it would be for other animals, but for me it barely lasted 10 minutes (local anesthesia included).

      Yea but human ball sacks (and dicks) are quite disproportionate to body size compared to nearly every species and bigger things are generally easier to work with
