Re: [pyrnet] Re: Stockguard: Aggression Q. and thank you

Not to make light of a difficult situation but when it was time to neuter
Jascha because there were some agression issues between a neutered female
and him, the vet (A MAN) expressed the opinion that the world might be
better if the same criteria applied to humans too!  Now, please, I know all
the reasons why this is wrong, but his point was a little bit of
testosterone goes a verrrry lonnnng way!
