To surgically remove the reproductive organs from a female animal is called spaying. The surgery is known as ovario-hysterectomy and both the uterus and ovaries are removed, which leaves the animal unable to reproduce. The Humane Society encourages this practice as a means of controlling the over population of animals. More than ten million cats and dogs, without homes, are euthanized each year.
