Entropy, I'm sure they'll thank you later when they're not having the urge to be out and about roaming and getting hit by cars. A fixed animal is a happy animal *wishes she could get all of her female rats spayed... little street-walkin' hussies*

All of my animals are spoiled in a good way. None of them get clothes put on them(well.. the rats... but that's DIFFERENT! shush...I have pictures..), all just get fed properly, socialized, and they know their place in life.

All of my rats(pets), 25+, eat organic, natural foods(mmmm Kashi...). I, on the other hand, eat generic stuff from cans... But hey, they actually eat cheaper than I do, LoL. My rats, snakes and other critters are my kids, as I don't want any of the human species. I like spoiling them as they only live 3 years or so. They're worth it.
