Hey Davet, have you seen this....

Oh yes, please post it...I AM curious...
...what does this say about me 
That you're observant and inquisitive 
Well Davet must be on hiatus again, so here goes:
"The day of non-surgical neutering is here!
The world's first FDA approved injecxtable sterilant for male puppies - Safe - Efficient - Profitable"
Neutersol
(zinc gluconate neutralized by arginine)
Addison Biological Laboratory
Here's some 'highlights' from the material product insert, it was lengthy, so only including excerpts:
Neutersol injectable solution is indicated for chemical sterilization in 3 to 10 month old male dogs
The safety and effectiveness of Neutersol has not been established in dogs less than 3 months of age or in dogs greater than 10 months of age
Do not use if the testicular width is less than 10 mm or greater than 27 mm
Transient testicular swelling is an expected reaction to the injection. Field and dose determination data indicates that the swelling begins 24 hours post-injection and peaks at 48 hours post-injection. By 1 month post-injection, most testicles will be atrophied. However, the degree of atrophy will vary individualy and there may be variability between the left and right testicles of the same dog. This should be condidered an expected response to the injection. Neutersol may not kill sperm present at the time of injection. Therefore, keep treated dogs away from females in heat for a t least 60 days post-injection. Unlike surgical castration, dogs treaed with Neutersol become sterile without removal of the testicles and, therefore, testosterone is not completely eliminated. Diseases which occur as a result of or in conjunction with testosterone hormones (prostatic disease, testicular or perianal tumors) may not be prevented. As with surgical castration, secondary male characteristics (roaming, marking, agression, or mounting) may be displayed.
Do not inject into the scrotal sac or scrotal skin.
Chemical restraint should be used, if necessary to prevent the dog from moving during the injection.
Do not allow dogs to bite or lick the scrotum after injection.
(listed under Adverse Reactions): Neutersol was observed to be painful in 2.6% of treated dogs
Six dogs vocalized and one dog kicked following injection.
(And the kicker): One dog returned to the clinic on day 3 for an ulcerated scrotum. The wound healed with medical therapy. The second dog was reported with a perforated scrotum and a severe scrotal infection on day 17 post-injection. The dog had licked and chewed through the scrotum down to the testicle. Surgical castration and scrotal ablation were performed.
And in other news...:

Contraceptive vaccine temporarily sterilises dogs
A contraceptive vaccine that makes dogs temporarily sterile could soon be available. But critics say the cost of repeated visits to the vet and human unreliability mean spaying or neutering should still be the first choice to avoid unwanted puppies.

Wow...I'm glad Mr. Blue was neutered the old-fashioned way!
Why would people think this is a better option, do you think? Is it to keep from having to put a dog under anesthesia?
For various reasons, all of which of course, are idiotic. Yes, anesthesia is one, but the most common reason of all, stupid men who can't bear to have a dog's testicles removed.
Note that the injection will not prevent the common diseases associated with intact male dogs.
I can't believe the FDA approved this.
