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?

    Sometimes the hormones from testes change the meat flavor so they just castrate them for monetary reasons. Boar taint is what it’s called in pigs.
