Usage examples (38)

  • Some shelters are opting for late-term spay -- to abort the entire litter -- so they don't have to euthanize them.
  • Since we also have a third, female cat, I looked up "spay," and it said "enlever les ovaires de," which seems a bit long.
  • It's our responsibility to spay and neuter our pets.
