You know, if you don't want your pets having children, shouldn't spaying/neutering/castrating be the one of the FIRST things you do?
I really have to wonder if the anons who only say 'no kids' to their pet yukkuri are just surprisingly dumb, or are trying to troll their pets. ......I vote for the troll explanation.

Or they trust a dumb creature that, even if dumb, is capable of speaking the same language than them and if willing and not shitty they'll understand, so they expect them to have an easier understanding about house rules than average pets?
In fact, it's not really dumb to ask them not to refresh and stuff, if they are quality pets, they won't, it was shown, as much they may ask in a future if they could try, politely. Sometimes owner may let them refresh later in better times and such, so that may be a reason for not neutering them.
But since this are Remiryaakir yukkuris, usually those that want babies are shit tier pets that actually shouldn't be pets to begin with, if anything the anon should get rid of them instead of wasting money and food. Don't blame the anon or claim it's being stupid or troll when it's all the yukkuris fault, since let's face it, when they want, they do follow the rules, and when one have a pet, specially one that speak, one have more trust and a bit of expectation on such pet.
You're expecting yukkuris to resist their instincts just because you told them to. That only really works with gold and above badged ones. If you have a silver or below one, and you don't want it to have kids, then why not castrate it ahead of time? That way it probably wont feel the need to ask in the first place, and certainly wont go out and mate with a stray behind your back.
So maybe I shouldn't have called the anons dumb, just naive, or lacking a little in common sense.

You're expecting artists to not draw anything to appeal to 'common sense'. This isn't Gensokyo, but it's still not bound by that standard of 'common sense', and our lives are much more entertaining for it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't meet your standards, that's just how yukkuri things work. Remember the saying: everything screws itself backwards to abuse yukkuris. Even how we think.
Although in context, it's a good test of seeing if they're worthwhile pets. They should be able to resist that instinct if they are. But anyway, over-thinking, over-thinking.

P.S. Catlap induced one hand typing is annoying.
Maybe the anon may like ko's in a future, remember neutering is definitive, even in yukkuris, if somehow you neuter both reproductive methods, and later you may want your yukkuris to have kids you simply won't be able to.
You have to consider that some owners may think in longer term, and while having silver badged yukkuris, they may consider let them have kids if things are economically right, there is enough space and the yukkuris became gold badged or something.
It isn't always all about "You want them to refresh in teh moment or you want them to never refresh", some people may think "well maybe later when things get better, but for now NO!"
That's why trust is important, and the quality of yukkuris, and not necessarily even in badge standars, but in how willing and good the yukkuri is, badge aside.
It's not necessarily only about trust. There's also the possibility that castration doesn't fully last in that particular fanon due to yukkuri regenerative abilities. Might be only temporary so therefore it's costly to be constantly taking them in for castration. Not to mention, there's only a couple works I've read that indicate you can nullify stalk pregnancy from rubbing by burning the forehead.
Huh. I dunno, a lot of parents of children with learning disabilities often have their kids sterilized (and not just the vegetative droolers, but mid-range ones with mental abilities on part with yukkuris)
@JIE When I said "You don't want them to have kids", I meant you don't want them to have kids EVER. If you think you may want them to have kids later, then obviously you wouldn't get them neutered/spayed. I still say that the anons who say 'don't have kids' but don't neuter/spay them are trying to troll the yukkuris. (Unless that authors universe has it as being impossible to prevent stalk pregnancy's. In that case, I guess my argument is invalid. XP)
@Hourai While yukkuris regenerating their reproductive organs is rarely to never shown, that is a valid argument. But remember that there's been a decent number of images showing that yukkuri neuter/spaying can be pretty easily done at home, and is probably quite cheap or even free in some cases.
@SUN Some yukkuri, like the ones in this image, really make me doubt they have ANY sapience, since even animals, which are mostly non-sapient, will learn to NOT do something if they keep getting punished for it. Whereas it seems yukkuris are notorious for simply NOT learning from their mistakes.
(The term you probably meant to use is sapience. If you look it up you'll see that most animals meet the definition of Sentience, but only humans really meet the definition of Sapience. But heck, it seems EVERYONE makes that mistake, even I used too XP)

The only time I think I've seen stalk pregnancies prevented was branding the yukkuri's forehead.
Regardless of however cheap, convenient or logical and whatever the reasons it may be, the anons simply don't neuter their yukkuris because if they did, the comic strip would not exist. That's the real reason why. The question of why anons don't neuter or castrate their yukkuri if they don't want them to have children is as much futile as asking why some yukkuris got abused when they did nothing.
I still say that the anons who say 'don't have kids' but don't neuter/spay them are trying to troll the yukkuris.
That doesn't make sense. The whole point of telling them not to have kids while not neutering them is so they can follow that instruction. Telling them not to have kids after neutering them means nothing and isn't along the same idea.

Let me expand that line. I still say that the anons who say 'don't have kids' but don't neuter/spay them after they don't obey you, are trying to troll the yukkuris. In this comic, the anon had them castrated after the kept disobeying, so this anon actually seems to have some common sense.
