LEV885 Do not castrate any creature. Hashem created His world with such perfection, nothing is lacking or superfluous. He desires to bestow blessing on man and all creatures by giving them the ability to reproduce, so each species will flourish and will not become extinct. Accordingly, if someone destroys a creature's ability to reproduce, he shows that he disdains Hashem’s work, and wants to destroy Creation’s perfection.
