Maybe not. But it does state the following:

Seems to me that, since they don't mind the idea of
neutering prepubescent animals, that they wouldn't be too
much against the idea of mandatory S/N for ALL animals.

That's one heck of a leap.
I had a feral cat close to the house the other day, three-color, so I'm told
by my sister it has to be a girl. Now, I have no idea about color linked
sex patterns in cats, NOR do I care BUT two days later, there was a much
larger
dark feral cat sniffing around.
If I see them again, I am off to Tractor Supply for a have-a-heart trap and
a few cans of cat food and the cats will be off to the Berks County Animal
League. I don't know or care who the Animal League is affiliated with or what
their politics are, but I will leave the cats and a few dollars and if there
are kittens and they are spayed/neutered before they leave, all the better.
If the rule, when adopting a dog or cat from a shelter is to spay/neuter,
fine. If some males never realize their growth potential/masculinity or if an
occasional female is incontinent (small percentage), well I figure adopted is
better than being dead and spay/neuter is waaayyyyy better than me having to
deal with a feral cat colony in my woods..
