there is no higher benefit to any living things than to pass it's generic material to a new generation. sterilization is not in their interest, but AI is.

I believe being alive is of a higher benefit to any individual.

Dogs, cats and bunnies all live longer when spayed/neutered.

Spayed female cats in the study lived 39% longer and neutered male cats lived 62% longer. https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/why-you-should-spayneuter-your-pet#:~:text=Another%20study%2C%20conducted%20by%20Banfield,male%20cats%20lived%2062%25%20longer.
