Reply #14: Finding loopholes has become fine art in the Orthodox Jewish

I neutered a tomcat for an Orthodox couple one time. Took some doing. They are not supposed to neuter animals - goes against God's will or some such. So they consulted with their rabbi (they DID want to be responsible pet owners)- he instructed them to sell the cat to me for $1, have me neuter what was then MY cat, and then buy the neutered cat back from me for $1 plus the normal neutering fee. We did all the paperwork to document this (in case God did an audit, I suppose). Everybody was happy. I thought it was humorous.
