Ina, you're definitely right about this, it's not the first time I've seen the cultural differences (nor will it be the last!)
Although, I'm definitely against declawing cats, and I rarely approve of behavioral drugs, let alone the way they're tossed about like candy here!
Regarding the medical and behavioral benefits/cons to neutering, this is why I love that article I posted. It breaks down all the different behaviors and medical issues that have been scientifically studied (with references to actual studies) for both intact and fixed animals. It gives statistics that I think are important to see when making decisions about what to do with your dogs. I think it's very fair in the way it presents everything (not taking a side for or against) so I think it's a good read!
