Title: India offers firearms permits for vasectomies
Post by: Hazcat on March 22, 2008, 07:55:51 AM
A scheme that trades one male status symbol for another has achieved a large rise in the number of men undergoing vasectomies in a bandit-ridden region of central India.

Shivpuri district in the state of Madhya Pradesh, an overpopulated area renowned for its machismo culture, has started to offer fast-tracked gun licences for those who agree to be sterilised.

“This is a state with a high number of dacoits [bandits], where people like to keep rifles,” Manish Shrivastav, the administrative chief of Shivpuri and originator of the lateral thinking behind the plan, said.

“It also has a low level of vasectomies because of a perceived notion of manliness. I decided to match that with a bigger symbol of manliness — a gun licence. It has been a success.”

The results are impressive: 139 men have undergone vasectomies in the district since the incentive of a firearms permit was introduced a month ago, compared with only eight in 2007.

Not quite castration, but getting close. Any bets on when one of the above, "alleged" women will try to push that here ? I mean if WE keep breeding there will not be enough room for our "undocumented guest workers" ???

I wish they would offer that program in Oakland...  Might just stop the bangers from breeding.

I suppose it would take castration to get one in Illinois or D.C. or New York, huh?   ???
