Wild, never knew that.
It's even more pronounced in smaller mammals like rabbits. If you don't spay your rabbit and don't let it breed within the first 3 years it will have ~80% chance of developing Uterine cancer and dying 12-18 months later. Usually dying beween 3 and 5 years old. A spayed rabbit, or one that's breeding will live to 8 if all goes well.
What is the biological cause of this increased risk?

It appears to be breast, ovarian and uterine cancers.
It appears to be exposure to the bodies sex hormones, primarily during reproductive years.
Taking certain types of hormonal birth control seems to have a similar protective effect, while others have an increased risk (At least in the case of ovarian cancers).
I knew there were increased risks for some women from longitudinal exposure to birth control, but I never knew it could have a protective affect in others. Biology is wild man. Our bodies and the things we put into them are constantly in a battle somewhere between saving us, and killing us at all times. It's both fascinating and also a bit terrifying really, at least to me.
Tldr, get out there and fuck everything that moves.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
He's trying to save that rabbit
Using birth control. Everything stays in an adolescent state. Getting pregnant once and aborting avoids this, but they keep that quiet.
