Any procedure that prevents a male from reproducing is forbidden.
This applies to male humans and to male animals, both Kosher and non-Kosher animals.
The prohibition includes using medication as well as surgical procedures done by either males and females.
One may not even ask a non-Jew to neuter one's animal, though one may buy a neutered animal.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always
Verse: "that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut... and don't do so in your land." (Vayikra 22:24)
