Animal-lover Katherine Heigl stars in this hilarious 'I Hate Balls' PSA, which promotes [pet neutering and spaying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-dogs) for the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation.

In this funny PSA produced by Funny or Die, the 33-year-old actress tells the world that the reason she strongly encourages people to neuter and spay their pets is because she really just hates testicles...a lot. Heigl, a natural at goofy comedy, says, "Unfortunately I can’t cut the nuts off human men — yet. So I’ve dedicated my time to the [neutering of dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humane-world-for-animals) because that’s legal." Heigl's hubby, musician Josh Kelley, also makes a brief appearance in the PSA.

The 'I Hate Balls' PSA goes hand in hand with the launch of IHateBalls.com, where people can buy 'I Hate Balls' merchandise; proceeds from the sales will go to the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation.
