Take Responsibility

Dear Public:

You need to realize and accept something:   veterinary care is optional.  Meaning, you can choose to do it or not.  And when the answer is "not", then euthanasia is a perfectly acceptable option.   Trying to make me feel guilty for not paying for the diagnostics and treatment of your pet is not going to work.  Choosing to let your pet suffer from something that *could* be treated if you hadn't spent your money on crack...  well, that's animal cruelty.

It's not cruel for me to recommend euthanasia when a pet is suffering from some human-induced illness (like, rat bait ingestion, steak bone obstruction, pancreatitis from all those table scraps, etc)  and you can't afford to do for anything but pay for an exam.  Of course, that crack pipe needed filling, didn't it?

Did you think that coming in here and crying to me and telling me that you have NO funds available is going to make me say, "oh my, I feel SO sorry for you.  Here, let me do everything for free and then you don't have to feel guilty for feeding your 7 lb Chihuahua steak bones and giving him aspirin cause you thought he had a headache."

Nope.  Not gonna work.  In fact, the weakness you show by acting like a child because you can't have your way and expect someone else to pay for your responsibilities?  Disgusting.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit thinking about it.
