wow that is quite some story. An acquaintance has a cat who has been ill for quite some time. These people are poor and want to get the animal helped, but the tests alone would mount to 500 $ and then it is still a question if there is a solution. We are searching but found nothing the cat reacts well to. He has had diarrhea on and off for almost a year now. Slippery elm bark, probiotics, and a few vet products have been tried with little result.
A substacker from NZ had a similar experience with his dog recently. I forgot his name but the dog was Hoolio.

Pets have short lives, but their tests and therapies are just as expensive if not more expensive than people stuff, usually without any compensating insurance and for much shorter life expectancies. If you count monies per extended life ratio, the investment in pets is MUCH higher than the comparable investments in people.

Yes, I imagine the guilt trips over pets yield lots of paying customers. I knew a guy whose wife had two dogs, both experienced hip degeneration. He paid over $15K for operations, and the dogs died anyway a year later.

Of course, there are those who freeze Fluffy's remains in hope of resuscitation at a later date, or stuff Fluffy at a taxidermist to forever have that beguiling stare.

If the pet cannot look forward to a quality of life, it is time for sayonara humane euthanasia. I would probably apply same some to people, too, that life merely extended is not necessarily life worth living. The philosophical sojourns over such issues are kind of annoying, and are routinely hijacked as we see by the psychopathic elites to just kill anybody they don't deem worthy of life.

Of course, euthanasia could also with people be the harvesting strategy of killing account holders and expensive consumers owed services and pensions, while the elites get all the blood drugs, stem cells, organs etc. they need for extended life. David Rockefeller was reputed to have had six heart transplants by the time he kicked the bucket.

$8k! In zee Ukraine vee gets four rocket launcher for theese! Good launcher, made in you ess of ayyy yes? Da, snap neck like Lira's neck, cat.

As a Gen Xer, I went from puppies and kittens being given away free in cardboard boxes outside the grocery store, to $$$ pet funerals and $10K surgeries.

I guess since these people have no children of their own, they can afford to pay for this shit.

There's always "taking it back behind the woodshed."
