    I too only value people, animals, and things, for the monetary returns they bring in.

    No wait, that’s not true, because I’m not a fucking psychopath.

        You sound like a slave stockpiling brownie points with your master instead of realizing the yoke around your neck.

        Enjoy that. I guess.

          Nope. Just don’t waste my $$. For less, people can adopt a new pet. There are tons waiting in shelters.

          I’ve seen plenty of dogs and cats that were long past their quality of life. Selfish prick owners.

            OK, but that’s not what people are arguing with you about. I don’t think people would disagree with you if you were only talking about spending money on pets to extend their lives without making them happy/comfortable. But there are a lot of instances where you can increase your pets lifespan without losing any quality of life. Sometimes that’s expensive, and it can be a really hard choice to make (especially if you have trouble affording it), but it sounds like you’re arguing that people shouldn’t spend a lot of money on their pets no matter what. That’s absurd.

              If you spend thousands for a hip replacement for your dog. You’re an idiot.

              Same with other expensive “quality of life” procedures.

              Go get another friggin’ dog.

                Some people love their pets. Sounds like you just can’t understand that.

                    If you really love your cat, why do you think it’s wrong to spend money to prolong her life? Assuming it doesn’t involve suffering on her part, of course.
