I say relatively recently because I believe the veterinary medicine industrial complex has become a major money maker within the last 20 years. I'm glad you saw through the bullshit and saved your animal friend but from one Internet stranger to another I've personally seen what happens to older people when they lose the bond and responsibility a pet requires. I try not to think of the loss but of the gift that preceded it and most of the time it's easier said than done.
Yep....vets have gone the way of doctors....it's all about the money. There's a process for everything and you have to go through a wallet emptying process before they can treat your animal. Biggest scam now is they want to give the rabies shot every year. When I was growing up in the '70's it lasted their whole life....now they have a one year shot and a two year shot....what a scam....
You'd think in a society where pets have filled the role of children for a lot of middle aged women that killing pets would be the straw that broke the camels back but not so much it appears.
