    Also…maybe its my country speaking, but chemo is fucking expensive. I love my pets tremendously, but it seems wasteful to dedicate all that time and money to an animal, even if they are a beloved pet.

      “Expensive” is relative. If you’re making 300k a year, chemo for your pet might only cost 3% of your annual salary. Someone making 50k a year can easily spend 3% of their salary ($1,500) on their pet even without any medical emergencies.

      I agree it seems unethical, though. I hadn’t though of that before this thread, and now I’m sad…
