[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be hard to be brave, and do the right thing for an animal that doesn't have any autonomy.

Please ignore the posts comparing dogs to human children. They are probably bots bought and paid for by the private equity veterinary industry. Which is only interested in extracting as much money from you as possible, and actively plays on your guilt. This industry does NOT have the best interest of pet animals in mind. Only profit. And it uses some pretty insidious techniques to separate you from increasingly eye-popping sums.

There's a reason pets have gotten so expensive. Sure, there are think-pieces galore about increasing isolation and the crisis of loneliness, but the pets piece is at least partially by design. All that *content*, all those "cute" clothes (clothes! for animals!), the damp-eyed emotional messaging... [b]it's a con[/b]. Or at the very least, a marketing strategy. It is deployed to change your thinking around animals, and to increase your spending. f

Short answer: love your pets, be kind to all animals, know that the time to say goodbye might be before the last breath. [/quote]

This is fascinating. I’m not sure how bots work - are you saying private companies buy bots to spread messages/push ideas? I didn’t realize this.

I appreciate your post; you helped me look at things from a new lens. [/quote]

It's a well known thing for foreign bots to attack Americans on known weaknesses ... they go for race, lack of medical care and in general, attention to pets. I had a high degree of suspicion when someone posted earlier that in the US state of (GA? Maybe) someone claimed there were large packs of stray dogs that roamed the streets and she didn't feel safe walking with her kids. Or something.

In the US one of the things we somehow sort of get right (that being a comparative term) is that we actually do have things like animal control officers and fines and required licensing for our pet dogs who have to be vaccinated to get those licensing.

Where they DO have roaming packs of stray dogs ... that would be Russia and only because I have relatives who still live in Russia. Also the middle east. Lots of stray cats and dogs alike.

But that's not really a thing in the US. Who here who lives in the US has a real problem with roaming stray unvaccinated domestic dogs who are not coyotes or wolves?

That was made up imho[/quote]
