I would sacrifice things for myself, I would run up credit cards, I would do whatever it takes. It's NOT "JUST AN ANIMAL". That is my family member, loyal friend, trusted confidant. That creature has always been there for me, no matter what my circumstances. You bet I would do whatever necessary.

(I know of 2 people in this situation right now.) You've got to draw the line somewhere and let Rover or Fluffy go to that great hunting ground in the sky...Karyn Lyndonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571088798286939007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-1118973765846480702005-06-16T21:02:00.000-05:002005-06-16T21:02:00.000-05:00I think this is taking it a bit too far.

I love animals, have some now and have always had at least one pet, but I would draw the line at suing over a pet's death or even spending huge amounts on vet care. <BR/><BR/>A guy I work with just spent $1300 to cure an intestinal obstruction in his cat (hair ball). I could not afford to do that, but even if I could, I'd have a tendency to say "It's just an animal". I know I'll probably get in trouble for voicing that opinion. <BR/><BR/>I don't know where I found your blog, Duke, probably in someone's comments or blogroll. I'll be back.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-1118972966589984442005-06-16T20:49:00.000-05:002005-06-16T20:49:00.000-05:00Hi, I hit Next Blog and stumbled on your site. Goo...Hi, I hit Next Blog and stumbled on your site. Good Discussion topic. I don't understand why doctors have to be infallible. I am sure that this vet did everything he could to save this sheepdog. Emotional distress... Sure, but there is a limit. Most parents end up telling their kids that the dog went to live on a farm when they put it down. Death is a part of our existance like it or not. Suing others also is, but I think we as a society need to find a limit to foolishness. Those are my thoughts.GMadridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807669423150873010noreply@blogger.com
