Look at it another way: just about every successful human cancer treatment we have originated in canine veterinary trials. She’s paid willingly out of love and affection for something that may be of benefit to you or someone you love, eventually.
Once the Gov’t distorts and ruins the market for human care, we will sadly find out how efficient, cheap and fast canine care will become, as it will remain untouched by Gov’t interference.
I agree. She used her money, didn’t ask for government help, didn’t whine to the media for sympathy, she has a pet she truly loves and decided it was worth it.
How many people would even think about ripping her if it was a award winning racehorse? Top breeding bull? Another animal ‘worth’ a lot? You say, those things have worth recognized by others. Well, what about the worth of that animal to her? Love and loyalty that animal gave back to her? to her that animal is not replaceable. Think about the time she’s put into that animal. They aren’t rolexes or lexuses you just swap for another.
Further this allows vet medicine to progress for all of us.
