Ridiculous argument.

Ummm what? Now who has the ridiculous argument. This is a debate about the appropriate amount that an owner is "obligated" to spend on EMERGENCY VET BILLS.
Healthy dogs and cats have no place in this debate. Although that is a good point. You're comparing sick dogs and cats to healthy non-domestic animals? Perhaps we should go one step further. Is the farmer irresponsible if he has a sick horse and kills it instead of properly budgeting to spend $$ on vet bills? Why was I even comparing healthy cows/pigs/chickens to sick dogs and cats. I should be using comparable examples. It is even worse that we knowingly kill healthy animals like cows and pigs!
What about the ones that aren't used to feed the human race? Is it ok to kill them?
Since you missed it, because you didn't read my post, I already addressed the lame "but we need them for food" argument in my post.
