I mean I wouldn't eat dog food or get castrated for health benefits either, the norms of pet ownership are a little different.
Besides which, chemo is only as bad as the specific drug used for the specific cancer. "Chemo bad" is as broad a concept as "curing cancer", when really there's a lot of variance in there. Some chemos work great and some cancers are practically curable now. Some chemos are practically poison as a placebo and some cancers are almost a death sentence even now.
There is a correlation between people no longer having children and lavishing their misspent affection on pets instead. My wife gets particularly pissed off when she sees a couple with a little rat dog in a stroller.
Mutt nuts, dog nutters. Once you see and hear the disgusting obsession with them you can't unsee it. The fawning, the humanizing, the grandstanding, the pride, all for a stinky beast that would run out the front door if someone else gave them better food.
People in the west have taken their creation mandate to care for animals to far. In many ways, they are treated like human beings with the same inherent value.
Pets, as cute or as useful as they are, are not part of the family. You should go out of your way to show them kindness and to care for them. But at the end of the day, they are possessions. The people who spend thousands of dollars on their pets misappropriate their resources. This kind of decadence is permissible in a flourishing, peaceful society but we can no longer afford such luxuries. If you have that kind of money, raise children.
Because we live in a failed society, a broken community, so lacking in kinship, connection, and love for even family members, that people will dote on and selflessly devote that primordial energy towards a mutt instead of their people.
Imagine spending money on chemo for a dog when your family is struggling. And if not youe family there is probably plenty of human beings in your community that need some help. Nah I'm gonna spend money on dog chemo. Lol.
I remember pet medicine being something like 10x cheaper than human. Or was that just for scans? And how does that cost compare to getting a new dog of some expensive breed?
I once had a friend who spent like $30k (that he couldn’t afford) to put his cat through cancer treatment and chemotherapy. The cat was emaciated and suffering, and lived for another 7 months before the cancer came back. It was idiotic. Don’t get me wrong, I love cats (had to put down three of my elderly cats in the the last 3 years) but it was just childish.

You have about 10 minutes with a doctor to learn about your drugs.
Or - about 10,000 hours with chatgpt answering your questions

As in... that's a common sight or something?! I have never seen anyone deranged enough to carry a dog around in a stroller. O_o
They're out there, man... it's a sad, sad sight.

Why wouldn't you get chemo for yourself, if that's what a doctor recommends? This sounds like a you problem
Laughs in American medical costs
His name implies he's Canadian,
so he'd get MAID'd, gotcha.
He could also just be French though.
Youre acting like I have a choice lol
in getting MAID'd
Or being French?
Lol a lady in canada was recently MAIDed against her will
Also an aunt of me got diagnosed with possible cancer. by the time the oncologist met her - 18 months - the cancer had metastized to phase 4.
She died.
Ah the secret MAID the public system has been running for decades.
Oooooh yeah, the woman who after 1h after definitively stating it was against her beliefs. So much shit the last few weeks, I'd forgotten that.
Go down swinging at least mate.
You really, really think I'm gonna trust doctors??????
After all that happened????????????????? REALLY?

Why are you posting this here? How is this relevant to this board?
Goddamn fucking handshake accounts.
Because chemo is trash? Modern medicine is trash? Wtf is this sub supposed to be about then?
If you don't know then you shouldn't be here.
I guess I shouldn't be here then
I'll leave, it's fine. Dw.

Disgusting.
It's not uncommon for dogs to get chemo. My grandmas dog had and the dog lived for a few more years after that.

Was not expensive at all. Does not compare with human chemo in terms of costs.
What's the cost?
