And since we mostly put our animals to sleep when we don't want to pay to have them treated i assume you are suggesting that people who can't afford to pay should also be euthanized?roster wrote:Slinky wrote: Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The second patient (senior citizen) seeks treatment in a market that is heavily regulated and funded (about 50%) by the Federal government.
The first patient (Retriever) seeks treatment in a market which the Federal government has not interfered in.
Markets unencumbered by governments produce far better results for consumers.

Great jokes on both sides.
What about the story that in Canada, while humans were put on long waiting lists for MRIs, the same machines were being used at night for vet animal patients? Is there any truth to that? That would be pretty disturbing.

No, she was probably put in a room with another woman who was moaning from dementia and liked to scream in the middle of the night....

"Don't blame me," said the doctor. "My fee is only $50. Most of that is for the lab work and the cat scan."
Somebody did not do their homework. The free market has provided some excellent, inexpensive ways to determine if a pet is dead. My all-time favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218
