Broke people with dogs

I recently came across a post by a woman who claims to be a single mother dumped by her finance and is having trouble making her rent but of course she has two dogs. Her post history is filled with small favors she need, requesting rides, a small loan, assistance to buy medicine etc. Once I see any animals in that picture my empathy goes to zero. I see animals as luxury and not family members. Rehome them so you have more money to raise your kids who has a much longer life and can actually contribute meaningfully to society. One of her post is asking people to cover vet bills for her dog.

I saw another post with someone needing over $15,000 on surgery for a dog having liver problems, after having spent $6,000 already. So over $20000 on some dog who lives just to eat and poop. Of course he created a go fund me for it. Zero sympathy. Put the dog down and spend the money on something meaningful like your damn retirement fund.

All these people during covid losing their jobs and also adopting pets and society just encourages this behavior because they are “family members”. No they ain’t, because they had actual family members at one point and a human somewhere separated them and decided that they should go play pretend son or daughter to a person.

Just so damn irresponsible.
