Every one acts like every purebreed is a medical oddity when really it's just an increased likelihood of defects for certain breeds. I can tell you right now any animal can hurt your pocket the second they decide your gold plated anal beads look like a tasty treat.

Fair. My point was more that there are some breeds where it's not just "more likely" to have poor health.
That seems sort of cruel when some people can't afford health insurance for their people.
People dont have $50 a month. What ever what ever, no one should have a pet unless they can afford it and all the animals that can't find homes should be put down.
