To be fair, I'd rather put my dog down than put it through chemo.
Humans can understand the agony is for a reason. Your pet can't. Don't keep your pets alive for yourself.
Also, is it really so shitty for a publication to provide tips on cutting costs when the economy is in the shitter? Im sure most news sites are barely hanging on by a thread, so it's not like they're benefiting from the economy being fucked.
Yes, it is, and you’re a huge bootlicker for trying to side with fucking Bloomberg, of all sources.
Instead of calling them a bootlicker you could try to explain why you feel they are wrong.
Chemo is awful to go through. If my pet got cancer I rather make it quick for them rather than prolong the agony.
Not looking for sympathy here. Had to put one of mine down for the same reason. The very said that maybe she would get better, but she was completely miserable already and wouldn't have understood.
OK, buddy
You should be in jail for your love of animal abuse.
I don’t think you should put dogs through chemo. I also don’t think Bloomberg is anything but evil pro corporate propaganda. And thirstily jamming the cocks of the elites down your throat every chance you get is cowardly and shameful and I’m not going to pretend that it isn’t.
Also, trying to give a dog medical attention isn’t animal abuse that deserves jail time, shut up forever with that shit. What a stupid thing to say.
fyi, chemo for pets is much milder than for humans
This. The primary goal of chemotherapy in pets is to minimize symptoms to improve their quality of life. It’s nowhere near the high dosage that humans undergo in order to completely eradicate their cancer.
My cat is technically on chemotherapy. She gets a pill 3 times a week and a blood test every 3 months to check that it isn’t causing issues with her bone marrow.
So far, no symptoms. Without it, she’d probably have died a year and a half ago. When I used to hear about a pet getting chemo, I had a mental image of a really sick pet, but it’s pretty much the opposite.
