Something pet owners (mostly dog owners) really hate to hear is that your pet cannot communicate to you what their quality of life is after you've dumped a few grand on surgery or whatever and you might have just burnt a ton of money and decided to make your pet live in pain for the rest of its life 🤷🏼

#This isn't really spurred by anything besides seeing a video where a rescue dog had a leg amputated #Like sorry guess I'm an asshole but. Maybe we could just put that one down. There's a trillion rescue dogs we do not need to save every #Single one of them forever. Same goes for cats and the neuter and release thing #It sucks but kill shelters aren't like... Ontologically evil there just isn't enough people to take every animal off the street/out of a bad #Situation #So maybe if the animal is going to have a massively life changing operation in order to maybe have a sort of decent quality of life #We could just not take that risk and put the poor thing down?#Same goes if you put your animal through surgery it'll likely have to go through multiple times* or you just can't guarantee #It'll fix the problem or not result in more pain for the animal #Sorry I had a dog put down when I was a small kid bc he kept getting a tumor n my parents were like look we can't afford it #N we don't know how he's feeling during or after the surgery. So it's better to just let him go.#N that made so much more sense to me than pouring money into a hole for nothing
