No, I won’t, and I haven’t for over 13 years since the first time, at age 14, that it occurred to me that I had that choice.
You obviously don’t understand animals. “seem” to develop a personality? What horseshit. You are probably the type who would raise a pet the way they take care of a knick knack on a shelf. Personal opinion: your kind of person should never have pets or children. Actually, I wish there were a way of screening society so that I wouldn’t have to come in contact with that sort of person ever, at all. People who can’t understand and relate to animals lack something in their personalities that I consider to be essential.
As for other comments: there is indeed health insurance for pets. If you think otherwise you’re just being ignorant.
I would spend whatever it took to save my pets, if there were a chance that they would have a good life afterward. We recently spent over $2,000 on vet bills to save two of our cats from liver failure; our dog recently ate on of my son’s toys and we were faced with the possibility of a $1,000+ surgery which we would have paid without hesitation (fortunately he was able to throw it up while he was hospitalized).
You can carry on as much as you like, but I will never be swayed from the opinion that there is very little that separates humans from any other type of animal.
