We had a dog that had been hit by a car at my place last year. I was at work, my wife was at home. The vet said we could bring the dog in and he would put it down for $750. I wound up taking the afternoon off and going home to put the dog down myself. This dog had to suffer for two hours waiting for me to get home to shoot it. . . . . Why? Because my wife couldn't do it, and because a vet wanted to make $743.70 profit off of a single shot. Why do I know the amount of profit? Because be buys his supplies from the same place we buy feed, and it costs $6.30 for enough of the drug to put down around nine large dogs. I can understand making a living, I cannot understand doing this to a suffering animal.
I don't get to charge people $750 for a $6 cooling fan when I replace one in thier system. Why? Because nobody would pay it. So it pisses me off when somebody is going to do the same thing to me knowing that most people will pay it to stop an animals suffering.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
