Animals are not a hobby
Yeah, but my point was that people generally spend money on things that make them happy. That could also be treating a friend to lunch, but that's not usually $20k.
So I guess what I was trying to say was, why is it suddenly a problem to spend $20k, when it's a pet and not something else, that clearly does not create any financial gain but only gives joy to the person spending the cash?
That’s true but I wanted to point out that keeping a pet healthy is something you should do because it’s your obligation as a pet owner and human with empathy, not because you personally enjoy its company.
Fair point
