when you’re told you’re privileged because you believe not taking your animals to the vet is neglectful

ok im gonna add onto this, if u dont mind

if youre going to have pets, their needs are a TOP priority

if you cant afford vet bills, PLEASE dont get pets.

its not about poorer people not “deserving” pets its literally just. a shelter may provide better care than you can

not taking your animals to the vet is medical neglect and its cruel

their needs come above your wants because theyre living breathing creatures who depend on you

you are their whole world. take care of your animals

I don’t normally add on to posts but I want to add onto this as a person who grew up in poverty whose family remains in poverty. I watched my mom’s dog suffer until he was in constant pain every single day and had no sentience left to him because my mom has always always always believed that vet care is optional and it has been too expensive for her. So she let him suffer for years.

My childhood cat was allowed to develop untreated and undetected intestinal tumors that led to a slow and painful death for her because it was seen as unnecessary to take animals to the vet in my family even if they are outright suffering.

If you cannot afford to take your pets to the vet and cannot set aside emergency funds for your pets, do not get a pet. It is animal abuse to not seek out medical attention for your pets when they need it, just like it would be child abuse to allow a human child to suffer untreated from any illness or injury.

Having a pet is a luxury, not a right. It’s not about deserving a pet, it’s about the responsibility of caring for another creature to the absolute best of your ability and being responsible enough to find that animal a new and better home if you find you can’t meet its standards on your own. I’m sick of hearing people say it’s classist to say you shouldnt have a pet if you can’t afford it.

From one poor person to everyone else, an animals life, comfort, and health are more important than your desire for animal companionship. You can do without. They can’t.

I have been called classist for responding to asks that asked for medical help with their rats by saying that they need to go to a vet. I turned off asks because I am not a vet and it was so upsetting to me when I replied to people whose rats were obviously in so much pain or severely injured with “please take them to a vet asap!” and got “you’re a classist bitch not everyone can afford to take their pets to the vet!!!” Like…. what do you want me to do here…
