Comment on Is pet care a privilage that only "rich countries" have? Do you think people from poorer countries should be judged for not taking their pets to a vet?
I asked because my parents are like “pets that get sick should just get tossed into the trash so they don’t infect us” lol
That’s horrible.
They grew up in poverty and dealt with famines in a post-WW2 war-torn nation.
“Not taking to the vet” and “tossing in the trash” are miles apart.
I mean for perspective… people in my grandma’s generation would just eat the cat before they got too old.
Kinda like livestock… with a dual purpose of pest control…
And before westerners starts sterotyping… reminder again that this is a war-torn country devastated by japanese imperialism and famines were common.
