Here's another terrible opinion: pet owners have skewed the economy of veterinarianism such that farmers and livestock owners have trouble getting vets because they're too busy dealing with the guy on reddit the other day whining about how he spent $2000 on a credit card to save his pet rat. Supply is limited (much like doctors, only so many seats at vet schools), and demand for pet veterinarians outstrips it to the point that the one in the article was talking about having a half million in student debt.
You're making the world a worse place than it has to be. Your cat spread T. gondii everywhere, has decimated (or worse) local song bird populations, and your house smells.
Just because you're in the majority, doesn't mean you're in the right about this.
