You know this is supposedly to be a forum of animal lovers here and lately it has spewed forth a mass of people who are willing to sit back and whine poor me and I need your hug ect ect all the while their animals are in pain and suffering and or maybe dying. They say they have no money, the vet is out of town, or a dozen other reasons that these cats and dogs are not being treated and we just sit and say poor you or I feel bad you are in a bad situation and yet the animal suffers on. Is that how we as animal lovers show we care ? Well I have had enough of it !! I can not be nice to people who will allow animals to suffer. No matter what the reason because they can and should give the animal to the shelter or somewhere that it can get the medical attention it so desperately needs !! We get new tattoos, piercings , hairdos, cars, vacations, and God knows what else and share that here and then say gee can not get the pet help because of no money and still keep said pet knowing said pet is ill and suffering because of your own greed ! Those of you who are guilty of this **** me off beyond words and I do not feel sorry for you I do feel sorry for you poor pet, and I wish you would wake up and smell the cold blooded cruelty before you. I am sickened and down right freaking pissed off that you are here calling yourself pet lovers !!!
I Am Angry And I Don't Care Who Gets Mad !!!!!!

i understand how mad you are. got both of my dogs because people were lazy, greedy, stupid. they were too stupid to know that dogs needed attentio and love. and were to lazy to get up and feed the dogs or check on them or other things were more imprtant that food.i get just as angry about the situation that i read about here. the dogs do nothing but love their owners. i have only read two posts lately that i think you are talking about. and each time everyone did their best to get what was right done for the animals.
we love and care for these dogs that aren't ours. and it pains atleast me knowing these animals suffered because people were to greedy, stupid or lazy to care for them correctly. i give my advice and willingnessto help... and if given the chance i would help the dogs. you name it and i'm there.
there are a lot of animal lovers here. and i have recently gotten to know a lot of them a little better since i started posting more. i agree there are some people on here that i disagree with completely but compaired they are in the minority here.
i am not lashing out at you. nor am i angry about your post. i just wanted to psot my two cents

Be woman enough and call names:lol-sign: , no sense ranting and raving behind the curtains LMFAO:lol-sign: .......call names...It sure as hell cant be me, my puppy has been to the vet 7 times in 8 weeks so go figure. Call names for those who are pizzing you off so . It is not what you say with words but HOW you say it you seemd a bit, lets say urked?:lol-sign: .
. It is not what you say with words but HOW you say it you seemd a bit, lets say urked?:lol-sign: .Let's us just say this and go from there the guilty parties know who they are and let me say this it is not just dogs and finally let me say this I have sent more then my fair share of money to help many out who are in the position but I am fed up with reading how they will not tend these animals. So if you feel I am out of line so be it and if you feel that it is ok to pat people on the back who will just allow an animal to suffer and die so be it I am sick of it.

Aussie...
The reason I left this board for so many months is exactly what your angry with.
The members of this board are happy to feel sorry for and make people think it is okay to not take care of their dogs health... yet they are the same people to jump all over someone in a thread about dog strollers of all things.
My family should own a part of the vets office... Within the last two years we have had 2 spays, knee surgery, cancern surgery on a cat, xrays and sonograms of EVERYTHING you can imagine, sick visits GALORE, etc. When not sure the animals go off to the vet and we have to figure out the money situation AFTER... thats the responsibilty of having a pet.
But hey all those people who dont go to the vet really love their animals and I am the bad pet owner on the board because my dogs go in a pet stroller
Dont you just love Chaz?!

Aussie, Im not sure if this is about me but if it is, I am so sorry that I have made you mad. I know I am not of great as an animal lover as I could be, but I am trying to improve. Setting money away for the next surprise vet visit needed, things like that.
Once again, I apologize, but if this is me you're ranting about, please take note that my cat has been kept at home rather than the vet once, and it was the first, and will be the last. It was a one time thing, I am I **** lucky she didn't die because I was to stupid to take her to the vet.
And just one more time, Im really sorry if it was something I did that got you upset like this.

Not sure what threads pi$$ed you off Aus, but I can see where you are coming from! I try to stay away from certain threads in the fire hydrant area. I am here to talk about animals not some of the other things people post in the fire hydrant about their personal lives. I only respond to topics that interest me and try to stay out of personal threads of whining, complaining, etc. People should ONLY have as many animals as they can afford and not be greedy and own more and more. I have one dog who gets treated like a prince, fed only the best, and has been to the vet as many times as he needs to for GI issues. I have a credit card just for him with a $3000 dollar limit on it for an emergency. Sometimes Joyce, even though it can be hard you have to try and stay away from certain threads that bother you. Believe me I know it can be very hard, but some people don't have their priorities straight as you have noticed
I know it's hard Auss.......REALLY HARD especially when you do what you do for animal rescue. You see more than some of us could bare. I agree that your pets should be given medical treatment the same as you would seek it for yourself..........BUT..........
We really never know the whole story though until we are in someone elses shoes. I know that I have said I would never do this or that........and it has turned out differently when I was IN the thick of it.
(((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))

I gotta hop in here because I remember why Poodlemommy left here and I took off myself for awhile, but I was new so nobody really noticed.
Poodlemommy was right then and Aussie is right now. My God if you are going to let your pet suffer while you type, at LEAST have the courtesy not to post it here so we don't know what you are really up to! Don't tell us your sordid cruelty story and ask what you can do when you know darned well the only thing you MUST do is get your pet to the vet right now instead of posting pity threads. Because you don't get the pity when you do that, your pet does! You get the other end of what's on our minds and you deserve it.
It's sickening folks! Downright sickening to watch. I am talking physically sickening here. And your esteem level goes to zero in the minds of people who truly care and would make certain they do the right thing for their animals, even if it meant cutting off cable service, cutting off internet service, or even cutting out a Happy Meal!
Our pets are captive. What we do about that goes to character, period.

Wow, looks like I missed some drama. It is unthinkable to me that people let their animals suffer. I can't tell you how many times I have pulled out the credit card to take Charlie to the vet. Once I even had to ask my boss for a loan, and luckily he is a dog lover so he was agreeable. Like someone else said, I would surrender him to a rescue before I would let him go without medical treatment. But before I would surrender him to a rescue I would have to be pretty much homeless. Charlie is like my kid and I just can't imagine letting anything happen to him. I guess some people don't feel that way about their dogs, and I wish those people would not choose to have dogs at all (or kids!).
On the other hand, I will say that not every single little thing requires an immediate trip to the ER vet. I have seen threads where people post something like "my dog has a bump on his leg" and everyone freaks out about why the dog is not being rushed to the emergency vet.
I'm sure for Aus to post this thread, the situation she was referring to was more serious, I'm just throwing my two cents in.

This happens on every dog forum, this one is by no means unique.
So now is my standard public service announcement about pet insurance. Some companies are only slightly better than useless (coughVPIcough), but some provide a very high level of service (and in my experience for not that much more than the useless ones charge). Here's a link: http://www.petinsurancereview.com/
And here's a link to the company I have policies with: http://www.gopetplan.com

That is why i have repeatedly said if you do not have the money for the vet you can not have the pet...and no matter what before you extend your pet family you should think if you can cover the first one let alone two or more. No one really wants to be that kind of sorry. Tis also the reason i believe so strongly in art unleashed and donating to the humane society. If more cities would put it together they might find a similar support IS there and could set up a not for profit clinic. Educate the masses at least try and keep trying. NOt looking is easy, losing sleep is actually a good thing, it might motivate to make a difference. Install a need for brainstorming.
I will not get another dog when My Mary leaves me for this very reason and that is just a shame. The price of vet care has sky rocketed, not saying they don't earn each and every penny but but but......there will never be enough good homes with people that could provide a decent life but not a decent health care. WE need to find better answers. Yet when you try to drum up some support here or anywhere else, it just isn't easy. I tried like crazy to get everyone at the clay guild to pitch in, and most people said maybe, then didn't. I encouraged 3. IT's a small bit and it wasn't near enough. I don't believe that leaving is the answer. Stay the course is the only thing that will help, no matter how remote.

are you refering to my thread about my cat? http://www.chazhound.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61617
I did get her medical treatment, and I was not whinning poor me, I'm sorry if that's how it came across. I wanted advice on what I could to THAT DAY to make her more comfortable until she went to the vet the next day. I had a 4 hour college lecture that day (no way out of that one) and I had to work an 8 hour shift. She was not dying or in any huge amounts of pain. I also like to go into a vets office with some idea of what may be going on. I research, talk to people, talk to the shelter vet, etc. While I know some, I do not know everything.
I agree, there are posts where the animal needs a vet visit while the person was typing, but that was just not the case with my cat. I work as a vet tech, I know when she needs to go. (granted I work mostly with dogs, and do not know as much about cats)
My cat did recieve medical attention, and she will be going back for a follow up visit sometime next week. I personally would feed my animals before feeding myself. In the past 3 months, the dog has been to the vet for his check up, one cat went for an e-visit, and then a dental surgery + pain meds for an infection, and then this last cat.
I know this forum is no sub for a vet visit, and I know some people use it as such. I don't agree with that, but if you are refering to my post, I do take offense to that.

How many times have I payed out of my own pocket to help an animal in need---and not my own. Why? Because I am an animal lover and I would feel responsible if I could help and chose not to do anything. I will not tolerate animal cruelty, and I do not wash my hands of it because the animal is not mine. If I can not afford to spend my own money on an animal in emergency need then I work to find someone who can help. Period. Watching an animal who needs emergency care and failing to do anything about it (even if the animal is owed by another) makes a person guilty of neglect- neglecting to do anything about the problem. Sure, this is a touchy subject, but if you can not afford to cover the basic needs of a pet, and this does include vet care, then you should not own the animal.
I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, and my vet office knows me on a first name basis. We are not a rich family, we have our priorities straight.

I have mixed feelings about it.........first IF I had a sick animal and IF I didn't know what to do or couldn't afford to visit the vet's. I think that for the most part those people are taking great pleasure in getting a forum or people all worked up.
And are they hoping that people are going to send them money? Wouldn't be the first time.
I always question their motives and for the most part I am not very sympathic etc..........
