Animals as property
Sadly, I don't think that most people care that much about their animals. Pets are just that... pets - like goldfish, mice, hamsters, dogs, cats, turtles, and chameleons. Prices are bad enough now, who could afford the medical care of animals if the costs were equivalent to a child's.
You can't insure the life of a pet either... too many people would be 'knocking off' fido for the money!!
I'm on my second Service Dog... I don't get them free, get money from the government, or anything like that... BUT I sure do wish I could insure their lives! The costs of purchase, training, and equipment are quite steep added to all the other regular costs.
RE: Recalls - - Manufacturers recall products all the time for people... drugs, baby products, food, autos... might as well recall pet food and treats, too!
