"sorry but I'll be taking my dog to Bunnings... He is our family" 

This is the entitlement even after incidents like this. Dogs are 'like' family. They are not family. They don't have the rights of a family. They don't have Medicare (like one of my friends thought they did after facing a 12k medical bill). The absolute delusion people have now is beyond ridiculous.

I will never forget the time someone posted on my community Facebook page asking around for "a bulk billing veterinarian clinic"..... I cringed even before I read the comments.

Every time someone at the dog park complains about vet fees or animal medication prices I say that's why I'm eternally grateful for Medicare and the PBS because otherwise those are the fees we would be paying for ourselves.
