Once again folks: not really the point. The thing that makes them sociopaths is not the obscene price gouging. It is the leveraging of the animals suffering to extract whatever price the feel (know) they can get. I just drove a half hour to get her there just to put her down humanly.Then why did you go to that vet?
Just FYI - I just dropped $800 one of my ducks last week, and I've spent over $1k on one of my chickens. Very reputable vets. Vets are just expensive, even if they aren't sociopathic.
I’m blubbering like a baby, Laverne is liteelally
Ripped in two pieces. There is no way she should still be alive, but here she is with her organs there on the outside of her body, heart beating, lungs frantically trying to breath, I’m begging them to please just put her out of her agony… but no… first there’s a bunch of paperwork… That done now they need payment before they can start. My card is declined because I only have half of the seven hundred. “Can you pleas just take care of her: get her out of pain? I’ll get the rest as soon as I can get ahold of family for the money… No, we need the entire amount before we “can” (will) do anything.
Meanwhile Laverne continues to convulse in agony. I’m praying please little girll, Just die. She just lays there thrashing and convulsing and not dying. I am quietly no, just begging them to please help her. And they are patiently waiting for me to find someone to borrow the rest from.
Finally I swipe my Venmo card, with the $700 my sister just sent.
And “kaching,” now we can put this sweet little girl out of her pain.”
And that is why these are accurately labeled here: sociopaths, and evil.
And to answer your question I went to that vet after frantically calling every vet I could find at that time of day. They were the first, and only one open and willing to euthanize a chicken.
The next of my chicken needing to be euthanized I will simply use my axe. Not to save $700 but to save her the prolonged agony of waiting for a veterinarian to be paid before the bird receives some mercy.
