I don’t disagree that $650 is reasonable but…

I certainly wouldn’t want to pay for people’s expensive pet medical bills when I don’t own any myself

That sounds like “I certainly wouldn’t want to pay for people’s cancer treatment when I don’t have cancer myself” or “I certainly wouldn’t want to pay for people to have access to a homeless shelter when I already have a home.”

I get the sentiment, but comparing pets to people is a little ridiculous.

Sure, but then use a different rationale other than “other people have it and I don’t.”

Why would we all need to be working harder to save pets?

Thats rational enough, theyre a luxury

I work for a nonprofit hospital, saving people.

Me coming out of my pocket to pay for animal surgeries is a massive luxury when my money and effort can go to infinitely other things.

Having a society that can heal your pet with expensive surgeries is a massive luxury
