I guess in a similar way to the GDFTB thread...
remember, next time you stick 10p in a tin with a cute puppy on the front you are effectively subsidising 'pets for the poor'
If you are a dole scrounger then you are quite entitled to have state of the are, free treatment from any PDSA clinic and by god do 'they' take advantage of this.
Whilst looking on a dog forum I came across a poster who was complaining that the charity would only pay £400 of the £800 vet bill for their dogs broken leg. As the vet knew they would never see the other £400 they decided to amputate instead of fixing the animal. Naturally the women was incensed by this and was complaining to all and sundy how vets are scumbags and are only in it for the money.

If the vet amputated because he didn't think he'd get paid, then it does sound a little like money was a contributory factor.
That is reality - if they gave £400 of free treatment to every scrounger that brought their pet to them they'd be out of business in a week and a lot of animals would suffer even more....G'kar said:

If you went to the dentist with toothache you could have it ripped out for £400 or you could pay £800 for the fancy treatment to fix it without pulling the tooth out.Both perfectly acceptable treatments and I know I would go for the £400 option, especially if I was getting it paid for by a charity.
So rather than be grateful her dog was kept alive she was moaning because the vet didn't, effectively, give her £400? Poor dog, but I hope she's getting a load of stick on the forum for being irresponsible/selfish and it's as a direct result of her actions (or inaction) that her dog lost its leg.
The vet's in a lose-lose situation.

k themselves. When we had a cat that was seriously Ill we went to their surgery as itv was the only one open out of hours, they sent us away despite us offering to pay as we had jobs. TossersG'kar said:
