I have 2 veterinarians in the family and both sold their practices to private investors. These private companies are buying up pet services as it’s one of the last places people pay medical bills without insurance. Pet insurance is also skyrocketing in popularity.
Hedge funds took our pets and created a lucrative industry exploiting our human need to care for others. Monetizing love is the most evil thing I can imagine and it is now a multi-billion dollar market.

They’re pushing prices up because of course people are gonna pay for the sake of a beloved pet. The cost?
Dead pets for the people who can’t afford it.
Last night I watched people of all backgrounds fork out $1600 between 3 people.
At a shelter, I watched a grown man breakdown of a $20 bill for a pit the size of a house.
We are so fucked as humans.
