I agree - that and the fact that many pet owners want to believe that they treat their pets better than other people treat their pets. There is a price for anything people are willing to pay for.
No but my dog would. He eats dirt, cat turds, bugs, sticks, rotting squirrels. Dogs are not people, people today are just spoiled and have twisted views of what we should eat. I'd say the bigger problem is with most people wanting inbred, I mean purebred, dogs that come pre-programmed with health problems.
