It's the fine line of humanity. It's why we've created child protection agencies for our own. I'd never condone a parent not taking their chid to the hospital when medical emergencies arise, why would I condone a pet owner not caring for their pet? Same rule, same responsibility that's all.
I know exactly what you are saying but so many are deciding to put their dogs to sleep or bring them to rescue so these are the ones that are doing everything they can to keep them and that is all I am saying. My dog comes before me eating but when you have a family of children to feed and are in dire need, it's rough.
