I understand where you're coming from. As I am a consumer too. But, because of my journey with the Yorkshire Terrier, I see this aspect as not as potential purchase, but a living breathing creature. So, I ask myself, how did I think when I was on my quest to adopt a child (I know to most it's not the same). But, I will tell you that when I thought I couldn't have children and was definately looking to adopt....I didn't care what the cost was, I wanted a healthy child that I could love. At no time did the issue of money enter my mind. So, based on that anology, and I do view these creatures as babies, I just think money (although important), isn't at the top of the list.
