there are millions of homeless animals, shelters are at capacity, and animals are euthanized by the thousands. paying money for something you can get for free is idiotic and unethical
i also feel this way about human adoption, but that’s another argument

I don’t know if you understand the adoption process…but even after hospital bills (assuming insurance), making a baby is a lot less expensive than adopting.
Hitting max-OOP on most HDHPs (Glossary for non-Americans – Maximum-Out-of-Pocket; High-Deductible Health Plan) itself is less expensive than “cheap” adoptions. (And for most healthy couples of child-bearing age, HDHP’s are already the more economical choice for health insurance, especially if you are contributing to HSA (Health Savings Account)…can only get that with an HDHP, and fuck FSAs)
And I haven’t heard of any (human) orphanages that euthanize kids they can’t find a home for, at least not this century. It wouldn’t surprise me, in this timeline, though.

We have one, and it’s cost us thousands in vet bills.
We have another from breeder, and it’s healthy and no issues.
So I’m not too keen on rescuing.
