I think it's called double standards aka hypocrisy. Well said. I'm glad the woman had an answer ready---tho' it would have been even better if she'd added your comment about the car. Kerry

My partner and I were upset about an article we read about a woman who spent $25,000 on a kidney transplant for her cat and was interviewed about it, and then she got all sorts of hate mail about doing that when there are humans who can not afford it. She said she does not drink, gamble, go on vacation, or buy anything expensive, so why can't she spend her hard earned money to save her cat's life? My partner and I were so upset-- why don't people send hate mail to people who spend $25,000 on a car-- why is that somehow ok and spending it save a life is not?

You are two different families, in two entirely separate situations. You love and care for Jelly Roll, and will do whatever you can to help him. The family love their little girl and will do whatever it takes to help her. We would all go crazy if we started thinking otherwise. Lots of love and hugs to Jelly Roll, and hope the treatment goes well.
