Money is the root of all which is evil! We see it time and time again don't we? It is a sad fact the almighty dollar is the most important thing in this world. Money has more value than life in most circumstances. ...

This is why I firmly believe there will be a civil war, once more people open their eye's and truly see what's going on. Our government is either aware or not aware that the population does out number those who trample the rights of their people and pass laws to benefit theirs.

Ahh had it been over here they could've gone to the Blue Cross or PDSA (not the RSPCA they are politically motivated trash), that is where all the unemployable take their out of control dogs when they get injured, but also pensioners and disabled and other people who have fallen on hard times. It's a great service offering free vet care and they won't ever turn away an animal. However, though the pensioners and other good people will give donations and often the full cost, the unemployable yobs both young and adults won't ever donate a penny, even when they get shown that their dog has just had 1k worth of treatment, they'll just turn up their new IPhone and walk off. They will even complain if they have to wait in line!
This is what I mean about how America and Britain differ, in many respects Americans are worse off as Britain offers pretty much everything for free, which is why so many can't be bothered to get a job and why so many of us working tax payers are poor. However, this has created a spoilt, lazy, disrespectful and in some ways out of control generation of swine that I think cannot be even compared to the lowest American trash, these are far below that! Still, it is a shame when profit comes before any life and these organisations that offer such free services are undervalued and overlooked, especially when so many are volunteers.

Even though I commend your action, I would probably have done the same, because of my love for dogs, I can't agree with this attitude as a norm.
How can somebody have a 12 year old daughter, and not have a couple of hundred bucks to pay the vet's bills for her pet? What if his daughter needed an operation, or braces, or dental care?
What has this individual been doing with his life? This is, in my opinion, the reason our society has crumbled. No planing for the future, no personal responsibility for one's actions, a total hedonistic stance, the "certainty" that when things go wrong, somebody else, or the State will ultimately be compelled to clean up the mess that is their lives. What a total looser...oh, of course he had no money for the dog, but had a car, and apparently fuel to run it.
I would have done what you did, because of the dog, but I would then hate myself for having done it. It is because people have no responsibility, we have 30, and 40 year old irresponsible children running around, like headless chickens, in adults bodies and clothes...they have no notion of what it takes to become a being. Big daddy will always be around the corner...
More and more people seem to have forgotten that before their self-proclaimed rights, come their duties to those that depend on them, and to their own lost self-esteem.
And don't even get me started on unemployment, and hard times...this is why I currently love, and respect animals far above most "humans" I encounter...
