Animal Abortions

[Hondahugger]

So my new assistant asked me if I knew where her mother could take her 14 year old Taco Bell dog to get an abortion. WTF!!!!!!!

My first thought was why isn't the 14 year old dog spayed to begin with and was that even legal to do. After calling an area vet, I found it that it is legal and could be done for about $200.00 +/-. That was Friday, it's now Monday and I'm still in shock!

So the Vet explained to me that not only is the dog at HIGH risk of death if they allow her to deliver the puppies because this dog also has cancer, but she's at HIGH risk trying to have the surgery. From the vets point of view, the dog is dead either way.

So then I found myself PISSED OFF that these pet owners could be so irresponsible as to have never had their dog spayed and allowed this dog to be put into this position and now wants to use abortion as a form of birth control and risk their dog's life that has been a member of the family for 14 years. This dog should be spending her last days as confortable as she can be, not like this.

Has anyone ever even heard of anything like this? I tried to look up Canine Abortions on the web and couldn't find anything.
