> The truth of the matter is that most people cannot justify spending thousands of dollars on a pet, no matter how much they are loved, and that DOES NOT make them bad or unfit owners.

I'd argue not having the means to deal with emergency situations would make someone unfit to own a pet.

I get that circumstances can change and costs increase, but I also feel too many people assume a pet doesn't cost much or isn't much of a comitment.

You're right that the costs are crazy, and not taking it into account when deciding to take or keep a pet is irresponsible.
