What a shocker . . . (sarcasm).
It's sad people have to watch their pets get sick and/or die to realize how messed up this industry is, and how useless the "watchers" are. If there's a bright side to the tragedy, it's that more and more people are becoming aware and learning on their own. And hopefully they are making better choices. In the case of the woman in the article, she's fighting back.
