Why do people spend so much money on their animal? In Burkhard Bilgers “The Last Meow” people are spend thousands of dollars on their cat. Many people spend money like that on their animals. People spend that money on special food, toys, and most expensively veterinary care.

Lastly, animals have just as much the right to live as humans do. Dogs have been on earth just as long as humans if not long! They deserve to be able to live happily also. We should be spending just as much on animals to keep them alive as we do on humans.

So why should people spend just as much money on animals? Well because they love their animals, it is their money that they are spending on the animals, and animals have
