Thousand if not millions of pounds are spent, repairing this. But the initial response is to put it down. You do less to dogs.

Olden days, most people have serveral children. Many died. Why spend money on a child borne that is unable to live, and will pool resources that are vaaialble elsewhere, to help someone capable of life?

A dog has a limp, has an unheathy heart? People put it down. Why operate on this?

That, this that you refer to is a human being,
