Speculation, and baseless at that.
Things change, bud. I have a stable job now, have had it for over five years, but I might not in a month or a year. Dogs live for longer than that.
I think a pretty good rule of thumb is that if you find yourself speculating about someone else's life or the future, there's probably a lot you don't know, so dial down the judgement.
I'm just operating on the information I was given. In a vacuum, all other things being equal, animals are a net cost, one she clearly cannot afford. I'm not speculating any more than that.
One she clearly cannot afford now, but that doesn't mean she couldn't afford them when she got them.
It is this exact speculation I'm telling you is the problem. You don't know so you default to saying she's irresponsible, despite having no evidence other than she fell on hard times while dogs were under her care. You don't even know what you're blaming her for, just the result, which is fucked up yo.
You're just operating on your assumptions and confirmation bias.
Do better.
Show me better data and I'd be glad to.
Show us why you believe they got the dogs after they were homeless.
that is not and has never been my supposition
