In the first world wealth my country lives in
those who own cats and dogs spend more
on the care of their animal companions
then people in subsistence economies
across the world have to spend on each other,
or the animals they breed to live off,
e.g. cows for enjoying the milk of.
Animal companionship is a fine thing,
but to see the degree to which it monetised,
in a society in which how money is spent
matters more than how we care for each other
makes me think that my society seriously lacks proportion.
