Devils advocate: retiring an old service dog means you'd need to invest in training another pup which is way more expensive than titanium teeth and dealing even with animal cruelty complaints and/or lawsuits. Also "bleed blue" fanboys will see this as badass, so its free PR.
As a mortal/moral person advocate: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.
Devil's advocate counter: You think the pigs give one hoot about the cost? Of course they don't.
Money saved on k9's is money for some super ugly Oakley's dude
/s
I've had two pair of Oakley's in my life so far. They were both free.
I hope you stole them from a cop.
I don't know who gave them to me. I just found both pairs in places that it made no sense for them to be.
One was just sitting in the middle of Natural Bridge, in Natural Bridge State Park, Kentucky. The second pair just showed up on the hood of my still running car while I was on delivery. The universe does strange things like that.
Yeah, it saves money. Still insane, but not due to the cost.
How about we save the money by not giving the police literal attack dogs to maul people with... Maybe just start ripping budget away from the police that insist on buying up surplus military equipment, ensuring that the only tool they have to solve any problem is a gun. Nah - the people that relentlessly bleat about freedom just loooove that shiny new boot leather taste.
