Billions On Sick Animals? “Clearly, our love affair with our pets has gotten out of control,” says author Buckhard Bilger in “The Last Meow”. Today, more and more money is being spent on pets rather than on welfare. Bilger argues that Americans spend way too much money on their pets. He is right; spending billions on animals when our society is yet to be perfect, or even near it, is absurd.
