spell check is your friend...Years ago when I had the farm, a “new” med, came out that was successful against a certain type of cancer. The pill for human consumption would be 50 dollars a pill. It was the same medication I used to worm my goats. Busted out laughing. I could get 2 dozen for 5.00 from a vet catalog. If I ever need that particular medication, I would know where to buy it I would get 100 ml bottle of penicillin for my animals for 6.00. How much do you pay for a shot at the doctor..bite me

Thanks granny. I was so taken by your belief in from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs that I posted without using the checker.

That story may get you some ears and sympathy from folks who don't have a clue about much of anything, and have probably grown weary of listening to your bellyaching, but for those of us with a clue it's just a story. Thanks for sharing.

Now go have a glass of warm milk and take a nap, resting comfortably under the security blanket dear leader has provided.

Farm animals don't sue. Humans do. The consequence is extremely expensive testing programs to ensure a given drug is safe. Even so, there are bad apples in the testing process that allow unsafe drugs to market. Your veterinary drug vs drugs "tested" as safe for humans is a poor analogy. Apples and oranges. It's the testing and regulation that jacks up the costs. Absent R&D, you wouldn't have squat for the goats either.
