Like MADEM, there are special things I need for one of my dogs, who suffers from chronic staph infection outbreaks on her abdomen.
I have checked the local farm and pet store. It isn't there.
I've checked online and it's in some other places besides Amazon, but only for in-store purchase. One store I just looked at is 25 miles from me, one way.
We are on fixed incomes here, and both of us are disabled in some way. But I'll gladly buy from them if you'll volunteer to pick it up and deliver it to me.
Yes, I realize that it would be a sacrifice on your part, but hey...how far should someone be willing to go to fight the corporations that are fucking us over?
IOW, it's easy to tell someone else to make sacrifices, but the spiel stops when the sacrifices aren't what one wants to make himself.
