Curse of private equity and the chase for corporate profits

More pets being put down due to rising vet bill.

Vets, managers incentivised to increase profits. Fees, insurance costs have rocketed. People deprived of company and love. Pets deprived of life.

Capitalism devours, state silent.
Vet bills: More pets being put down due to rising costs, BBC told
Owners are increasingly delaying treatment for sick pets to avoid spiralling vet bills, charities warn.

🚨☎️ HAUSLINE ☎️🚨

A West Coast Pils with that classic Centennial citrus and an dash of Ekuanot funk. These two shine on a light, crisp, and refreshing lager beer. The perfect pint for the longer warmer days.

This is the 2nd collab that we've done to mark our 5th anniversary.
