16. I think it's good that dogs can get dental implants. They need their teeth, too.

No point in trashing dogs' dental care just to make a point about humans going without. Nobody's going to do dental work for free, whether the patient is a dog or a human. If dog owners want to pay the $$$$ for dental implants then great! If humans can't pay the dentist, then yes they'll go without.

We humans need a single payer health care system like the rest of the world.
