>I want my pet taken care of

Strict regulations don't guarantee this. Additionally, they can be counterproductive by blocking competition, resulting in only a few compliant vets in your area who might still harm your pet.

>I don't want to sue... courts are not efficient If a monopolistic vet knows they won't lose their license or face charges/fines because a court can't take do so, why would they be incentivized to be extra careful with your pet?
