: I was in the IGA in Kittanning today and the man in front of me paid for his food with an access card. After that he put up 2 boxes of dog treats and a dog flea collar, which he paid for with cash. So my question is, if this man needs the taxpayers help to buy his own food but can afford to buy treats for his dog(s), should he be getting a handout at all.
: Here’s a little more info. His bill for his food came to $22 and some change. The dog treats and collar came to $9 and some change. So he spent almost half on his dog(s) as what he spent on his own food. He pulled out a rather large wad of money to pay for the dog treats. He looked very healthy to hold a job and to top it all off, he put his food and dog treats into a back pack and got on his bicycle and off he went.
: I like dogs, but if this person needs my help to eat, I don’t think he should own dogs. Of course, he could have been buying the treats for someone else, but somehow I doubt it.
