Bloody mindless eating machine, if you whinge about £50 for a rear tyre try paying the same every 6 weeks or so for a set of shoes, and the mechanic (Vet) charges some where around £300 per hour labour. Mind you at the end of the day you can always shoot the thing and put it in the deep freeze or turn it into salami.
