    Morbid as they are, pet incinerators are a reasonable purchase for businesses that need to safely dispose of a deceased animal, such as a veterinary clinic.

    But the optics are dicey for an ad on social media, and even more so when it’s targeting users outside the veterinary industry and features adorable AI-generated images of pets.

    I don’t see why it ever would be a good idea to advertise this on social media. Must be a way to target only clinics.

    And the pics are fucking horrible.
