Onnismaa is a pipe-smoking loner, mocked by some as a “dog whisperer”, who euthanizes sick animals at considerably cheaper rates than those offered by the professional vets he despises. If the customer cares for their pet, they get a particularly good deal – if not, they’re likely to be forced to sit in a dog cage. Onnismaa believes people should pay for pain they have…
