Yeah your statement makes me lose mine. You ever held a dying, starving baby in your arms in a refugee camp? How about we forget helping animals altogether, and take what we as a nation normally spend on pet food every year and organize a peaceful army of nutritional support for areas of the world where people live on garbage dumps? I mean I can have an abortion for a fifty dollar co-pay, so I suppose a cat is so valuable a deity that babies must die to appease the god animals. You people are psychotic.
If we took all of the money we spent on pet food in the US thats $23.05 billion. Literally almost the exact same amount as was spent by the United States in humanitarian aid ($23 billion).There are still refuge camps..Still dying babies. Still terrible things in the world.. Instead of saying, "lets just throw food at the problem" how about we target the problems that lead to these humanitarian crisis in the first place.It's not lack of food, it is a lack of development caused by greed and corruption. Most of the food/money sent to these third-world countries doesn't reach the intended recipients, but instead ends up in the pockets of the corrupt religious/political leaders of their country. Look how much money was wasted in Haiti! $13 billion dollars was given after the Haitian earthquake, their normal GDP is just $8.459 billion and people are still living in make-shift huts constructed out of tarps and sticks. It'd be nice to live in a world free of hunger but that's not gonna happen
That first guest comment had the exact opposite effect of what was intended because it just made me realize how much more I like animals more than people. I'm pretty sure that's the same person who went on some abortion rant on some other animal related post. Maybe people should spend less time acting self-important and do something about the causes they're whining about instead of you know...whining. That being said, so glad this kitty found a loving home.
Btw, I checked and was totally right. Same psycho whining on a site dedicated to fun and humor instead of doing anything about the unrelated issues they bring up! Sorry just wanted to share.
