What the hell? All you hear about is feed the children ffeeeedd the children. Nobody's igoring them over cats. If anything, animals are being ignored.

That sickens me. I hate hearing stories about how animals aren't taken care of. I'm sure her intentions started out good, taking in all those cats that were probably homeless, but she should have gotten in touch with the ASPCA. They would've come and gotten the cats.

I'm guessing you really don't like cats. But that does NOT mean they don't care about starving children.

I didn't actually read the article since it didn't work for me, but I know about it's about and that's horrible! NO cat deserves to be neglected like that!

I'm just sayin we need to take of ourselves first. Cats are not people, cats are not going to change the world, cats aren't going to find a cure for cancer, etc. All animals (including ourselves) were created with the ability to take of themselves as a kind.

Don't get me wrong I love my dog but I just am realistic enough to realize that we need to worry about ourselves first.

Oh yeah let's ignore the animals, let them be abused and what not, who cares? That's the problem with this world people don't want to get involved. Abuse is still abuse whether it's animals or people.

No one said that they didn't care about people, it is possible to care about both.

Watch an episode of Animal Planet's animal cops sometime and tell me if you still feel the same way when you see how some animals are treated by people. Breaks my heart, I can't watch the show without bawling.

There are also tons of programs out there to help children and people, you don't see that many for animals, which is sad IMO.

I'm not saying it's right to abuse animals im sayin that we need to take of ourselves before we even worry about that ****. yeah, animal abusers are low-life scum but damn I'm not gonna obsess about it like the other percent of the population. I own a husky and she hates being inside in the winter so we leave her out. Well, some biotch had the nerve to call the ****in cops on us because the dog was layin out in the snow. So the cop came and rolled his eyes and apologized to US.

I also hate how the only thing people give a damn about is cats and dogs and ****. Honestly, When was the last time y'all ate meat? Theres thousands of other animals in this world that get slaughtered everyday FOR OUR OWN WELL BEING, but lets stop the world for 63 cats. It's all an overexaggeration on our part.

That's different. We don't eat cats.

1) Sure. Cats are not people, they cannot change the world, will not concoct a cure for cancer, nor will dogs; but over the past 2-3,000 years, we have domesticated these animals from the wild and they have become a HUGE part of people's lives and society today. These animals are part of our families. We have a right to be concerned.

2) Just because people are worried and concerned over animals doesn't mean that we aren't worrying about ourselves! If we only worried about ourselves all of the time, then damn, we'd be some pretty cormorant people. I'm not saying you have to have the most perfervid attitude towards animals, but really. Try to see my point of view here.

3) Don't chastise people who are concerned about other issues than you. Half of the people at school care about extremely different current issues than I. Do I give a flying **** about these issues? No! But I'm not going to go around saying "well Jesus Christ guys, what about the children!". There are people who care about homeless and less fortunate people in this world, believe it or not. Just because we care about animals as well, does not mean we don't care about the children.
