Boy, kill a few dogs and the world's heart bleeds. Abort & kill babies and life churns on.
Kinda odd to see where people find their sympathies.
Wow...any opening to push a agenda.
Don't know why this surprises anyone: 3,600+ servicemen die in Iraq and it's "bring them home now". Little mention of the 1,000+ contractors killed there as well. And the 100,000+ killed in Darfur? tsk....too bad... sounds terrible... what else is on tv. Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Kosova. Post-holocausts "Never Again"....riiigghhhtttt.
The value people put on lives, human or animal, is not logical or on a level playing field. Always has been that way.
abortion? Want to end the common practice, then support sex ed, family planning, and supporting safe sex. But, the majority (or at least those leading) in the pro life group only support two items: abstinence or women as baby-factories.
As to the lives of animals? Stewards of the Earth or some such, no? A domesticated animal living among humans is generally totally dependent on said humans through its entire life.
I've met very few dogs I'd wish harm to, but I've met or seen many men whom I wished would come to a swift and sudden end for the good of the species and society.
