Homeless children and homeless pets?
Often times when a commercial will come on for the homeless dogs and cats that get put to sleep I feel very saddened by it and sometimes I even have to change the channel.
However when a commercial comes on about homeless children in Africa or whatever I often feel very little compassion for them.
The logic behind my reasoning is that I figure humans should have the brain power to understand their actions of having sex and the possibility of having a child. Animals however are hardwired to reproduce and should not be held to this standard.
Is this normal that I feel more compassion for homeless dogs and cats than I do for humans?
