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?

    People are animals, and are also hardwired to reproduce. The only difference is humans have the ability to think logically, but most don't, so we are still just animals.
    Regardless, it is not a Child's fault it was brought into the world and now has to starve and be diseased and homeless. The parents of these kids need to be shot so there are fewer idiot people and more resources for these poor kids.

    To the maker of this....just for the record humans are just intelligent animals...humans are hardwired to reproduce just like a dog but we are somehow more important because we wear clothes and live in homes? No amimal is better than the next, some just have higher intelligence and survival skills.

    ok now i understand what you mean about having people who live in such terrible conditions and yet still have sex knowing they will have ti introduce a child to this cruel environment. but you forget alot of women are raped and end up with children this way. and also they are human they will fall in lust or love like the rest of us. but no matter what it is NOT the childrens fault and you should never forget that

    Maybe you just see homeless animals in real life and don't see homeless children in doorways, so you can't really believe deep down that it's real. If you're talking about children homeless and starving in for example, Africa, then I blame the church for not allowing the women contraception, so the children are born to suffer starvation etc.

    Well, I feel the same way as you and my psychiatrist tells me I have "sociopathic tendancies". Make of that what you will.......

  • Glad you are capable of some compassion but your reasoning about people is pretty flawed, judgemental and racist.

    It's not the kids' fault that they were dealt a rather shitty life, geeze. Those animals are helpless, yes, but so are those children. Have a heart, dude.

    Not normal. Its not the kids fault they were born. I love animals but people should come first definately. The parents may be stupid but the kids didnt ask to be born!!!!! Become a vet.

    Yeah i'm the same way. I usually don't have emotions for things, but when i see the homeless dogs commercial I have to turn the channel its so sad. but the homeless kid commercials i can watch all the way through. I tell myself that i should feel bad but really in my heart I don't feel sad at all.

  • Yes!!!!! Finally someone understands!! If u can't afford food urself why have like 10 kids and make them starve too??? Do they not have logic?? Thanks. I know how u feel. When the animal thing comes on I start crying. When humans come on I just can't get the thought of how they seriously need to control the population. Less ppl means less money and food required.

    I feel bad about the neglected kids out there whose parents care more for their pets and animals than their children. Makes me wonder how many people like you are CAUSING the fucking problem by ignoring the kids and feeling sorry for the animals.

    I should know, I came from such a family.
    People like you disgust me.
