I care more about animals than children?

Ever since I was little I've always loved animals, and sometimes (when I was younger) I had the thought that I liked them more than I like humans. I have many friends who I am close to now, but when I was younger (like 8-9) I was very shy and preferred to be alone, or with my cats.

Anyway I realised recently that when I watch an advert on TV about donating money to a particular charity to help children in third world countries, I see the pictures of these kids, and I don't really think about it. However, if an advert about adopting a dog that has been treated badly comes on (like a pet sanctuary ad) I often find myself in tears seeing the sad looks in their eyes and hearing their stories.

Is it odd that I care more about animals than children?

    I've always cared more for animals by far, than children or majority of the human race for that matter.
    People can take care of themselves, I do sympathize for children who are abused or sexually molested, because they can't fight back, just like animals who are abused/neglected. I always fight for rights of those who cannot take care of themselves when it comes to someone bullying them, people will bully an animal. an animal will not bully a person/child, the only time an animal will act aggressive is when provoked, frightened/hungry like lions and bears. Aligators will eat your ass, so stay away from them, but animals like dogs, cats, squirrels, rabbits, whatever, are usually the target because their small and usually docile.

    The human race, for the most part is wicked, which is why myself, and people similar to me feel the same.

      If I answered honestly is it normal to empathize with a person or animal that can't defend themselves then my answer would be ofcourse it's normal but is it normal to deny your own humanity and put an animals needs over yourself or human kind...no I don't think so. We should care for our animals but If there was a child and a puppy drowning in a pool of water and you chose the puppy then I would have to say that there is something wrong with that. The fact is the human race is not without sin which is why we do things bad and good towards eachother but that doesn't mean that we are without redemption...humans can evolve...change...impact the world in ways that animals can't. Without man we would be nothing...you wouldn't have the means to care for yourself or your animals without the human race. Animals are great to have to love but they can't and will not stand in honor for you once you've passed...they may miss you for a little while but you will be replaced by a new really nice owner like yourselves. Your legacy...beliefs...traditions can't be left to them but to your children they can.

        I don't think that's normal its okay if you care for animals but you should prioritize your children remember its animals are totally different from human.Consult a vett on how to take good care of you pets in a right way.

    I'm the same way. Put that to good use. I'm sure there are some local shelters that could use you as a volunteer!

      Your fuckn dumb. The reason why we are mammels is because we have lungs and nurse our youngs with milk from a female breast.

        All mammals: are warm-blooded, have hair on their bodies, have a vertebra, and produce milk.
        Really you think having lungs makes an animal a mammal? You don’t think frogs or snakes have lungs? How do they breathe? BTW: a frog it is an amphibians, and a snake is a reptile. Try getting an education.
        Not to be mean, but you are a perfect example of why some people should not have kids.

    We're like brain twins.
    It's perfectly normal. Animals have better qualities than most human beings do (i.e. loyalty, innocence, etc.).
    What happens when you see a child, is that you immediately project the image of a future adult in your head - and let's face it, most adults suck. Animals, however, who will always remain innocent and loving do not suck.
    So go ahead, there's no need to feel ashamed for being honest with yourself. I too care a lot more about animals than children. :)

    I don't think it's odd to care more about animals than children. Children are nice and all but they grow up into assholes just like everyone else. So, yeah, who cares. Animals over kids anyday.

    I love children, especially girls. In general though, not caring about humanitarian efforts like that is very normal, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Not really, and for people saying that children aren't innocent, animals aren't entirely innocent either. There have been many reports throughout history of dogs attacking children. So really nothing is innocent. I love both animals and children but I'd have to save a child over an animal.

    Yup i totally care more about animals than kids. I see the ads on TV as well and i always feel more the animals and get sad. Also when i watch a movie and an animal dies, I cry so much.. when a kid dies i dont. I've always loved animals so much since i was very young and i will do so forever. NOTHING wrong with it.

    It's because we've been desensitized to seeing children suffer on TV. But we rarely see animals on TV suffering so when it happens we feel the shock more.

      Know all those child murderers? Yeah. They aren't innocent in the slightest, slabbering little shits like you should be arrested.

      Children are far from innocent. They are totally capable of experiencing hate and anger and can carry out evil acts. What about the kids who shoot or beat up other kids? Children can wish hurt on others.Kids also know right from wrong and do sometimes chose to do wrong. Children can be very malicious actually. Animals do not do that and are truly innocent. Why would one need to have a child to think they are innocent? Wouldn't that then make them bias?

        Dogs tend to kill more people than children do, not sure if that is considered "innocent".

    I always felt it was more sad when an animal died than a human and then felt bad about feeling that way, but I think its because I love animals so much and i see them as innocents, also we are desensitized by the news and murders on tv etc. but I also think it has to do with not having children of my own yet and not experiencing that connection to life. Also people do bad things and are capable of so much horror but animals are not malicious in nature like humans so i see it as more of a loss when they are affected negatively.

    I'm sorry but I can't choose a dog over a child, but that's just me. I guess how you feel is normal. Just don't ever ever ever have kids. That goes for the rest of y'all too.
