Except they're not.
And it makes me really sad to see so many people - including Christians - who are willing to ignore human suffering but will go all out to protect animals.
Now, I'm not advocating that we torture animals, or neglect them, or anything like that. Animals feel pain. Proverbs 12:10 talks about how a righteous man cares for his oxen.
But animals are not human, and they do not have eternal spirits. People do. And in many places, humans are treated far, far worse than animals.
I found it horrifying that the "Click to give" site used to have the "I like this" section to click. Not that they had it, but that so many more "liked" the animal shelters and the rainforest than liked giving children vitamins or the hungry food.
Do something. Make a small difference somehow. But more than that, begin in prayer and repentance that we have not loved our neighbour as ourselves.
