I totally agree with you all. People like that are so ignorant. It's none of their business, and even so, they should practice what they preach and give to human causes then, ya know?? Why do people gamble? That's basically throwing money away. Instead of gambling, I give to animal organizations...at least it's a worthy cause. The only reason that animals need help is because of ingnorant and cruel humans!!! Why do I need to donate to the wolf preservation organizations?? Because humans have basically wiped them out because of fear and ignorance. It's basically the same thing with any other animal charity. The reason any condition exists, is because of humans. Why are there feral cats and dogs? Because people are not responsible and they don't spay and neuter their pets, and then they dump them...making the situation worse. Su's right, animals cannot help themselves or the situation they are in. TheAntiPam, what an annoying person that you had conversation with! Yikes!! That definitely would have struck MY nerve!!!
