I certainly don't think that too much attention and money are spent on animals! As Barbara points out, humans, nature and animals are one big family and we should all make an effort to to live in harmony.

I don't think caring for animals will have any effect on how many people are starving in the world.

A lot of animals are now extinct, this affect the rest of the nature, and if people continiue to ruin the nature, we'll all pay for it in the end. In fact we already are!

Do you ever think of coming generations?
