helping animals to me feels like such a strange topic because of the extent to which animal activists will go to save a dog or a cow etc and yet completely ignore or dismiss the people in the world who are in far more need of that help...

then there are the hypocrites who would help a cow with a burger in hand
if that example is too direct, then buying products from a company which supports or owns subsidiaries which in turn treat animals badly

animals do need help
people need it more

it's a simple question of priority
