Which is worse: starving children or abused animals?

I totally agree

You've got a point!

I thought you're more likely to suffer from your conscience if you hurt either of them?

So you're more about animals right?

Why did you choose this option over the other?

@Alex1610: species loyalty. same reasons if there was a car coming down the road and I could only get a puppy or a baby out of the street. the kids have more of a capacity to continue on and improve the world so starving kids and abused animals don't happen anymore than the abused animal will.

@malcontent: Good example

[c=#BF0080]I agree.. I'm kinda surprised by the answers.[/c]

🙄 With answers like that how are we ever supposed to progress as a society... If we can stop the hurting of people I'm pretty sure animal abuse would follow suit... But choosing that other answer as the path would never result in anything positive... Just a continued cycle...

Plus when you know how animals view humans it's hard to completely feel sorry for them... I admire seagulls and crows til I remember how often they'll peck out babies eyes if given the opportunity..

Animals also don't have as advanced as a nervous system as ours.. which is why they can survive such cruelty and accomplish amazing feats despite what ould leave a human too forlorn to hope to survive with.. A starving child would feel 10x as much pain as the animal would..

Neither can I

Why?

Why is it worse than the other one?

Yep

So can't I. They're both equally bad to me

I know

I couldn't agree more

It was never a helpful question

Ok, but shhhhh...you might piss someone off lol

I think so too

What makes starving children worse than abused animals imo?

@Alex1610: I think for me it comes down to species loyalty.

@Alex1610: [c=#BF0080]Because they're humans who are well aware of what's going on.. and I have kids and it breaks my heart literally to see any child going hungry.[/c]

Why is that worse than the other one?

@Alex1610: Abusing others becomes a fetish when those doing it are comfortable. Starving children do not have that choice

@MikefromEP: Fetish???

Such cruel parents....

@MalteseFalconPunch: So you think the starving children are worse because they could be beneficial for the society?

What?

How come?

More good can come from nourishing children than saving the animals

Why?

So you're saying they're equally in pain?

depends on how long the kids were starving for. kids and animals are the same thing to me. life is life.

What makes it worse than the other one?

How come?

@Alex1610: As humans, we value human life above animal life. We can love an animal, but not like a child. I hate the thought of any animal being abused or hungry. The law doesn't place the same value on human and animal life. I Can kill a deer, or a cow, or a fish legally. Human life however, is held sacred.

Me too
