Donating too save animal other then humans?

Question

Why do people donate too save animals when you could be donating too save human lives? Yes. Animals are important, but humans are more important.

So why would you ever donate too save animals?

If you could be donating too save people?

And if you donate too both,why wouldn't you just donate double too save humans?

Answer 1

Are humans are more important than animals? Some people prefer pets over other people. I just think it someone's own personal business to decide what is most important to them, even if it doesn't make sense to you or me.

Answer 2

Humans are not endangered or likely to become extinct anytime soon.  Besides I like animals better than humans. I do donate to both...but have dedicated my life to saving animals.

Answer 3

well in my opinion;god put both here

and humans slowly begin to ruin the earth

day by day, with waste, pollution,etc.

and animals had nothing to do but watch their homes be

destroyed for subdividions and low income housing to be built.

then again there are the humans that suffer from disease and illness,

and also have nothing to do but watch their families being destroyed.

but i dont see why the world cant pull together and help all.

animals dont deserve to be without their healthy habitat...

and humans dont desrve to starve and die of disease.

instead of arguing on which is more important...

both animals and humans are dying out, because people cant think of much more than spending their money on fancy things to fit into society when there are much more important things.

so, donate to both.

and belive me, if i could i would try and stop some of the stuff

going on around here...but i m only 15.and i can only get so far.

Answer 4

If people are being generous and selfless enough to donate to any cause, why should they be criticized about what it is that they are contributing to? It just goes to show how narrow minded you are.  

Answer 5

Most of the causes animals need to be protected from are man-made, so it seems right (to me) to try and correct the problems. I donate to human causes also. Donations are an individual choice.

Answer 6

Forgotten friends is a small non-profit all-volunteer organization dedicated to the protection and placement of homeless, abandoned, abused and neglected dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and other animals. We provide a safe, secure, and healthy environment for a small number of animals waiting for a loving, caring adoptive home. We receive no payment for our efforts, only the personal satisfaction and sense of accomplishment we feel when placing a rescued animal into a loving home forever. Please save a pet with donations or contributions. We will use donated money to open a pet rescue in the Windham area, to try to improve the lives of local animals, and to make a real difference. We also accept aluminum cans and pet supplies. For more information or to schedule a pick up of donations, or to schedule volunteer time, please call us. For the betterment of the lives of stray, abandoned, and special needs cats and dogs, our goal is to;

*Open an animal shelter in the Windham area

*Find loving homes for animals in need

*Provide shelter, food, and medical necessities

*Give loving care and companionship for as long as needed.

For donations and contributions;

Answer 7

Ohh i so love all these answers!! I donate my monies to the humane society.

Answer 8

Humans have a choice.

Animals are innocent.

Humans are not always innocent

Humans will stab you in the back.

Humans have knowledge to take care of themselves.

Answer 9

This is your views, everybody does not share them. Some people think the natural world is hierarchical, with man being at the top. Others believe that people have a responsibility to animals, almost a care taking role. Others make a distinction between saving the animal or saving their habitat. Others still value all life forms equally.

Donations are just that. People choosing how to spend their money.

You are entitled to your choices, preferences and values. Please respect others' right to do the same.

Answer 10

Good question, but I think that it's because animals cannot fend for themselves; they are vulnerable, whereas humans (pretty much) have a choice. Most animals depend on people for survival. Many animals are where they are because of people that don't want them or can't afford to care for them. The other thought that I have is about saving endangered species.  People give to both humans and animals; I think that animal groups send out alot of information asking for money whereas hmans don't.  Just a thought.

Answer 11

I donate to both. I dont think animals should be neglected just because their are humans suffering aswell. Also more people donate to humans and animals need help too.

Answer 12

Some animals can get a lot of the same diseases as humans...especially cancer. Like people, animals can also suffer from malnutrition and live on the streets. What makes people more worthy of getting help? Yes, we are the only species on earth to invent technology...so what!? That doesn't mean we are any more important than other animals living in the wild and in captivity.

Another thing...humans aren't endangered! I don't see anything wrong with donating to save a species of animal because once it's gone, we'll never get it back.

Humans and animals deserve the same rights...no more, no less.
