Why do people find it so difficult to donate to animal conservation program(s)?

Question

Why do people find it less difficult to donate for a human cause? an election campaign?

Answer 1

because they dont care about animals

Answer 2

I have no idea. I am an animal lover myself. I think it's because some people simply don't care about animals in the same way as you and I do. I find it quite sad. I always donate to animal charities when I can. People have no idea how much animals can benifit from the small donations that people give. If everyone gave some loose change to an animal charity - the animals would benifit so much from it!

Answer 3

Because some people value human life more than animal life.

And since most people will donate to some worthy cause, most fill that programs that are helping people are more important.

Answer 4

Why do people find it so difficult to donate to animal conservation program(s)? -- My answer (my opinion) I would rather donate to the thousands that are unvoluntarily homeless in America before I try to save cats and dogs. (though animals are the love of my life).

Why do people find it less difficult to donate for a human cause? -- For me, this is not difficult. I'd donate if I had a high enough education, and if I brought 6 figures a year. Instead, I work in a gas station and struggle to make my utilities.

an election campaign? -- Again, refer to the answer above.

Good luck with your inquest!

Answer 5

maybe because humans can make a difference in the world.

lol u gave away answer alrdy a billion pus stars and planets, and u dont think one of them wont have delicious animals to eat? earth supplies will run out thats a given, y do u think we do space travel, looking towards future when earth is all used up. if we survive that long without killing r selfs

Answer 6

Because in the western tradition we view humans above animals.  The Christian tradition maintains that it is only humans that have souls, and therefore animals are here for us to use.  All factored in, human suffering takes precedence.

Answer 7

Because some people like to help with that campaign and some like helping animals.

People don't always agree with some organizations and refuse to help but feel strongly for the other.

This is kinda a dumb question.

Answer 8

Maybe because their priorities are in somewhat the correct order?

Answer 9

It's all a matter of priorities, and animal conservation as a cause for donation or charity never ranks as high as anti-abortion / pro-life (human life), feeding the poor, Christian churches that we attend, or political candidates or programs that have such a HUGE impact on our community, country and world.  They can impact animal conservation, but not vice-versa.  God Bless you.
