I don’t understand people who can’t show compassion for both. Or why animal threads on FR attract so many pro-life posters who in turn make sweeping generalizations about those who happen to care about animal cruelty.

Sorry, but I find it hard to listen to posters claiming those who show sympathy towards animals aren’t able to care about the murder of innocent children. Just because the hearts of the thread-hijackers aren’t big enough to do both, doesn’t make it true of others.

Who said it wasn’t possible? Our gripe is that the MSM doesn’t do what’s possible.

Your criticism is a straw man argument. You claim we say it’s not possible to be compassionate toward both.

I never said that. I said that in fact a lot of people have more compassion toward animals than toward unborn babies. Indeed, they have zero for the latter.

So this story becomes MSM news and babies tied to railroad tracks are yawned at.

The criticism is NOT directed at you but at the people who turned this into a big story but REFUSE even to lift a brain cell toward the human parallel.

If you wanted to you could agree with our criticism without getting defensive and mad at us.

if you wanted to.

And my comment was sparked by the direct linking of doggies and babies by someone (was it you?) who wrote that someone who lacks compassion for this dog on the railroad tracks must not have any children.

It was the dog-lover who drew the parallel, equating compaasion for children with compassion for dogs.

I’m perfectly fine with compassion for both but I insist that dogs and babies are NOT equal. Period.
