We live in a country where people go hungry, they can’t read or write, and they live under a bridge, and people spend $8,000 on fixing a dog.
When pets are viewed as more important than people, our country is truly in a sad, pathetic state.
I love pets and own two cats, but they are just that - pets. They are not people.
I think the greatness of America is that we have time and money for everyone: the sick, the poor, and the helpless - which must include abused animals. Now you’re exactly right about education - but is it simply money that will cure this problem? I don’t think so...
There’s a boatload of people I wouldn’t spend a dime on. There are few dogs I wouldn’t go the extra mile for.
When people are living under a bridge, you know, I’ve met folks that that’s their choice. They can’t read and write? Maybe some of them needed to pay attention in school. They are poor? Lots of folks are poor - some made their own way, some not. That you have to take on a case by case basis.
But you know the dog didn’t throw himself out of the car.
How to you get from people wanting to save a dog's life to people viewing a dog's life as more important than a person?
If you are advocating the we take care of our fellow men, then I would say that the people who are concerned for this dog are far more likely to do so than the prick who threw the dog onto the highway. He's the one who most likely doesn't give a rip about your hobo under the bridge.
Why it's not your money
And I would rather give money to help abused animals then have my money spent on some welfare rabbit like octamon. If people are cant read and write and are living under a bridge.9 times out of ten its because of the choices they made in life.this poor animal did make the choice to tossed out of a moving car
?????????????? What has this to do with saving the life of an animal that was tossed out of a moving vehicle, hit by another car and sustained all kinds of injuries. $8k for “fixing a dog” as you call it? I would pay the whole amount if I could afford it.
No one said pets are more important than people. Where in the article does it say that???? Point it out please because I must have missed it. Also no one said pets are more important than people either. Guess I missed that part too.
What is pathetic is the fact some human being could do such a cruel and inhumane act. What is joyous, loving and kind is the community coming together to save this precious little dog.
There are food programs and there are school programs and yes, even programs that help those living under a bridge. THAT is human kindness.
I hope and pray everyone will send even the smallest amount to help this precious little dog who when healed and brought face to face with the person who inflicted this injury on this innocent animal would probably sit at the feet of the perp and forgive him because that’s they way animals are. They love and are willing to forgive for nothing more than a simple pat on the head and a kind word.
Below is a quote I found that explains the beauty of a canine. They are TRULY one’s best friend.
Our dogs will love and admire the meanest of us, and feed our colossal vanity with their uncritical homage. ~Agnes Repplier
If people want to give their time and money to help this dog, I say they have every right to do it. If no animal is to be helped until every jerk in the world is made happy and comfortable first, then no animal will ever be helped.
