It might be hard for folks on the internet to relate to 4000 African humans dying a horrible, gruesome, and immensely painful death, but they can relate to a dog being euthanized. Just sayin'... "

That is so a$$ backwards its beyond scary.

I believe the difference is that 4000 is too immense. They don’t “have a face”. It’s just a staggering number where as one little dog is more “personal”.

Magnitude and innocence.

I can relate to one. But thousands? Why do we allow the American government continue to bankrupt our childrens’ futures? I can understand my paycheck, but I cannot relate to trillions.

And innocence. The dog is not in control of what is happening to it.

Watched quite a few videos over the weekend of reporting from Liberia. Sad. But a good portion of the population there is not pulling themselves out of the conditions where this virus is thriving. And lying/bribing to keep family members who have died from the virus from being cremated. It is a huge mess.
