To compare cats to human beings is worrying. If that's how people feel then so be it but I for one am much more horrified when I hear of children being injured than a cat. I guess we have to agree to disagree.
i don't care what people think of me Boo - I am my own person, I am entitled to my own view and I view living things as being equal!
Whether it was a child or an anmial I would do my best to help, regardless. I will even go as far to say I prefer animals to people but that does not mean I would leave a child wedged in a window.
No hard feelings from me either. I'm just astonished over some peoples thoughts that animal cruelty is somehow not important enough to worry about.
To me compassion is compassion is compassion. And to reitterate. I'd be equally as distressed over a child being hurt/injured/mistreated or in this case stuck as I would an animal.It doesn't mean I value one over the other.
Nobody said animal cruelty wasn't worrying but it isn't as worrying as child cruelty but I guess that's just me. I would be more upset about a child being injured than a cat, although both would be upsetting.
Cruelty is cruelty whether to animals or people. To me it's just the same. In my view people who are cruel to animals would be cruel to humans as well if they could get away with it. It's easier to be cruel to a defenceless being that can't fight back.
Fortunately, Mr LL would go up and rescue anything whether it be a child, a cat, or whatever. So would I, but I am not physically able to.
How anyone can distinguish between types of cruelty is beyond me. It's the same no matter which of gods/natures creatures it is directed at....They are in distress,and we help...simple.
