It is a shame that stories about people mistreating animals sometimes get more compassion than mistreating children.



Most of the stories about mistreated animals come from the bs propaganda garbage that groups like PETA or the humane society put out. All they are trying to do is make people feel sorry for these animals so donations will flow in.

IMO there is nothing sadder than a mistreated or abused child. What makes it bad is there are many parents who abuse their children but never realize it. As far as more or less compassion I never really thought about that. If I have compassion for someone or something I don't think I feel more or less for different situations.

The thing that bothers me is someone who gets a pet and never interacts with it. They put it outside and give it food and water once a day if the pet is lucky. You shouldn't put them on the same level as a human but they deserve more than just a bowl of food every day or so. Why would anyone go to the trouble and expense if that's all they plan on doing with them.
