I'm not certain we'll ever get them
to care about animals
Maybe after we learn to care about people!

People, as a whole, are generally flawed. So
obsessed with their individual concerns, and of course amassing wealth and
possesions...Our own government is working hard to eliminate social programs
that, while abused by some, feed, house, cloth, teach, and give health care for
children....We fund schools based on test scores, spending more money where the
scores are higher because those children have more "potenial" thereby
fulfilling our own prophacy by declaring that those who did not score well
never had the potential to begin with. Well, Einstein failed algebra.
People don't care about people...I'm not certain we'll
ever get them to care about animals. I guess we just have to keep screaming
into the wind and hoping SOMEONE in the future will hear.

If you
put "kids" in place of "animals', well - you wouldn't have
"breeders" (uh in the way that we do for cats), they wouldn't have a
city
organization devoted to euthanizing (sometimes inhumainely), or they
wouldn't be running loose on the street clawing thru the garbage - well not
as much. And people might care more.
