Why does no one care about animals anymore

[Count of Cutesy]

It seems like every where I go, when there's a topic about Animals, everyone in the topic seems to say stuff like "Animals are unimportant," and "Humans are more valuable than animals, who have no value." I also noticed a rise in animal cruelty and hunting. What's more, there seems to be more and more games, TV shows, etc with animals and animal lovers as badguys, and to make matters worse, animal hating people as the goodguys. Even Animal Planet these days rarely shows how facinating animals are in favor of how horrible they are. Have animals really become this worthless?

I honestly have no idea where you've got this from. For me it seems like the opposite is happening.

Not to me, and they never will.  In my eyes, animals will ALWAYS win over humans, because they have something we don't, and that's purity.  Their lives are more or less ran by survival of the fittest, not ran by little pieces of paper with numbers and presidents on them.  Animals are the best thing on this planet, all of them from avians to reptiles and everything in between.  I won't ever stop caring...

[Gelidus]

I agree with both of you. There is an expansion of both beliefs. I lived in California where certainly Puncia's view was much more perfered. Now I'm in Oklahoma where there is a lot of hunting and BEEF license plates and such.

Odd, that's what it seemed like to me, anyway.

I'm sorry, but as much as I like animals, that's a pretty big stretch.

[rsteele1113]

Well, that's just my opinion.  You're free to take it or leave it.

[Puncia]

Over the web and such, I see more and more PETA people and vegs and the lot. People that are pro animals and anything from "Eh, hunting for sports is kinda bad", all the way to "I refuse to drink milk even though not milking the cow is animal abuse".

[Count of Cutesy]

That might account to why. To many insane animal lovers and not enough sane ones, Ergo, I see more and more people who say they hate anything that's not human.

Couldn't have said it better myself..
I got the question once, that if I was in a house that was burning down and had just enough time to save either a dog puppy or a baby, which would I save?
I said that I was unsure, that I would try save both if I could, but if I only could take one, I would probably go for the puppy tbh! But it really would depend on the circumstances...

i agree with bunnycorn on one thing...that the humans capacity for cruelty is ENOURMOUS
i was watching the animalplanets rescue show..and i cried alot

there was a tiny puppy left to die with hudnreds of ticks in his ears sucking the life from him

a rottwiler with her 2 puppies (had 8 but the others died) left to die from starvation and dehydration in someones back yard with a dog that was dead and hanging from the fence by its leash.

another mommy dog with her litter of 10 and she was nothing but skin and bones...LITTERALY. they said she was like...a DAY away from death

and the final straw before i couldnt watch it anymore was a poor little dog with its legs all ductaped together..its mouth duct taped closed..put in a plastic bad and left on the side of the road to die in the heat.
i cannot even begin to even COMPREHEND how ANYONE could be so evil and cruel to ANYTHING. it made me hug my dog and be glad he never had to live like that. its truely sickening what some people do.

[Kaprika]

That's really bad. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch that show. So many cruel humans.

the reason i watch it is so that i can know whats out there happening to those poor animals...and to see the filthy humans that do it get brought to justice

[Count of Cutesy]

Just for the record, I am in no way saying an animal has more value than a human. However...

What you said, that just makes me want to die. I knew there were some people who were cruel to animals, but the last thing would just be unforgivable to me.

*nods*...and thats just one episode..the abuse and neglect is endless. so whenever i see a coin jar to help abused animals get medical help and new homes..i alwase donate as much as i can

[Count of Cutesy]

Me too, but then again, I donate to pretty much every charity I come across.

I am.  Humans are way less valuable than animals.  Think about it like money and inflation.  Once there is a crap load of money printed, its value is lower.  There are more humans than almost all animal species, therefore there is much more humans to spare than animals, making them less valuable.
