I don't know if you have a pet, but most people consider pets family. The bond people form with animals is stronger than you may think, so to those people, animals are just as important if not more important than some stranger who lives 10K miles away.

Would you rather help your starving brother or a starving man in Africa? Same goes for people and animals. In some sense they are placed on the same level as one another. I'd rather help my starving pet than the starving man in Africa.

This is getting off topic. Im hungry. Adios.
