Are you sick of animal lovers?

how come people seem so devoted to saving animals when there are people who need so much help.
Things like donations for dogs and rspca and petitions in the city centres. I do care for animals but i would rather see people helped first.

Answers:
I like pets. Humans tick me off too much. ;)
Because the thought is that people are self sufficient and animals are not.
NO
I just hate PETA. I don't care about the other organizations.
I agree with you to a point. Both people and animals that are sick or hurt need to be cared for.
i think its cos we can ask for help and animals can't. I give more money to animal charities than any other charities.
Maybe people don't know that there are humans in need. Maybe in the area you live in there are people who see more of animals in need
That is your choice, but if everyone felt as you do then who would be there for the animals? They are helpless creatures that are often treated very cruelly, someone has to stand up for them. I donate money to help people, but I do the same for animals.
People are helping other people not just the animals. that's why there is habitat for humanity..
Animals are very similar to people, and people find it fun to abuse them and hunt them and torture them. I sort of think we should have a few people devoted to helping the poor creatures, don't you?
As for people, there are many organizations devoted to helping us people. Hospitals? Firehouses?
Animals are just as importsnt as humans.
After all most times it takes a human to care for a animal
I care for humans as well as animals but our own government seems more bothered about helping other countries than helping our own, there are peolple in the uk who need help so when we give to charities do the needy here really get it, and a lot of people can help them selves animals rely on us to help them.
Yes. Animals belong in the wild. People who worry about animals have nothing better to do.
saving animals is important because some of them are being hunted to extinction. i very much doubt many humans have that problem!
Dude..has an animal ever cheated on your g/f, or stabbed you in the back, or sote from you, hurt you, tried to kill you.animals were put her for human companionship, why shouildnt we help them, look what the provide for our parents and grandparents in nursing homes, those old ppl that we love have a whole new meaning when they are able to pet and take care of these animals..all creatures need help. and as far as humans, yes we need help to, but every living creature does..my beef is simular to yours tho.why cant we just take care of the ppl in our own country instead of the other ones , then mayb we could provide for both animals and humans,
People can do for them self.Animals can't.People use other people. Animals will love you forever for the help you give them.
there is a need for it all. there is no limit to the help that can be given. to both people and animals. are you suggesting to help people only and forget the rest of the living on the planet? imagine a world where the animals dont count.
Animals are innocent and need humans to look after them,i would give all my money to an animal charity any day.The majority of humans cause nothing but suffering to themselves and the suffering of animals,this is why these animal charities are set up,because of evil people who torture and reject them.wake up and smell the coffee,people are the cause of the earths problems.
Because animals are way better than people in every way, shape and form. Mostly, it's peoples own fault the situation that they are in, but what can an animal do to deserve it? I have never donated to any people charities, but I have donated a few dollars to animal charities every time I see a donation box. I do hate peta though.
I FEEL THERE IS A NEED FOR HELP BECAUSE THERE IS AN OVER POPULATION OF UNWANTED ANIMALS. HUMANS DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO SPADE OR NEUTER THEY PETS. AND BESIDES THEY CAN NOT GO OUT AND GET JOBS TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. ON THE OTHER HAND, HUMANS ALSO NEED HELP...WITH EDUCATION AND JOBS AND BIRTH CONTROL. IF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SPENT AS MUCH TIME HELPING IT'S OWN, I DON'T BELIEVE WE HUMANS WOULD NEED SO MUCH HELP. I SAY SPADE AND NEUTER THE GOVERNMENT AND LET THE ANIMALS LIVE!!!!
People are devious, manipulative and darn right rude, they steal, murder and lie. Which animal does those things?

There are more humans helping other humans and only a small amount helping animals. If there were two collection boxes next to each other - one for humans and the other for animals my money would go into the animal box. Sorry if I offend but like I said, humans get a lot of help already.
see the problem with that is that some people take advantage of others trying to help them. alot of people are in the positions they are in because of the dumb choices that they have made. animals dont have a choice what happens to them they have no control over thier own fate.i do agree that we should put focus into helping those who need help but we have a million starving people in our country but we choose to spend billions of dollars helping and rebuilding for a country that tried to destroy us its a government issue really!
Ultimately, humans have a choice about how they will live their lives. With the exception of a few unfortunate individuals, too ill to care for themselves, everyone in this country has the opportunity to better themselves.
And, programs do exist. There is plenty of money out there, you just need to know where to look. Problem is people are too prideful to take the offered help or too lazy to look for it.
Animals, on the other hand, have no choices. No reasoning ability to make the choices if they had some. They are completely under the care and at the mercy of humans. Not just pets, wild animals are hunted and developed out of their natural habitats without their permission or involvement in the decision making process.
That is why I sympathize more with the plight of animals than I do with people.
because animals dont argue with you- they are a pleasure to be around. the more i get to know fellow humans, the more i love my pets
Icannot explain why I do love animals so much,but it was not a concious decision,it is just part of my makeup,and I am sorry if I upset some people,but during my working life,I was a nurse,and that gave me great satisfaction to care for people.Marina
I AM SICK OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT ANIMALS!!you know people who usually ask this question don't help anybody!!i live in greece and the animal abuse is beyond description!!god created some people to help people and some people to help animals!animals can't help themselves and people show how human they are by helping them!!also an animal will never betray you!!
YOU should be upset with BUSH for spending millions on wars and arms!!do you know how many people could be saved with that money?but you worry about the small amount of money these poor shelters get to eaze the misery of some poor creature?shame on you!!
I see your point. I love animals but I agree people are more important. Donations for animals are important too. People (not children but adults) can be taught to help themselves and there are programs for them. Animals can never take care of themselves.

Think of it this way. People who like animals better then people will not make donations to programs for people anyway, so nothing is lost.
Like many have said there are many organisatins for the help of people all over the world The United Nations, the European Court of Human rights, NSPCC, Social Services, Police, Ambulance service, Fire Service, Bono, Bod Geldoff..the list goes on. Billions of pounds each year goes to help countries to try and get out of poverty, to produce clean water, and teach how to grow food and create industry. But corruption is rife in thse needy countries so the money does not get to the right people

Most if not all are given governmental funding in financing operations and keeping equipment in tip top condition.

Animals which need help because of being endangered, mistreatd, abused, tortured all because of humans have to rely on the good will of people who put thier hand in thier pockets for spare change to give to animal charities like the RSPCA, SSPCA and other animal shelters and animal hospitals, who give needed care to animals. Non of the lottery money goes to animal charities, infact where does the lottery money go?.

The human plight is more obvious because it is dramatised on TV, and animals cant put thier plight across to the average joe public.

So to put it another way, why aren't humans doing more to stop the misery they cause animals.
animals need help too. i certainly could not ignore a sick or injured animal anymore than i could a child! but your missing the point here, if it were not for the animal organizations like DOGS TRUST, THE BATTERSEA DOGS HOME, and THE CATS PROTECTION LEAGUE. E.T.C. we would be overun with unwanted dogs and cats. THEY at least make sure they are neutured , therefore controlling the domestic animal population. the local councils are not really the greatest at handling these matters, but there are experts that can, but they need help to do it. they cannot run these places on fresh air! like it or not ,we do have an animal population and it's up to us as sensible human beings with a bit of compassion for ALL living things ( human or otherwise ) to help where we can! as for the wild animals ,many are close to extinction ( it's mostly OUR fault ) it is also up to us as temporary keepers on this earth to make sure the next and future generations are not deprived of experiencing these magnificent beings! it IS after all, part of nature and the whole eco system, there are charities for everyone and everything and it's certainly nice to know that there are people out there doing their bit to help all KINDS of life . hope this helps bye for now....
simple - you prefer to donate your money to people - animal lovers prefer to donate theirs to animals!
Its a personal choice really - I mean as an extensive animal owner without children - my loyalty lies with animals!
And whilst I know children are abused etc etc - I personally feel animals are less defensive than humans - I mean an abused child once old enough can run and speak - an animal cant.
Whilst I applaud your opinion on humanity purposes - I think you should rephrase your question as I personally am offended by "are you sick of animal lovers"
