Should animal welfare charities be banned?
Is it reasonable for people to give money to animals which have been mistreated by their owners, when so many people in the world desperately need help? Maybe we should use the force of the law more than relying on the RSPCA and such charities.
Answers:
animal welfare charities should never be banned but the governments should do more on prosecuting animal/pet owners who don't take care or mistreat their animals it's not the animals fault that they are mistreated its the owners who should be punnished....it's always the innocent that suffer.........
No they should not be banned, BUT much more should be done for the human species.
People get moved by different things. The benefit of this country is that you can spend your money however you see fit. If you want to support a few dogs and cats, that's your bag. I'm not going to participate, but I'm sure there are others who want to.
Maybe people like you should concentrate on donating to some charities instead of b*tch*ng about them on here.
There is always going to be a need for animal charities as well as ones for needy people.
There are always gonna be things in the world that desperately need help. And there will always be people with money to spare who donate to these causes. But it would be wrong to force them to donate to a cause that does not call to them, people need to have their free will in tact.
All life is special - humans, and animals
they should not be banned.
I think animals have right to some charity, especially after they've been mistreated by a human. What gives anyone the right to say an old lady can't leave her money to a cats home! People who mistreat animals do get prosecuted in civilised countries.
NO. they shouldn't be banned. some people's only friends and only companions are dogs & cats, parrots & ferrets, and whatever else. maybe people don't want to help other people, or they don't like other people. maybe, their dog was abandoned and mistreated. you have to help what your heart desires. sure, people are living in poverty & sickness, but there are MILLIONS of other people out there. plus, dogs save lives. look at what they did to help us in 9/11. you have to rely on animals, because they need help too. people need help as well, but lots of people care about people. few care about animals, and those who dont, mistreat them.
nope, too many people in the world to care for all of them. The animals looked after by these charities are usually ones that humans have f#cked around with, so its only right that other (more caring) humans have the decency to look after such animals.
A better point would have been do you think its right that the Uk spends something like over £10million on non essential pet products each year and even more on human personal toiletires.
There are a lot of things that need help and even if you banned animal charities there would still be starvation, poverty, AIDS etc so why not help the poor little animals who can't defend themselves against people? It's only after the animal gets abused/killed that the law can step in sao that's pretty useless.
Animals need our help too! Alot of people abuse animals and it disgusts the hell out of me! They are Gods creatures and since they cannot speak for themselves then we have to help them too. Yes, people should concentrate on the needs of people living in poverty, starvation, and abuse before they run to the mailbox with their spca donation. That's why we have both. For the needs of animals as well as people.
The more I learn about people the more I love my dogs !!
The law is an as.. . when it comes to any kind of punishment for people that are doing any wrong .
well people give to charities out of the goodness of their hearts, So yeah Shove them all in jail!
I see your point there. I know people who would rather give money to animal charities than children's charities. I think people should be more concerned about other people than about animals and yes laws should be enforced. I find it disgusting that you can be imprisoned for mistreating a dog but if you mistreat your own child, you just get a social worker trying to "make everything ok". It's all very well giving money to animal charities, but as you say, there are people who need help. I'm sure if the money being sent to look after animals went to people, there could easily be a lot less poverty.
Saying all that though, I don't think animal charities should be banned, they just shouldn't be made to seem more important than people.
Yes it is reasonable. People earn their own money and have the freedom to spend it how they will. How would you feel if, as a consumer, someone told you you could only buy a certain brand of bread or shop in only 3 different types of shop etc. Miffed, I suspect, as would I.
Charity starts where Government stops, in virtually all areas. Personally I think the amoumt of money some "human" charities have is obscene - take Guide Dogs For The Blind. They have millions of pounds in their reserves. How many Guide Dogs do they actually train each year? No more than a couple of hundred. Yet do they give their money away to other more deserving causes? No. They actively campaign and advertise to increase the amount of money they have. Now that's obscene!
No, It seems backwards huh? But both man and animals need help..
Animals are abused , and you can't ,with good consious forget about how animals contribute to our health, welfare and happiness..
no.
Of course they shouldn't be banned. Animals need our help more than ever for the very reason that many people view them as less important than people. Non-human animals should have a right to life, health, and happiness just like us. People would probably view them differently if they could speak our language and tell us their feelings. Animals feel too, you know. Yes, people are in desperate need of help too, but I wouldn't worry about the animal charities taking away from the human charities. And you do realize that animal welfare organizations do a lot more than help individidual animals that have been mistreated by their "owners" ("guardians" is a more appropriate term). Animals share our world and should be looked after with care and respect. We are all connected, and we must take care of each other if we are to survive. Animal welfare is directly linked to human welfare and the viability of this planet. Please don't separate the two and cast animals into a lower category. To do so would harm the human rights movement and human welfare in general, which you seem to care much about. Humans need to realize that they are not the only life form on this planet, although they are clearly the most destructive.

No, animals are just as worthy to recieve charity and protection as we are, even more, I think. Because people CAN go out and get a job, no matter how much they say they can't, even homeless people, I feel bad for them but if they really set their mind to it, the resourses are available for them to get a job and work. Animals DO NOT have that option, they can't work (lmao obviously) and have to depend on humans to eat live and thrive and if they fall ill or get hurt they deserve to at least have a chance. However, allot of house animals who are just looking for a shelter or food become pets and are mistreated and they don't deerve it, they deserve a chance, there here for a reason (lol, and I'm not even religious, so it has nothing to do with "god" ). All life is prescious and should be treated equally, no matter if we even are "the surperb species). lol, just my opinion, but I do know where you're coming from, humans are important, but animals deserve a chance, is all I'm trying to say. I'm not saying they should have have a right to an education, lmao, but you know what I mean,lol
no. if the owners are going to abuse them and get the animals taken away, I say we charge the owners for the room and board of these animals until home are found for them. Until ppl start being responsible and taking care of their pets, instead of dumping them when they don't want them anymore, we need animal charities to care for them.
Animal charities such as the RSPCA need donations to bring owners of mistreat animals to justice.If there wasn't any animal charities and it was left to the police, taxes would go up,overall its up to the individual where they want to donate there money.
Maybe we should have all pet ownership made subject to licensing laws.
They should be using them in protecting livestock and chickens. They animals we usually eat are the animals that suffer the most, if you knew the unhealthy life they have, you wouldn't eat them.
Of course it is! animal charities do a lot of good work and sometimes the law is an ***!
