People kill people on a daily basis. It's almost so natural it's hilarious. We stopped giving a shit about humans killing human a long time ago. It's only when there's some big incident that we actually give a shit. People are pretty fucking useless. We're only useful for destroying everything around us.
As for injustice? Get used to it. The world is filled with this shit. It's all a case of luck which ones are shown in the media.

you're a pretty shitty human being huh ?
You can call me that if you want. But the fact remains. I find it pretty hard to care about people we know nothing about except for the fact that were molested, killed or maimed.
yet an unnamed animal is more offensive for you ? cause what their innocent ?
More or less. Animals do what they do cause it's based on their instinct. Same for small children. Can't say the same for people.
So simply because humans are not driven by pure instinct , they are beyond sympathy ,and should all basically be ignored ? I get what you're trying to say with the animals , but I just can't agree. It's really easy to just condemn people ,and get all dough eyed over animals ,but how can you just justify it with "we kill each other all the time , it's funny now".. not everyone wants to harm another person ,and believe it or not there are a lot of innocent ,and generally good people in the world.

There's no doubt that there are good people in the world. But if you're asking me to give two shits about them? No thanks. I never said people were beyond sympathy just because they don't act on instinct. But that's all I can give them. Never once did I say I don't feel bad for other people. I merely said that I don't care.
The reason I find people killing people funny, is the fact that humans are the only ones who give a damn about it. Humans are too damn high-minded about who they are. They are not superior in any category besides a more advance mind. Which incidentally is what is killing the planet. I find it more funny how people are so damn concerned about killing each other. You don't seem to understand that morality is something that we created. No such thing exists in nature. And as it turns out, everyone's morality is different.
I care more about animals, because I don't care for people. It's simple as that.

I don't think he's wanting your opinions on where and how he should change the channel. I think he wants to hear from likeminded people who are annoyed by this topic, not sure WHAT he wants to hear but yeah... But yah, shinji, I don't watch the news anymore, if I do, it's the onion or dailyshow/colbert report. I find I learn more through social satirical commentary than the idiots on fox trying to shovel fear down my feedbag. So I don't hear too much about animal cruelty. Also it shouldn't get more face time.I have to agree, this is pretty much how I get my news too. Sure it's satirical but the story still gets across, at least I can get a laugh out of it even if it's serious and not something I'd usually laugh about. Shit at least it's not so depressing. As for the animal cruelty thing, I don't hear about it that often aside from a couple of times I randomly DO watch a normal news broadcast.
I agree with this as well. I dont particularly watch the news much but the stuff that doesnt pertain to what's going on in our area and is just down right depressing I tend to change the channel. And I watch colbert/dailyshow too. Also for the animal abuse. Im nice to my cats! Dx But I think 5 mintes is enough. More talk isnt gonna stop the people who hurt them.

We honestly do care more about animals than we do about humans when it comes to things like this.
Hard to say exactly why. But one reason is that it is easier to feel emotion for an animal you never met. Mostly because to people, animals have less complex personalities than humans often. And a dog will translate into a dog and the emotions are transferable.
People, on the other hand, will have what people determine as complex personalities. Because of this, one human will not translate into another human in people's minds and thus our emotions are not transferable.
Though, if you ever just give it as a statistic then no one will really give a shit about it either way.

I want to know why people are able to show more anger ,and displeasure with this , than the mistreatment of their fellow man.I totally understand what you mean, and i've been wondering that myself too.
i get more upset for commiting animal cruelty than i get for someone harming another human being myself.. i think it is because the animals don't have a chance to defend theirselfs.
