That\'s like asking, if you had the choice between a girl or saving a really hot girl, which would you choose?
I have compassion for both humans and non-humans. I don\'t, and will never, share the "Man is greater than anything else" belief. When a dog attacks a 3-year-old kid, it\'s sad yes, but most of the time the owner is at fault. THEY PUT THE ANIMAL TO SLEEP, and let the dude go with a fine...What\'s to stop the guy from ever raising a dog improperly. I see people kick their dogs, let their dogs alont outside for days, just feed the dogs whatever is left from dinner...all this can amount to only one thing and that is anger and mistrust in part of the animal.
Bush is asking Congress for a 2.4 TRILLION dollar budget for this year. He wants to press defeating terrorism(Like we have even found Osama), strengthening home land security and trying to make the sluggish economy. But by doing this he is going to cut programs in agriculture, housing, prisons, education and environmental protection, among other areas. What\'s the use of spending money to save ourselves now when in a couple of years, (if all the pollution as of now gets worst continues) we will all rot and die from our own filth. God isn\'t going to end the world, Nukes aren\'t going to end the world, "soul"less animals aren\'t going to end the world, humans are.
