If you live in the U.S. you've probably seen this commercial, or at least heard about it. Sad images of poor animals in shelters, trying to tug at the heartstrings of viewers to compel them to call up and give a donation to the ASPCA. For the record, I'm not against preventing animal cruelty, not at all. What seems odd to me though is the way that advertisements like this are made and plastered all over television in order to solicit contributions to keep animals out of shelters, but commercials calling for an end to cruelty to humans before they are born are practically non-existent.
Most people would agree that people are more important than animals, so why is it that we are being told, essentially, that humans aren't as important as dogs. That they're less than dogs and not worth the money that would be spent to save them. It's odd, to say the least.
