Concern For A few Dogs And Cats And Little Else; Meat Production And Pets

     Human compassion for animals rarely extends beyond concern for a select few dogs and cats and sometimes for a few other species. (Hundreds of millions of ignored starving and diseased dogs and cats live in the most deplorable conditions on streets and elsewhere throughout the world.) The billions of cows, pigs, goats, chickens and other animals raised and killed to feed humans, dogs and cats raise no eyebrows. If dogs and cats were kept in inhumane conditions and then were slaughtered to feeds cows and pigs, the outcry would be enormous.
      Meanwhile, the heavy carbon footprint of meat consumption by people and their pets continues to be ignored, as does the inhumane treatment of factory farm animals.
