1. Sadly I know someone like this...

2. This applies to ALL living creatures.

3. Let's not go down this road

I get it - people matter. But that doesn't make wanting to rescue animals a bad thing.

5. Exactly... As though being cruel to animals is acceptable as long as people are not mistreated?

This is ugly.

4. Don't denigrate animal lovers. The thing is, none of us has faced the inhuman caging of children...

This is new mind blowing territory and it isn’t your basic citizen ripping them from their families, using them as threats and locking them in pens.

It’s the goddamn authorities.
The foul, vile indecent federal government led and directed by the most vomitus malignant narcissist to ever stain the White House. And The Republican and The Stupid and The Soulless.

We must be loud and defiant and fight them all.

[Duppers]

8. Exactly!

We can have compassion for BOTH (walk and chew gum at the same time). Folks, do not attack because I do not think anyone is saying they are equivalent.

I don't understand why the inhumane treatment of immigrant children is not more of a priority in the media.

HHS is responsible for these actions and for the care these children receive.
HHS now has a budget of $1.1 TRILLION. It's the largest domestic agency in the government. It's now headed by Alex Azar, former top executive of Eli Lilly - yep big pharma.

Did you know there were more than 67,000 unaccompanied minors crossing the US southern border in 2016.

WHAT SHOULD we do with more than 67,000 unaccompanied CHILDREN? Seriously. HHS hasn't been giving them proper care. Some have been trafficked!!

This is in addition to the babies and kids pulled from their mothers and fathers.

6. Surely the wealthiest nation in the world can be humane to children AND animals.

7. Best response.

This can and should be the case. It's obscene that it currently is not.
