14. Honestly
No, that poor person is dead, his/her suffering is over. That cat is still alive, and has only started the long road to death.

I am angered by the reason they are dead, and I am sad that they have died.

What I am going to say is very anti-Dem of me, but I have always felt that PEOPLE can take care of themselves far better than a house pet. We owe the sick and the old the help they need, but pets we take into our home are not critical thinkers, they are dumb cats and dogs.

When it is all said and done, people have control of where they physically are right now, pets do not.

Do I care about the people still stuck, in need of help and alive, Hell yes... The same as the cat.
