My rosh yeshiva said it very simply – its not that we don’t care for animals. Animals are great. People are just better. I dont have a problem with the ASPCA – if their methods work its society’s problem for falling for it. That being said the Nazis yemach shemam were known for being very good to their animals as were some well known dictators. Vehamayvin Yavin. I do agree with Curioisity that we have to be very careful about where our morals come from as many of them may be from a place that is not kosher even if it makes us feel good. It is a very slippery slope.
