Reply To: Stupid ASPCA commercials

Writersoul – that’s a well known halacha, but completely irrelevant. Nobody here is denying the existence of the mitzvah/aveirah of TBC. The point is that you have no responsibility to go around looking for animals to help – especially if on your path to help those animals, you neglect humans that need help.

What bothers me is that these organisations take away charity money that might have otherwise gone to feed-the-children type of organisations. Also, the way they over-inflate how important their cause is in their commercials disturbs me. I may have a sarcastic and cynical style of writing, but my main point is that it bothers me that society is almost at the point of treating animals as equals to humans. Beastial marriages are not hard to imagine anymore.
