This is a list of things people care about more than animals (especially animals like pigs, cows, and chickens, etc.)-money (obviously), TVs, football, golf, basketball, baseball, NASCAR, soccer, tennis, ping pong, Tiddlywinks, god, Jesus, flags, Scandal, phones, The Price Is Right, what they look like, wallpaper, cars, Wheel of Fortune, soap operas, shoes, shoelaces, tools, furniture, bug spray, hammocks, paperweights, Jeopardy, their weight, letter openers, their lawns, pens, Frisbees, hula hoops, jewelry, crystals, alcohol, drugs, bubblegum, bubble bath, sex, The Walking Dead, etc.
I could go on and on here, but the point is obvious. To the average person, animals' lives are practically worthless. I may have mentioned this here before, but I'll probably never forget this line from a movie called The Boost. James Woods' character bought a car and a dog for his wife. He said something like, "A $50,000 car and a $2 mutt: go figure." I think this was meant to be a funny line, but it makes me very sad, because it's true. Dogs are pretty much free to adopt, but they're put to sleep because they're not wanted. It seems to me like the only way to enjoy life with all this suffering going on is to have no conscience.
