Why do people care about animal rights!!!?

Your right dude. to tell you the truth people who live in Africa or eastern europe and other poor parts of the world don't give a hoot about animal rights. the reason is ; people in Canada and USA are so rich and privileged that they don't have anything to think about other than animals. if there was a famine going on or people were dying from lack of medical care, then the money that goes to animal shelters would go to poor people.I agree with you 100% brother.
