why is dogs trust even there????

same here. I swear ill lose respect for anyone who does vote dogs trust but meh, please think about it. everyone's entitled to their opinion but there is plenty of chances for animal chances while mental health ones are still to this day looked down upon :(

I agree. -.- How does dog trust even got so many votes tbh?
Voted balls to cancer because male cancer should have as much awareness as female one.

As much as abandoned dogs might make you upset (I mean, they're flipping adorable animals) I don't think it's better than supporting a charity that deals with human suffering.
However, -repping somebody for voting for Dogs Trust seems a little far; it's just their opinion and clearly they value the life of a dog than they value the life of a person.

Voted Depression Alliance, hopefully they're the chosen charity this year! :)

i'll forever value an animals life, but never, never over a humans life. of course it's quite sad when animals die under vicious circumstances, but human life is just far more sacred. one has relatives, friends and emotional bonds with others that can be completely torn apart because of mental illnesses, death, abuse, etc. the fact of the matter is that an issue with an individual doesn't just affect that said person, but also every single person who is connected to that person, which can trigger problems with those people which could turn into a never-ending cycle if the necessary support isn't there.

plus, i think it's even more important to vote for a charity that focuses on people, especially because it's for christmas. a time where not everyone has families and friends to be with. a time where ones depressive state could manifest further (obviously talking on broader terms), or where children around the world don't have the quality of life we have. or the possibility of a family member dying around christmas time, forever cementing that moment into family and friends minds every year around a festive time. if someone thinks a dog is more important than all of that, then there's not much else to be said.

anyway, you can tell i'm trying to avoid doing my dissertation literature review can't ya

Great post an agree so much,

one thing that bugs me is people are like aww we are all for saving animals, yet you ask them are they a vegetarian and they say no, I don't get how you can be all for saving animals and yet eat them at the same time, it seems so hypocritical. When there's a charity for saving chickens fish and farm animals then I might think about donating money to animal charities,

humans should always come first in my opinion over an animal every time, yea it's sad if a animal died but who's actually affected by it?? No one whereas is a person dies their family are ripped apart and saddened.
