Reply To: Stupid ASPCA commercials

It’s not hatred, it’s disappointment. I’m disappointed with humanity that prioritizes helping animals over other human beings in need. I have nothing against wildlife, and I love nature and think it is beautiful, BUT there is no reason one dime of anyone’s money should go to feed a terminally ill, 3 legged street cat that was abused by its owners for years and forced into hard labor, if instead it could go towards making an orphaned child slightly happier. Just because I know how to control my compassion with daas Torah, does not make me full of “hatred.” Just because your emotions get the best of you when you watch these commercials, that doesn’t mean that it’s a good cause. Would you be as inclined to help save a drowning ant hill with hundreds of thousands of ant lives, as you would just one adorable little cute puppy with a broken leg? NO… you wouldn’t! It’s because you fall prey to your misplaced emotions, not because you care about Hashem’s creations. Stop fooling yourself.
