Ignorance and hate

I was linked to this page by a friend, which is really a sad sight if you're an animal lover. I have to say, I'm shocked by some comments that people have posted on there. For example, this one comparing animals to human suffering.

I think it is pathetic how all of you can be moved by the suffering of some birds, while the United States has multiple active wars in progress. Wars that hurt humans.

If you will sit back and let war be waged around the world, why is this really so hard to witness? We eat birds every day.

If you don't care about humanity, quit fooling yourself, you don't care about this either.

Pathetic!

Now, I care about people, and I care about animals. But, this person is basically saying people should not care about these oil slicked birds, because animals are just food. Are you kidding me? If you think about it, if all humans' actually cared about life, then there wouldn't be any wars. There wouldn't be any killing of other humans. Don't tell people they do not care about humanity just because we care about animals and find animals in danger saddening. Tell people that kind of stuff on a news report about human deaths and war!

Honestly, I wish that most humans, the "most intelligent" species on Earth would use that thing between their ears called a brain, to realize that murder and war and such is actually very UNINTELLIGENT and stop killing one another! Until you can drill that into peoples' heads, then don't bitch at the people who care about animals, because I think you'll find we care about humans too.

I also don't care much for this comment.

no words. the british must pay for this. colonialist pigs. everything they touch dies or gets murdered. Just look at their history!! All their women leaders from Elizabeth to Thatcher are bloody murderers.

Why do people blame an entire country for one thing like this? I'm a Brit, and I have NOTHING to do with this horrible act. I'll acknowledge that BP is a British company (I didn't know that until today), but how are ALL Brits linked to this? It's one company! Come on, that would be like blaming every person in the United States for stupid decisions like the war in Iraq. Is every person in the US really responsible for that? NO!

I really wish people wouldn't be so ignorant, and blaming every American for the suffering in the world. Or calling every Brit a murderer because of history. STOP BEING STUPID PEOPLE!
