There is only so much each person can do to contribute to society. Short of moving to Africa to help people personally.....there is only so much money that can be given.....money doesn't solve everything as you most certainly seem aware of. Some things are out of our hands.....get use to it.
Oh.....go rescue a pet.....it appears that you need som eloving attention.

The only reason there are so many pets (and therefore abondoned pets) is because there is such demand for those pets.
You are rescuing animals that are only in existence because of the personal lifestyle choices of the most disparately rich group of people ever on the face of the planet.
I am saying you are free to do so. I am just adding that those that chose to do so are in doing so making a value choice that IF they have a faith system must be reconciled. I just don't see some god-force like that represented in the bible being cool with chosing domestic animal life (especially since the decision to do so reinforces the choice to breed that life, which in turn creates an ever larger pool of problem cases) relative to actually trying to make a difference with those same resources for REAL LIVING HUMANS! Who would Christ try to feed with ALL of his extra dollars? Humans or pet cats?
The pet industry is considerably larger then our total foreign aid commitments.
