If they wanted to have a say in the matter, they would've became bipedal with thumbs and done something about it by becoming the dominant species of this planet .

The biggest problem in american (and human society in general) is a denial of what we really are. Censoring certain words on tv or music when everybody knows that they say them on a regular basis in their off camera life. There's almost this sense of guilt for being at the top of the food chain. We can't just do what we want with them but some people go alittle out of the way out of what is responsible action. There's 6.4 billion humans on this planet and over 50% of them live in extreme poverty. Another significant slice is just barely getting by with really low paying jobs.

People wanna worry about the environment and animals but don't give a damn about their fellow man. Yeah there's some fucked up things people do to the envrionment and animals, but when you wake up tomorrow the world is still gonna be there and its not gonna be filled with cute little puppies curing diseases, ending poverty, and making the world a better place for humans. A dog isn't gonna drive you to the hospital after you get messed up by something. It's not gonna start raining successful city plans anytime soon. When a dog attacks a human, what shows up to fix the problem? When a natural disaster hits an area, what shows up to help out? When humans attack other humans, what shows up to fix the problem? People do. There's no hesiatation to save an animal in need but if a person's in trouble "Ah they probably deserved it". "I made it, why can't they?" If everyone could make it on their own and didn't need some kind of generous intervention, the majority of the world would be healthy wealthy and safe but they're not so obviously there's a problem.

Just like not everyone can get lucky and make it on their own, not everyone is in the position to make a difference. I can't make a difference about anything. I don't have the resources to do that. But if you're going to take up a cause, take care of your own species before you villify them and attempt to "save" something else from an unjust situation in the world. I don't lose sleep when something bad happens because i wasn't in the position to prevent or fix it. I can come up with a theory on how it could've been prevented/fixed, but i had no chance of putting it to work. People need help before anything else, and one person or even a lot of people without the means isn't going to fix anything.
