I find it difficult to understand why someone cannot care about people and about animals at the same time. I don't think that it's a case of survival of the man vs the animals. It's up to people to organise their societies/economies in such a way, so they will not have to endanger animal species to earn their living.
Anyway what I've seen is far tooooooo cruel :(

May the roof above us never fall in, and may the friends below never fall out!
