suffering people

I do try to help some people, but I just feel like people can change their lives easier than an animal can. Animals are at the mercy of we humans so it's not like an animal can just get in a car and drive to the hospital or go to a shrink or buy healthy food. It gets the level of care that a human is willing to give it, and if the human is cruel then the animal has little chance of ever escaping that cruel fate.

I do care about people that don't have a chance. For example, just on the news there was this middle eastern girl who went out with her 18 year old boyfriend. Because she did this, she was gang raped by seven different men. Now in Saudia Arabia the men don't get in any trouble.

THis is what is happening to this girl right now: She received a sentence of 200 lashings and 6 months in jail just for being out with her 18 year old boyfriend. You see in that country you have to be accompanied by men relatives when you go out.

Okay, listen, this girl will probably die from the 200 lashings. Her family can't speak up for her or they will get killed. There is No justice for this girl.

If there is anyone out there who has any power to help this girl and is reading this please do what you can to help. I don't know what to do. I just know it made me sick inside my stomach to hear this story. Singapore & America has it's problems, but it is nothing like this. On something like this, I just don't know how to help.

I guess for me it is easier to help an animals. I know I can make a difference by choosing not to eat them or contributing to their suffering. Humans seem so much more complicated and sometimes when you try to help them you get attacked. It's kind of like the drowning person that takes you down too. I do care about people, but I just don't know about how to really make a difference in that area. I think people have to be willing to help themselves and take responsibility for their own well-being.
