in today's world ,more and more people love pets.to support pets,they not only spend much money but also a lot of energy.they could go to walk with their pets and wash them every day carefully.in some conditions ,we could say that they put all their energy on the pets.this makes unundersandable.i just do not know why.you know now there are even millions of people who do not have enough food.why could we be kind to people other than pets?

jiamingzhi, it is a reality that we just cannot give dole outs to people who claims to be hungry. i have a neighbor whom we can consider to be poor but, we cannot give them food everyday even if we can afford to do it. before, i used to include them when i cook lunch. then i give them enough for them to eat. what happened then why i stopped doing it is because, they want me to give them food three times a day demanding for it as though i owe it to them. they become more lazy and depend on those who give them dole outs. do you see that now? it is not our responsibility to worry about the hungry. it is our responsibility to carry on with our work and to become good citizens. let us pay our taxes properly and government will take care of the poor.

yes i see that phenomenon around me.i completely agree with you that it is our responsibility to carry on with our work and to become good citizens.we just can do what we can.and if our good actions bring bad effect then we should think more about our actions.is there any other more effective solution?
