A person who has to ponder about whether a pet or human is more important should not be allowed in leadership over people.

This remind me of a friend I knew who was homeless and a bit of an addict. He could not get anyone to work on his teeth so they were in really bad shape and he ended up losing them years later.

While he was a grown adult, who was responsible for himself, he did ask his parents for help (paying dentist directly, of course). His mother cited thousands of dollars in vet bills as a reason she could not help. His parents were very well off.

I can't even with people anymore. They would let a homeless person die of exposure, but would happily take in a stray until they find it's owner. Our priorities are truly fucked.
