Would you adopt an animal at the animal shelter or adopt a kid? A lot of animals are supposedly euthanized at animal shelters worldwide. So it would seem only humane that they are saved. The animal activists say ""Do Not BREED or BUY while Millions Die!!!!!!" "Have a heart, do your part....Have your pets Spayed or Neutered." Stop the Killing NOW!!" On the other hand the amount you would spend on the animal through the year would be enough to help a few kids. But then again if the adoption was international you don't know if the money you sent was actuallly being spent the way you intended it to be. So what would you do?

If you were to ask me, I'll adopt a kid. Adoting a child is a great help. I've been to an orphanage in our country and I saw how do this children suffer there.It was Christmas then, and I bought gifts for this kids. I've seen normal and abnormal kids. They were taken care less because of the lack of funds. There were a lot of them abandoned by their parents. What's the most touching part in there was they were in tears when I left. So, I said to myself that if given a chance to adopt a child, I'll go back there and bring an abnormal child with me. I am donating at the orphanage, but what I bring their are not money but goods.

Ok this is kind of a weird question. I guess I would do both if I had the chance. We've gotten pets from shelters before and when we decide to get another pet we'll look at the shelter first. I would probably adopt if I could afford to have another child in our house. we have three already and we've decided to stop but maybe down the road we'll adopt.

ah well I know thats what I thought too(about the question being weird) but well you know I thought most of us have the resources to just push for 1. And well then I thot it would be nice to know what do people think is the best way to go about either thanks
