And how are you and me neglicting those "important issues" by just taking some time commenting on this news going on? What are you doing to help those issues?

And yet here you are commenting in this thread.

Because thats how headline news works. It gets people to ignore other issues. All people are worried about and talking about right now is a single animal. Meanwhile, this causes people to donate money, etc to causes that prevent this, instead of to more important things, like kids who never get the opportunity for a good learning experience, or women getting raped way too often.

Who are you to say what people should and should not donate to? Sure the things you mentioned are more important, but that doesn't make protecting our planet and it's animals a bad cause. I think major win that there are just more people out there donating because this, I would love to believe all this money being donated would have gone towards helping kids in developing nations get an education if it wasn't for this and we could fix that problem, but I can't. Most of this money would have gone towards things that we don't need.
