Not once had I heard a statement about some people preferring animals over fellow human beings. I had seen so many women with dogs or cats giving the best of care to them. I even saw one kissing her pet cat on the lips! I believe these pets are being fed well, given as much comfort as possible, provided with health care and other available ways to better treat them. I am sure many had sen it as a very good gesture. Extending love to animals is really a tribute man.
However, placing this side by side with how many people/men/women are dying of hunger, wanting of health care, working very hard to earn a some money, physically tortured and even killed brutally, and victims of injustice, one would think whether we are truly loving and caring. Why are animals cared and loved more than men and women who are in need? Are animals more important than men? Maybe to some or on some valid grounds. But if we are to look at it in the ultimate and their essences, human beings are way way more important than any animal in the world. Human beings have souls. They are God's greatest creation. Animals were made in the service of men. Men are their masters. Any master is always greater and more important than any servant or, in this case, any animal. You may dress up, clean, groom, and make them fragrant, but they would never never be at par with the status of man. While some men act like animals at times, nevertheless, human beings are still supreme over them
Before God, who do you say is more important, man or animal?
