The world's most ignored problem.

[basselope7]

Why is it you see all these groups against animal cruelty, but you never see a group against human cruelty?

It's very simple to form, but no one has done it yet.

Sure, there are groups against specific FORMS of human cruelty: guns, domestic violence, child abuse, etc. But never a group against just plain human cruelty.

It's prevalent all over the world, and yet no one has decided to stop it.

I say before we save the animals, we should learn to save ourselves and each other.

What do you think?

 

[Spinor]

I don't think a group would be necessary. There is already one called "Government"

They are just not doing their job right. :3

 

[Eon-Rider]

No, just... no. I really don't see how it's an ignored issue in the world.

 

[Fox♠]

Dude, there's a load of groups that cover different area of human cruelty, no one group could manage them all.

 

[Mitchman]

Your kidding me right? That is the least ignored thing right now and well yeah the government aint stepping up. Instead freaked out mothers and the like are only doing stuff.

 

[Metatron]

Erm...there are plenty of groups supporting human rights across the globe. o_o;

It's not an ignored issue. I mean, there are awful things happening in the world to others on a daily basis, but there are those who speak up against, erm..."human cruelty."

 

[Patchy]

Well, humans can fend for themselves. Animals can't. But yeah, there's a lot of groups against human cruelty, like ChildLine (don't know if thats worldwide though).

 

[~MasterMind~]

obviously they have one or two groups about this there just not that "famous"

 

[Aurafire]

You could actually argue that human "cruelty" is a problem that has gotten the most attention from governments all around the world. Million dollars and hours are spent helping those who are less fortunate than others. There are actually plenty of groups that work to counter-act those problems your cited.

It's not a matter of deciding to stop it...It's simply a matter of combating it the best we can.

 

[Patchy]

Well, actually, if you think about it, the governments are cruel in a way too, with the whole gay marriage thing.

But I guess thats off the point.

how did you forget them? :/

I think there are too many variations of human cruelty that a single group could manage them all. There could be something like a syndicate which could combine the forces of all the separate groups protecting humans, but a single group would have too much to cover. Nice idea, though ^^

 

[.inLOVE]

Godot is right. I think the government can handle it.

 

[Anxiety.]

To be honest, human cruelty isn't a massive problem, not on the scale of animal cruelty. Some animals are going extinct, humans aren't. And animals can't fend for themselves, when we can.

Anyway, most types of human cruelty has already got a group to stop it.

It's not ignored either.

That's what I thought.

How can someone not know about AI? It's one of the most publicised groups in the world...

 

[Neutrino]

Well i don't know what it is. What is AI?

I must say, your thoughts on this are quite interesting. But, in response to bolded part, I have to disagree. I think more and more animals are abused than humans are (hello, we're yet to become extinct), and we are quite overpopulated. Though I'm not saying people should be killed, it's just that the number of animals is decreasing bit by bit due to hunters/poachers, pollution, testing, etc. So I don't think we should be "saved" before them, nor should we be "saved" after them. All animals are just as important as we are. And, some people can be just as much as an animal as actual animals.

Anyways, we really don't need such a group. We already have the police to make sure the wrongdoers learn their lesson. And, like somebody mentioned, there is a government. And, I don't know if this was mentioned or not, but there is also the human rights group.

This is all my own opinion. Don't flame or de-rep me because you disagree with me. I could do the same with whoever I disagree with, but I won't because everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

All I know about them is they're against dungeons and torturing. None of the "publicity" ever reached me I suppose.

Would you please explain it to me?

(And might I remind you that there are still people out there who haven't heard of motor vehicles? In 2004 when the tsunami hit Asia, people flew helicopters over some of the remote islands... and the people on those islands were freaking out because they'd never seen anything like a helicopter in their lives. They didn't know what it was, and they were shooting bows and arrows at it. Not everybody has heard of everything.)

 

[Neutrino]

yeah, i haven't ehard of it bwefore. The onyl place ive ever ehard of any sort of 'AI', is from that film 'artificial inmtellegence'

Ever heard the saying "A nation can be judged by the way it treats its animals."? I believe that to be true.

The difference between humans and animals is that humans can speak up for themselves. They have a voice (most of them) if they see something that is wrong, they can stop it. If they're be treated wrong, they can speak up. Now, if they're kidnapped and have a gun at their head- that's a different story. But, for the most part, they do have that option. It's up to them rather or not they use it. As far as dogs, cats, wild animals, etc that are poached, abused, neglected and becoming extinct- they don't have a voice. So, they don't have the option of stopping what they're going through.

I'm all for human rights. I believe gays should be able to marry. (hey, if they wanna be miserable like the rest of us- that's on them) I believe in equality among the sexes, races, religions, etc. I believe we should be able to choose our religion. I think it's wrong that some countries have still have slave trades. But, there are groups supporting the earlier things and trying to prevent the latter. Ever seen those starving children commercial? The info-mercial about kids with cancer? There are "human rights" groups. It would be hard for one organization to manage everything, though.

FYI, did you know that The Humane Society (while I don't support them, I have to give them props here) also helps kids?

FYI, again, most "animal rights" groups don't do much to help animals, anyway. Have you read about PeTA's lawsuit? So, it's not like they have too much helping them out, either. Most of the better animal rights groups put welfare before rights- and they're lesser known. Like your local SPCA (not ASPCA ;]) or things such as.
