I know this is going to sound very callous, but I care more about a stray dog than I do about some of the children (& adults) in 3rd World countries.
These are children of people who hate us. We Americans have been so giving of our money & resources to help those who, when they get older, basically spit in our faces by burning American flags & flying jets into buildings.
While I don't wish ill on anyone, I have learned to tune out the plight of these children & families. Let their own governments take care of it. Shows how much, anyway, their own governments care about them -- or families, for that matter. Children are blithely peddled like cigarettes -- sold into prostitution or slavery, beaten mercilessly.
A friend of mine, a social worker, said you can tell a society by how it treats its weakest members. If the children reflect their society, I don't want anything to do with it. Of course, they'll blame us later for the murderous adults they become.
In all fairness, the West once treated its kids badly too. Kids working in mines, factories, living on streets, etc ..

The kids are just as innocent as the dogs. The adults, however, do indeed deserve blame.
