A responsible act of kindness should be fine, not fined.

Here's what I think on Radio DJs made tasteless remark on cats:

One does not joke about the sufferings of the others, whether humans or animals. I do not find the DJs' comments at all funny. In fact, I think the "jokes" were distasteful, uneducated and reflects the lack of empathy and basic respect for other lives. Very appalled, very disgusted.

What is wrong with kindness for the homeless animals? Kindness and benevolence are open to all, not just human beings. Is there such thing as "selective kindness"?

If I were to give money to a homeless human begger so he could buy food to fill his empty stomach, should I be fined and ridiculed? I cannot possibly be giving money to a cat, can I? If cats know how to use the money to buy food, then perhaps, we run the risk of being sent to Peru instead.

A responsible act of kindness should be fine, not fined.

Kindness begets kindness... think people have forgotten this phrase. Many of our human race think we are supreme beings of this earth and so, we can trample on so-called "lesser" beings. What fools they are!
