This is perverse

Sometimes the juxtaposition of headlines in a newsreader is just perverse. I found these next to each other:

Israelis work to save abandoned pets

MAALOT, Israel - A dozen youngsters carrying water and dog food ventured into the deserted streets of northern Israel, taking advantage of the nighttime lull, when Hezbollah usually stops firing rockets.

A government official says up to a few thousand pets may need to be fed or rescued, in part because hundreds of thousands of Israelis have fled northern Israel over the past three weeks.

Who gives a damn about a bunch of animals dying when there are tens of children dying everyday? Seriously, who comes first? I don't believe that there is time for this peice of news to circulate on any television!!!

Animals are also Gods creature the ask for nothing and bring out the best in people. I am sorry for all the Death on both sides of Conflict there would be fewer casualties if Hezbollah fight openly, instead of hiding and purposely using Lebanese as Shields. If you believe in a cause no matter if right or wrong you stand up openly and fight and not cowardly shoot behind innocents like Hezbollah
