Dedicating Ones Life

When I am on the elliptical machine at my fitness center, I have a choice of four large flat screens to watch. I use earphones and can flip to what ever screen I want. Last week I saw something that perplexes me . On one screen there came on a heart wrenching video from the Feed the Children organization. There were the usual sad photos and videos of children with distended stomachs with flies covering their faces. Then the lady comes on and says she had dedicated her life to providing food to these starving children. The request was for a $19.95 monthly donation. It would be enough to feed one child. A few minutes later, on another flat screen , came on disturbing photos of mangy dogs that were obviously starving. The narrator for the Humane Society said she had dedicated her life to making sure animals would not suffer. She asked for a nominal donation of $19.95 a month so that she could continue her work and save as many animals as possible. My question is , up until the time that there are no more hungry children, should the Humane society be asking for money for animals.
