Put a bit simply, it is the principle that medical resources are to be spent saving the most lives. This can mean allowing some people to die, but this is justified because saving more lives is better than saving fewer lives.”  Take from http://aphilosopher.wordpress.com/2008/12/24/peta-vicks-pits/ [...] [...] Balancing Ideal vs. Real “This approach does match the commonly accepted principle of triage.

What about those poor slimy toads? They need love too.. don't they? What makes a furry animal like a dog or cat "better" than a salamander? is that not discrimination? ... and which is more 'sacred'? the life of a human or the life of an animal? If we were to take all the money being spent on dogs and cats and divert it to starving humans would the world not be a better place? .. Just a thought..... My question is.. where does it end?
