A friend brought a letter to my attention. It was on page 24 of the April 5th issue of NZ’s Rural News. The letter is about abortion and animal welfare.
Here’s a short extract from the letter :-
“… However, every time I read something about animal welfare … I find myself at odds with those who are so concerned about aborting calves yet we as a nation kill 18,000 children in their mothers wombs. …”
It has a similar ethic to Cyril Boynes’ Jr. letter that I posted back on April 9th. His letter was titled “If only the world cared as much about African children and families, as they do about dogs.”
So I’m left wondering; concerned about the direction we heading. How come we promote animal welfare highly (which is not bad of course); whilst we ignore 18,000 human abortions in New Zealand, and 100s of thousanads of unnecessary human deaths from malaria? It seems our values are being turned up side down.
