What is lost in the do-gooding of so many self-important humanitarians like you is a disregard for anything not human. Dogs are such wonderful and loving creatures that I literally consider them saints on this earth. Yet muslim culture generally regards them as low, dirty and treats them horribly. That, and the vicious cruelty of halal slaughter is why I regard muslim culture negatively. Perhaps you "humanitarians" should consider the larger picture of life before automatically putting anything with two legs on a pedestal. Isaac Bashevis Singer once wrote: "To an animal, all humans are Nazis." You and your ilk are Nazis to me.
