I have difficulty with this concept, but then, I'm not a pet person. I just cannot grasp the idea that someone would put the welfare of any animal above the welfare of even an unknown person.

Did you see the film 'Sophie's Choice'?
No, I've never seen it. But people, both men and women, have been facing such choices since the dawn of humanity. It's a choice I wouldn't want to have to make myself. But we're not talking about choosing between two of your children, but between a child, or any person really, and an animal! One shouldn't even have to think about it.
