I DO in fact spend my money and time working with the homeless and others in need. Your argument that one should do X for 24/7 if you're advocating that one social value should be encouraged over another is trying to over-simply to ridiculousness that point and you know it.
My point is that shouldn't we value human life over animal life. You'll be surprised how many people wouldn't and won't. And that is what is MOST frightening.
A study was recently done that asked "If you could go into a burning building and could either save your pet or a perfect stranger - which would you save". Almost 50% answered they would save their pet. THAT is what horrifies me - that someday I might die because people cared more about some animal than a person in need. I certainly don't want to live in a world where that's the case - and it scares me that anyone would advocate for that kind of attitude. Think of what would happen if the whole society believed that?

And THAT madmolecule - is my point

Medically - it's an interesting accomplishment.

Morally - it's a big step back.

Honestly, how can you ever justify spending this kind of money on an animal when people are dying around the world and haiti is in the shape it's in. It's a sad commentary on our social values, and a very frightening spectre of things to come, when we value animals more than people.
