Save the Whales

A killer whale beached someplace and dozens of people rushed to keep it wet and cool until high tide came in to allow it to swim back to the open ocean. I wonder how many of these nature lovers have lent a hand to the persecuted Christians of the Middle East. Do you think many of the orca rescuers have raised a finger to help the Yazidis being enslaved or slaughtered by the Islamic State? I wonder how many of the animal rights advocates have demanded an end to genital mutilation of women in the Muslim world? Do you think many of the folks launching campaigns for animal rights are equally adamant in their defense of human rights? The creatures the Lord gave us dominion over are important but not as important as the welfare and freedom of the human race.
