"it's up to their parents, society and goverment" like it's up to the dog owner to take responsibilty of their dog. but walking away from it when it is tied to a tree is wrong.

and for the last time you can avoid giving money to dictators by giving to the right aid charities. and fair trade gives money straight to the farmers. and removing tarrifs and subsidies would give money right to the farmers. so yeah lots and lots of stuff to do.

i personally refuse to buy western goods and fair trade whenever possible. and i feel good about it. it hurts noone. it helps the poor folk. and so everyone is happy even the western farmers who get the subsidies if i buy the food or not.
