Not a knock on animals, just my opinion.
Same goes for volunteering my time. Ever since secondary school when I watched a documentary showing how many homeless people have mental disorders and other severe problems, they deserve my time more.

word, but offer your time
The homeless is a touchy subject... so many consider them worthless or garbage. Sure, some are just that, but the majority of people homeless got put there by other wrong doings. Most are mental. Some disabled. Its not that they just one day say hey I give up. Im going to beg now and starve daily.
Most often they either broke their back or lost their job or dont have the mental capacity to maintain a proper life and home.
Give a meal to these people when you can. You wont regret it.
