I don't think the government has more sympathy towards animals. And I'm not even saying 'most' people. My hometown is a backwoods huntin-n-fishin town. Driving around in a pick-up truck with baseball bats, finding opossums to beat on back roads during the night is a hobby. Kids light stray cats on fire. So I can gather that most people don't put animals above people on the totem pole. But I feel like a lot of people look down on a homeless bum. You'll see a homeless guy sitting there and all he wants is pocket change but most people won't spare it. But if there was a cute cat sitting there and it looked like it needed help, I bet more people would be ready to help it out.
