Question: If you see an injured animal do you stop to help!? When you see an injured person do you stop to help!?
You'd be surprised how many will help an animal but turn away from the person in need!. Where do you stand on this topic!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah I stop, I could think of all sorts of stories to go with this question but it would bring us all down!.

Try a little kindness, as you do :)

I pick up hitch hikers, I help old people if they are struggling, a mother with crying babies hahahaha how can people not see need all around them!.
A few months ago a bunch of goats escaped through a fence, they were on part of the road, I had corralled them up with a long stick in one hand!. Car after car would stop look at me as I asked "would you please help me, these are not my goats, one more person & we can get them back through the fence" they just looked through me & kept driving!. It took me hours but I did it on my own, I should have kept a goat!.
If I left those animals on the road & a car crashed & people where injured because they swerved for a goat, I would feel responsible, to a degree anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would always stop to help the animal!.!. why!? Because there is a guarantee that they have done nothing wrong and are completely innocent!. I would think twice about stoping to help a person, because evil dwells inside humans, for all I know it could be somebody plotting to hurt me, taking advantage of my kindness!. It would take very good judgement and a lot of thinking to stop and help a human, but the animal is a no brainer, no animal deserves to be injured, and I'm always glad to help an innocent soul!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Honestly neither most of the time!. I am a safety first person!. I will gladly risk my life for those I love but for someone I don't know or an animal I'm not risking my life or my safety!. It is best to call someone that is trained both medically and on the safety side to deal with these situations in most cases!. I would stop if the person was injured to the extent of total helplessness but otherwise I would just call someone much better qualified to deal with the situation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You must live in a tough neighbourhood!.

Seriously though, I would sopt to help either!. It is the right thing to do!. I just do not understand the mentality of people who look the other way when a person or animal needs help!. I wonder how they feel when they need help themselves!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"a man will stand up for himself, but a real man will stand up for those who can't" where is that from!? top quote!. i'd help the person!. it depends with the animal!. once they get hurt a certain amount your petty much better off shooting them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would help all, without question!.

As empathetic, intelligent, human beings!.!.!. we are ethically obligated to help!. Putting ourselves on the line for others, for no personal gain, is the only thing that sets us apart from animalsWww@QuestionHome@Com

Stop to help both!. I consider it my duty as a human being to help all I can!. "A man will stand up for himself, but a real man will stand up for those who cant!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with Toadstool but my Christian nature would come into play and my actions would reflect that once I have determined that it would be safe for me to help them!.
