Do you think animals have a higher priority than humans?

I know there are trusts and funds for people in poverty, but they're not able to do enough, do you think the money donated to saving animals such as the rhino, panda etc. would be better utilized if donated to a fund for human lives. I mean, are animals more important than humans? would the world end if the panda or the rhino went extinct?

Arent we the most important species on the planet. Its not like we eat all the animals we save, so its not that we're trying to repopulate the food source so we wont starve.

doesnt this saying ring true

'save yourself or you wont be able to save others'

WHAT SHOULD COME FIRST, COMPASSION FOR HUMANS OR ANIMALS???

Preventing species from going extinct is pretty easy to defend for even purely selfish reasons. Dig this:

Some of our best stuff comes from nature. Penicillin, velcro, aspirin, etc, etc, etc. Think how different our world would be without any of these things. And we still have a lot to learn!

So here's the rub: any species is probably uniquely adapted to its environment. It can often do stuff that nothing else can. Without a doubt some of that stuff can be useful to us, but we'll never know whether the species is around to investigate.

We could let everything die off, sure. But what if rhinos had an enzyme that could cure cancer and we didn't know it (I've never HEARD of a rhino with a tumor...)? Sure, we might have save a few lives if the money spent saving rhinos was spent elsewhere, but it's not inconcievable that saving rhinos might save MILLIONS of lives (or save more money than they cost!).
