Do the English love pets more than they love children?
This is quite thoughtful, making due allowance for the source:

At one time, a pair of English spinsters ran a retirement home for neglected. ill-used and aged donkeys in Tunisia.
There's a Belgian (NOT English) woman whose life's work is feeding and ministering to the needs of pussycats in a temple not far from Siem Reap.
When Laika was shot into space (a one-way trip for her, alas) scores of soppy Brits informed the Soviet Embassy in London that they's willingly
go themselves in order to spare an animal suffering.
Those with strong stomachs and good bladder control can go to YOUTUBE and find the "Brass Eye" spoof 'ANIMALS' - it includes a heartrending
(and totally fictitious) on-the-spot / moment-by-moment account of an elephant which has managed get its trunk wedged up its rectum ...

Meanwhile, in the Antipodes there were some Kiwis (briefly) bewailing the fate of some veal and stewing steak on the hoof ...

I believe it was W.C. Fields who said, " anyone who hates dogs and little children can't be all bad."
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

I don't see why the fucking English are being singled out here. All sorts of people from all around the world prefer their pets to other humans.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Not thoughtful at all. It's a lazy article based on nothing much. Why does love for animals prove unlove for children ?This is quite thoughtful, making due allowance for the source:

And can't she even tell when John Cleese is taking the piss ? OMG, he's insulting women AND children. How shocking. Are we becoming PC now, BOM ?
Indeed, look no further than comments made the other day by John Cleese who proclaimed that children “are the cause of most of the misery in the world.”
He added: “They cost you a fortune, you worry yourself sick and then they grow up like their mothers. Cats are the answer. You can feed them twice a day.”

My mother refuses to visit me here as she “doesn’t want to see dogs suffering” , whatever the fuck tat means, consequently I have not seen her in years. So the answer to the question is YES
