I agree with Pouncer's answer. I'd add that people are more dangerous than animals, in that a person living on the street might have any number of pyschological or social problems that could cause him to pose a threat to the safety of me and my loved ones in a way that a stray dog or cat could never do. So for that reason, I'd have to exercise more caution with a person than an animal. Sad, but true.

The cat I have now is one that was a stray who wondered into our house and decided she would stay. That was 16 years ago and she's been a joy ever since. She's one spoiled kitty and a princess beyond all belief.

I agree with Pouncer and wwolfe. Animals can't help themselves. I would do what I could for a person but usually you don't have to find a home for them or worry about where they're going to end up.

I knew a girl who was crazy about animals. She saw a stray dog by the side of the road. She stopped, grabbed the dog and and checked the collar. She then forced the dog into her car and drove the dog to his home; in the meantime, the dog threw up in her car. She returned the dog to the owner who was thrilled to have the dog back. Apparently the dog got out while they were repairing the fence. The interesting part of this -- the dog was a pit bull and my friend didn't have a clue.
