People vs. Animals

This advertising campaign may draw attention to an important cause but it also qualifies for stupid comment of the day.
What a shame that Enable Scotland, a learning disabilities advocacy organization, should bring attention to its work at the expense of animals? There’s no competition between people and animals. Everyone who needs help deserves it. As the Scottish SPCA correctly states

Charities strive to be innovative in their fundraising methods but there is a danger that by doing so, they could harm the work of another charity. There are a lot of people charities who can apply for lottery funding but animal welfare charities are not eligible. We are only funded by the Scottish public who have extremely good hearts and many people are regular donors who also donate to people charities as well. Scotland is a big place with lots of problems so all areas need to be looked at.
