This woman is right on --it's disgraceful to spend so much money to save a DOG, when that money could have been better spent to help those in West Africa -- HUMANS who are dying!
Euthanize the damned dog -- then the thousands of dollars that were wasted on quaratining it and testing could have been used to treat people in Africa who desperately need are help.
People come first before animals!

Outpouring of support should go to Ebola victims, not nurse's dog
Forget the dog, focus on the victims.

Please believe me, I love my two dogs, Sadie and Chauncey. They light-up my family’s life every day.
But if I get Ebola -- or any other ravaging, disastrous, and ultimately headline-grabbing illness -- please, please don’t worry about my dogs.

On the other hand, when Dallas nurse Nina Pham contracted Ebola, Americans rushed to act, setting up a donation fund and a new health partnership in Dallas -- not for Pham, but for “Bentley,” her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

To some this is a sign of our tenderness, of America’s big heart. But to me it betrays something darker about ourselves: our blindness to the suffering of poor people, far away, our heliocentric ego and our seeming inability to prioritize the health of human beings in West Africa, in true danger of losing their families and villages to this scourge, over the health of one American patient’s dog.
