I'm comparing private charity to private charity. I would be really shocked if private charity to support children was anywhere close to private charity to support animals.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And the Humane Society isn't the only one protecting animals. I don't think it's possible to sum up the differences between treatment of children and animals offhand.

But they are far from the only two. What if there are 500 charities for kids and 5 for animals? Why should they be dollar for dollar comparable?

Also I was looking specifically at cruelty. But OK - here is a general report on giving and philanthropy. 6% for "your serices" 8% for various animal support and services.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&ved=0CGcQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bc.edu%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Ffiles%2Fresearch_sites%2Fcwp%2Fpdf%2FCharitable.pdf&ei=ZUodUtf-O4brigKc64CAAw&usg=AFQjCNGUph00UGNW7bATC9qaDo27acz1-w&sig2=LjKzOHiflfVP2ibNl28oIQ

Typo, that link doesn't work.

Even on charities alone - and I do take some issue with that - charities serving children are far more differentiated. It's not an easy comparison. The SPCAs also dwarf any others in that arena, which I don't know is true of CDF. I get the point you're trying to make but I don't think the numbers hold up, and it's kind of a cheap shot.

OK, the link now works. Again this second source compares all charities within categories. Also my main point is I think in general we do have in our societies more passion in support of animals than passion in support of people.
And it is not that i don't think animals deserve some passion. But I really do think there are screwed up priorities on this.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Typo, I'm not seeing that. The pie chart breakdown records 6% for youth development, but animal welfare isn't split out. It's included with the environment; the total category gets 3%.
I'd assume that some proportion of the money otherwise categorised (with the exception of adult recreation and maybe arts, culture and humanities) goes to help children too, but I don't know how to break that out. Probably more importantly, I don't think these figures can be interpreted independently of an assessment of, first, how much public money goes to both goals; and second, how 'big' those problems are (financially) to begin with.
My gut feeling is that America spends substantially more on disadvantaged children than on disadvantaged animals, but the amount still falls well short of what's needed. I put in substantial research to reach this conclusion, by watching season 4 of The Wire.
