What are your ideas for solutions around helping our generation's effort to end extreme poverty in the world?

I know that this will sound cruel to some people, but think about it: how many stray cats and dogs are put to sleep every year in this country? Millions, right? And how many cultures around the world consider cats and dogs to be okay to eat?

I think that if we were to send (healthy) strays that were going to be put down anyways to starving countries, we could solve a few problems at once: starving people would have a source of meat, and we wouldn't have the pet overpopulation problem. It might be hard to organize, but it would help a lot of people too.

It's not exactly an answer to poverty, but it would help a lot of people who either can't afford food or don't have any available.
