Yeah, its very sad indeed, but you gotta understand this is the only way they know to survive.  Matthew 5:5 says, "You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought."  It challenges us that our self-worth doesn't base on our looks, our possession, or our status in the society; things/circumstances that will change or can be taken away.  God looks much deeper within, He looks into our hearts, when most people look just on the outside, but real beauty comes from inside out.
