Influencer and TikToker Kirby Johnson (@kirby_j) is facing backlash for stating she'd choose to save animals over humans. "Call me a devil, say I lack empathy if you want, but if there's a choice between helping a human and helping an animal – 110% of the time, I'm helping that animal," she explained, adding, "Unless it's, like, there's children involved or, like, a very old person."
