Do you believe animals are morally equal to humans? If so, why do you think so? Personal morals, feelings, opinions, and ethics are allowed.

Yes,they were here long before us so we have no right to erase their habitat etc. to fuel our own needs. |

We are animals, so are we equal to ourselves? Yes.

To be honest, I personally do not think animals are equal to us because I value my own species more. Yes I know we are animals too. But think about it, other animals don't care about us do they? If a mother rhinoceros saw that a human baby and her own baby was being attacked by a lion, who do think she's going to save? Her own offspring of course. Hopefully someone will save the human baby too. It's not speciesism, it's just that we care about our own species more than others, just like all other animals. It's just something in us humans that hasn't changed since we were just Australopithecus. I'm not saying you shouldn't mind other species. (You should care for them too). I'm saying there's nothing wrong with valuing your own species the most.

Not even close, I would slaughter a 1,000 dolphins before killing a single human. |

You do realize that a dolphin is about as intelligent as young children right? From the average persons perspective I don't see why you deem humans so much higher in value than humans when they are almost as intelligent as us. Personally I believe that it be incredibly arrogant for mere mortals to judge the value of another living creature, and with the exception of family members,close friends, pets, and other people that positively effect my life; animals are all equal in value. |

In your posts you are taking an us and them approach. There is nothing unique about humans other than our large brains. We are just as important as any other animal. I would save a human before I saved a mouse, but that is merely preservation of species, something ingrained in us through evolution over the course of millions of years. |

I think you would be doing the world a favour if you slaughterd 1,000 humans instead, hell make in a million!! not that would even put a dent into the population, humans are rabbits!!! |
