for all of those who have said humans and animals are all equal, tell me do you cry or feel sad whenever you smack a fly or mosquito, cause you'd probably cry if you killed a human, just cuz he/she annoyed you.
That is an irrelevant situation as mosquitos & flys are a danger to your health.
serioursly a normal fly is by no means a danger, it annoys you that's all, mosquitos might make you itch a bit, but uæess they carry malaria arent dangerous. So whack a fly is like killing a human if animals and humans are equal, because truth is no one sees flies as equals, despite what you say.
Still, they can carry danger and tell me, if you saw something small that could harm you as they could carry diseases what would you do? I'd whack it away.
You're not seriously trying to tell me you kill normal flies, because they have a tiny chance of carrying diseases most people kill them simply because they are annoying, also if a sick guy came over and sat next to you, would you kill him? I sure as hell wouldn't.
Flies throw up and shit everywhere they land. Nuff said. while that is kind of true (at least the vomiting part) i still doubt you would kill a human who did that, you may beat him up pretty badly, but not kill him.

If there were no laws............. . most People would most likely give out some beating or call the cops, but not kill the poor guy. Anyways my point is we tend to be more ashamed of killing our own species than other species, and do definitely not think of all animals as the same.

"...all other animals" do not care about their own species. If your hypothetical mother rhino saw a lion attacking another rhino's calf I very much doubt if she would intervene. Solitary animals care about themselves, social ones extend that care to their family/pack/herd members, none give a stuff about their species as a whole.

What if the 1,000 dolphins you would be willing to murder belonged to an endangered species and amounted to 90% of the total world population?

Animals have just as much right to be on the planet as us,and also look at the damage we do to everything!!

We are equal. We complain about animals eating their crops, yet we steal their land and destroy their nests, we made many animals extinct already for no reason other than unneeded meat and sport. Silk worms have given us silk and the Chinese repay them by cooking and eating them, bees give us honey and we burn their hives and kill their relatives.
Don't even get me started on the people who kill animals (Leopards, Minks, Wolves, Jaguars) for their fur...

What if the 1,000 dolphins you would be willing to murder belonged to an endangered species and amounted to 90% of the total world population? I would, of course, still kill the dolphins. I doubt anyone on this forum would actually chose to kill another human being instead of some dolphins, if yo do, you got some evolving left to do.... Everyone who says they respect animals just as much as people is either full of shit or just saying it for shock value.
I wouldn't be happy about killing the dolphins, but I would do it to save a human life.
