Why thank you good sir, even though you are not the most pleasant person, or the most emphatic, I would still save you over the dolphins, that is what being sentient is all about.

I never said that I would kill someone. I merely stated that I value relationships (at least good ones) over material possessions such as money. However, as Tyrant said, it depends on the individual. |

I wouldn't actually kill someone either, but if I still had them, I'd care about my 2 pets more than an average individual. |

I honestly don't care how my reply is in your view. But I'm serious about that post. |

Well fragillmus' quote was a bit drastic and something hard to morally weigh but don't tell me you'd more readily kill a human with a family than a dog with some pups |

What on Earth??? I realize your dog is of great value to you and what not but you'd rather kill a man with a family who genuinely strived to do good, was a law abiding citizen, organ donor, and volunteered his free time as a motivational speaker for those suffering with terminal illness before you killed your dog? Wow.......................I understand you love your dog but the humanity of it.................. |

IMO I think animals should be given certain unalienable rights and what not to prevent them from being abused but when it comes down to it I have to say I lean towards valuing human life a bit more. don't get me wrong I'd rather have every serial killer, oppressive dictator, or victoriously abusive husband killed instead of several hundred African wild dogs, but I can't be the judge of people. |

Ok, I agree that it should be based on an individual, but there are some nuts out there who don't care who the person is. PETA literally said they value lab rats over the millions of children with cancer, AIDS, etc. They don't care if animal experimentation will save human lives, the only species of animal they don't care about is Homo sapiens. And don't even get me started on that blasted Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. THEY truly are monsters. |
