I don't kill any animals, unlike some of the murdering bastards in this thread. I try to catch and release everything that enters my domain.

I can't stand bees and wasps, and I even go out of my way trying to release them back into the wild.

Roam free, my pretties.

Like I said, we're equal but I'd still save the human. It wouldn't feel right to save an animal. I know that's contradictory but that's the issue here. We are equal but there's just something ingrained in us that makes the large majority want to save our own. I guess that's all it is...an inherent loyalty to our kind.

But clearly we do accept that there is hierarchy in the animal world, even if you take humans out of it we value the lives of some animals over others and do give cats and dog a much superior position than spiders or ants or also the likes of pigs and cows. I don't think we are equal because there's such huge biological, genetic, physical, and intellectual difference across all the different species

I feed baby mice to my snake but I think that's okay

I don't really care for animals but I would probably save ones life at any time but to me humans are more important so if saving its life is at the expense of another human they bye to my pet.

Ugh we had a snake in our year 3 class and we watched our teacher feed it mice :laugh:

Oh and Salman that point is idiotic tbh, its different eating meat, as you dont have an emotional atttachment to that animal you're consuming, plus the animals you are eating most likely wont be the type of domesticated pets you own, so its different

I was replying to people who were using the excuse that animal lives are as valuable as humans'. Emotional attachment is a separate reason I wasn't addressing that

I'd save my dog and not feel any guilt whatsoever
