I don't believe that. Imagine if your sister drowned and you found out after that there was someone there who could have saved her but they decided to save their dog instead, would you think Oh I understand that, I would have done the same or would you be mad as hell?

Yes it absolutely is my opinion and I'd hope that most people would agree with me especially if one of my loved ones needed saving lol ........

The funny thing is most people who are barging on about animals lives being equally valuable to humans' are probably meat eaters.

In-group versus out-group.

Hypothetical for Niamh - a week before this scenario takes place there is a fire at your house and one of your children is trapped inside, The dog runs in and pulls him out. Does that change your decision?

What does this have to do with anything? It was the introduction of cooked meat into our diets that aided the growth of our brains. Meat has played a huge part in our evolution.

Wow... well I wasn't expecting that result.

I'd choose the person without a doubt.

I haven't voted in the poll because I don't take the view that my Dog is better than a human.
I would obviously try my total best to save anyone or any pet in a life threatening situation, in this hypothetical poser since it is specifically my pet at risk of losing its life then I would definitely set out to save him first.
Hopefully I may have a chance to save the person too but as Kizzy said earlier, I would have made my choice and would have to live with that.

I also know though that my Dog would likely be the one to get help for me if I was in difficulty.
I absolutely adore him and wouldn't let anyone hurt him, let alone leave him to die if I had a chance to save him myself.

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
