Yes you're quite right, the croc wins.

I'd say as a whole that all life is as valuable as each other,I mean what makes us so special?We are just animals.But i am human so i am biased and i value human life more because of this.Although there are some humans whos life i value much less than an animal.Like ISIS members for example,I value any animal or plants life more than 'people' like that.
Imo there is no definitive answer for this question.Too many variables.

If my dog and a stranger were drowning I would run to my dog first.
If it was a strange dog and a human I would run to the human first though.

[Kizzy]

My dog is my family, he's like an adopted child to me and I have a bond with him.

[Iceman]

Humans first. Animals second.

I think what we have learned from this thread is:

Cats are evil and must, at all costs, be destroyed.

They are the ISIS of the animal world

I'd value my pets over strangers tbh.

For the first time ever, I agree with LT!

Humans are simply animals that have evolved in a different way. Forget the "macro" and "micro" evolution 'differences' taught in RE, it's all the same thing. We are animals therefore equal to them, imo.

in the grand scheme of things I don't think we're more important than animals but as a human I value humans more than animals. In the grand scheme of things I don't think we're important at all

This for me too.

Not intrinsically or inherently no, humans are very self-centred and up ourselves when it comes to thinking we're above everyone and everything as a species. And I say this as someone that really isn't fussed about animals at all (well, apart from cats).

But looking out for your own? Yeah, I get that, so to humans other human life is more important than an animals, but objectively it isn't. If that makes sense...

It does.That's how i think of it too.
This question i think has a different answer depending on wether you look at it completely objectively or through our human eyes.Imo.

I would always save the human if it came to it. Humans have legitimate family bonds, I know some animals do but not in this country so if it came down to a human v animal I would have to save the human for the sake of the parents, children. I couldn't forgive myself if I save an animal and left a child without a parent or parent without a child. So for that reason I would hold human life as more important than animals.

I love animals though.

This exactly and I adore my pets. I dont think that makes me less of an animal lover either
