I realized something today...

My dogs have a better standard of living than 100's of millions, if not billions, of human beings on this planet. Not sure what that means, but something seems off.
 
That means people's priorities are fucked up when they put animal's life above a human being's life. PETA and go fuck themselves.
 
Actually now that I think about it I think their standard of living is better than mine. They have regular access to health care at least.

Yeah but a kid you can have sex with when they're older (ala Woody Allen). Can you do that with a dog?

Yes.
 
If your dog is not running on a treadmill generating electricity, you are not a slave driver.


bloody typo...
 
It's simple, actually. I give more of a shit about my (hypothetical) dog than about some poor bastard I don't even know half way across the globe. Always have, always will.

Hell, I KNOW my dogs live better than a lot of human beings..I don't give a shit about those other people; they're not my responsibility, I didn't take them to raise. I DO have an obligation to properly care for my pets. I accepted that responsibility when I ageed to let them live with me and run my house. At NO TIME have I accepted the responsibility for poor people who may be Ethiopians, Chinese, Kenyans, etc...they are someone elses problem...not mine. As far as I know, the dogs aren't running any "I am the fund manager for a Nigerian King who was deposed..." kinds of scams, making them preferable to anyone from Nigeria...😉
 
I care more about animals than humans. You could make the obvious claim that since humans are animals, caring about all animals versus just one specifically is clearly better, but that's splitting hairs. I like animals more than humans because animals don't commit arson. Animals will kill in the wild, they will rape, they will do vicious, depraved things to other animals (occasionally within their own species). But they don't start fires. Humans are the only animal that commits arson. You won't find kangaroos burning down churches or lighting each other on fire. That makes non-human animals better in my opinion.

OMG! I think you just figured out what makes humans unique! Quick, write up a paper and post it to Nature!
 
And many dogs in Egypt 5k years ago had a better standard of living than you have right now.


(I'm not sure if that's true but it sounds pretty good.)
