I'd sue just to make a point. How lax, that's the equivalent (to me at least) of killing your baby in daycare. Pets are family, some of the above comments seem as if they aren't from loving pet owners. =(
Pets are all fine and dandy. I hate dogs, but whatever. They are still someones pet.
However, you cannot equate a dog or any other pet to the life of a human. Not even close.
I disagree. I don't value an average humans life more than my own pet.
I do value a family members life more though, I will say.
If you don't value an average humans life more than your pet, then I value you life at about that of an ant now.
Decision:
Someone shoots your dog in the head, or some random average guy stranger in the head?
You'd scream "SAVE MY DOG!"?
Oh what a wonderful human being you are.
:roll:
Your personal attacks at the value of my life are pretty infantile, so I should value some person above a pet that I've known for, perhaps a decade, loved, taken care of, fed and live with, who shows me affection every day and asks for nothing in return?
I'm sorry you've never made any emotional attachment with a non-human strong enough to understand.
I care for my pets. They are members of my family, and I'd protect them at all costs.
I'm not attacking you.
I have certainly had strong bonds with pets and would do whatever I could to protect them. But to value animal life above human life makes no sense.
I don't understand how, in that hypothetical situation, any human could honestly say they'd take the animal and let the human be killed. Obviously it's not likely to happen, but as an illustration - well.....
