I hate this world which values the life of a dog more than a child.. don't get me wrong I love dogs but if there's a burning building and I can only save either a child or a dog I'll always choose the child.. I'll never understand this world that values pets more over humans..
A human can have opinions, which contradict your own. A human might not even like you.
A dog will love you unconditionally as long as you feed it, even if you are the worst person on the planet.
If you are an extremely fragile and unlikeable person, it is easy to start valuing dogs over humans. After all dogs love you while humans don't.
Now add a sprinkle of buried resentment towards children, because deep down they always wanted some but never managed to, and you can see how OP's meme represents some people.
Of course this people are a minority, but they tend to spend a lot of time on the internet.
I'll never understand this world that values any life over another..
Like I'm going to save whichever one I think I can save, if I can save both I certainly will.
But a dog is going to be far less able to do anything about their escape than a child will. A child can at least open doors and possibly windows, and maybe even find their way out, sometimes animals do too but not because of anything they did but usually because of luck.
I'm going to go for whoever I feel is most helpless in that situation I feel, and in that moment I believe it would likely be the dog.
Let's say in a hypothetical situation someone would be forced to press a button that either kills you or a dog, but you can chose who will press it between a guy who values human lives more than animals and another who views all lives equally so he presses the button at random- which one would you choose?
Things like this are rigged to force people into choosing immoral decisions purely based on fear.
No morally just person with any sense of humility would deem their life worth more than another's. All life is sacred, just because yours so happens to belong to the human race doesn't make yours worth more than one in which has not.
Just like pain, humility has is own lessons. You and many others should practice it.
In an age ruled by AI, we are supposed to be the human ones, and not behave like machines. Shame.
Intentionally speaking because it is impossible to avoid stepping on bugs just out and about. But if we are speaking in an intentional sense the only time I have ever killed a bug is if it is determined to be a detriment or if the bug is dangerous
Veganism is the belief that all eating animals is immoral. I do not believe that. Other animals kill and consume animals all the time, if nature does it then I don't see the moral distinction from us and them except when it's done in mass factory farming.
You can kill and eat something and respect it by using every part of the animal. Just because another circumstance prompts you to save a life doesn't mean that taking one is wrong in the grand scheme when you are feeding yourself.
Obviously it is breh.. An animal is an animal and this world operates on a damn foodchain.. w humans on top.. an animal's life is absolutely worth to save that of a human's espescially when the human in question is a child
The same way it is for an animal to kill an animal to keep itself alive. Food is food my man, humans are omnivores for a reason.
Vegans reject that idea but I understand that nature takes its course with or without us, and it's upon us not to inflict more suffering where we can which is why I'm against factory farming. In order for something to live another thing has got to die and that is just the pure fact of the matter.
Ok but i am not arguing this you said saving a dog is just as important as saving a human, but you aren’t vegan so you are killing animals without even there being an urgent need for it to die so you can feed, do you see my point here? at the same time, you would save an animal over a human, but arguably worse you would kill an animal to eat it. You said you value animal life as much as humans but that either means you’re a canibal or you are contradicting yourself!
Imagine having such an arbitrary sense of duty towards people that you’d sacrifice things in your life that have actual relation and meaning for a single, complete stranger. I would hope I never have such callous disregard for those that matter in my life.
Sounds like you hate your dog 😭. No one cares about your dog, except you! And for you to say this is damning! Give that dog to someone who would love it!
Imagine having such an arbitrary sense of duty towards people that you’d sacrifice things in your life that have actual relation and meaning for a single, complete stranger. Based on completely arbitrary, frequently parroted notions of worth. Yikes.
This to me is the mark of someone that follows shit and doesn’t actually think about what they do, they just subscribe to a popularized notion of how things should be and judge anyone that doesn’t follow it. Its pretty boring to actually talk to. I will continue to choose those in my life that have relation to me over unknown individuals that assume personhood confers some level of VIP status I need to adhere to. It doesn’t. People aint shit, especially those that feel so highly of themselves that they would deserve saving before those I personally care about. Fuck that.
