Dog rescues another dog

[Happy Panther]

Dogs are large rats with brains the size of walnuts.

It's neat that they elicit such emotion in we humans, and I myself have loved a dog or two.

But if I had to save either the best dog in the world or the dirtiest nastiest human on the planet, the human probably gets the life safer every time.

And don't even get me started on cats

A human's life IS worth a lot, considering one human will typically consume hundreds of cows, pigs and chickens in their lifetime.

I say save the dog. fug those who disagree with you.

Again, I hope you're a vegan making such a statement as that... If not, you are just as guilty...

Besides, if it wasn't for human consumption of said animals, their by products wouldn't be as readily available for pet foods...

I am just as guilty, only I wouldn't be butt hurt if you saved your dog over me.

I wouldn't though... just so you know...

I would do the humane thing 1st and hold the human heads under water so they wouldn't suffer and then bring the dog safely back to shore.

to each their own, this certainly isn't about changing your mind, but pointing out to others the absurdity that these people do exist.. (those who will save an animal before they save their own.)

but since you asked why would you do otherwise, because a human life is worth more than an animals.. simple really. just because a dog (for instance) has been bred to be your servant doesn't speak for anything really. you hold a higher value for what you get in return from something, while disregarding why they hold those attributes...

dogs have been bred to be loyal to their owners.. SLJ isn't far off by saying it's survival instinct as well. Have someone else feed your dog for 6 months, and you won't be #1 in his life anymore.. (yes, dogs love social interaction with humans, for the most part.. he'll still want to get pets)

putting more emphasis on a dog bred to show more affection, appreciation, dedication is the same condemnation you give other people.. you are being selfish to your own needs and leading the way of those people "in today's society"...

in fact, you're blinding yourself if you really believe everyone is not in fact affectionate to others.. that person you would let drowned to save a dog could be the leading charity worker of his/her office.. you're letting a small sample size dictate your feelings, when in fact, letting him drowned before that animal would be a travesty..

there are millions of examples why you are wrong, and making assumptions based on the few rather than the many would the the 1st I'd like to point out..

we aren't talking about scenarios.. we are talking about people who straight up will save a dog before they save a human...

someone forcing you to write an essay about why you disagree with me?

[bleys]

it's not about you... as I already stated, I feel compelled to let everyone else know why you're wrong.

but like my dog, thanks for laying down for me...

So you're just a dick then? I'll make note of it.

And no, I'm not some PETA nutjob, and no, my dogs aren't my 'servants.' What they are is family. The minute they walked through the door and realized that what I was giving them was a home/better life/etc., they became family.

Because I feel differently on a subject doesn't mean you're right and I'm wrong... That's the type of mentality that's stunted the growth of humanity. I don't agree with you on a subject, so I'm clearly 'absurd' and of less intelligence than you... God forbid someone has a differing opinion then you. Hopefully we'll all just 'lay down' so you can continue feeling like a bigger man. One whose life is apparently more important than a dogs.

my absurdity (as you call it) is hardly an absurdity at all.. if you said cannibalism is your preference and I said you were wrong, would I then be helping stunt the growth of humanity?

because you find a few human-like features in almost robot-like dogs and me disagreeing and calling you WRONG that humans are always worth saving over said dogs, is hardly an absurdity at all..

regarding your last post, forgive me for single handedly sending the human race on a downward spiral and setting such a bad example to animals who have been simply bred to wag their tails when we walk through the door and are just smart enough to know that who feeds them are worth serving..

on a serious note, if you said anything in the vicinity to "cool man, I hear ya, but this is how I feel" then I wouldn't have responded as I did... I guess it just so happens I am pretty good at being a dick myself..

the real absurdity is that you are carrying on with this conversation calling me a dick after your scholarly, high road response.. lol I was in just the mood this morning to go down this road.. honestly, it's nothing personal.

and now, I have to take my awesome, family friend on a walk.. he is smart enough to pester me until he gets what he wants by acting like a 2 year old.. I hope to god that a situation doesn't occur on this trip where he and a human are both in need at the same time..

[Crixtala]

Not sure how I've been a dick in any of this... You're the one that's felt the need to come after my OPINION and tell me that anyone that shares my thought process is absurd and wrong. I don't need you to share in my opinion or change your mind on the fact... That's why I've hardly continued to argue my stance on the situation.

As for the 'cool story bro' picture, I just thought it would be ironic, considering it's a picture of a dog. I was glad to leave the conversation at that, bit you continued down the road of telling me I'm wrong for holding an opinion. That's cool though... I know there's people out there that can't handle people thinking differently then them. Hopefully you're not a part of that crowd, but if so... It's whatever. The sun'll come up tomorrow.

Continue treating your pets like the robot posessions you think they are, and I'll keep treating my dogs like I think they are... Fellow animals in a crazy world. Just don't be mad when I save an animal who shares a roof with me over you, some stranger on the Internet. I wouldn't be if the roles were reversed.
