Dog rescues another dog

[Darth Urious]

arguing with u is like beating your head into a wall. u will never win however hard u try.

If you had a valid argument, I'd concede... But, I'm sorry, domesticated animals aren't equal to humans as far as I am concerned... I only said "AT BEST" because I concede that some people such as you and TheRealDeal feel so passionately about your own...

[The Saltman]

If lets say u came over to my house and I told my dog to sit instead of jumping all over u would u take offense to that?

[Darth Urious]

...and don't get me wrong, saying they aren't equal is not advocating anyone ever mistreating an animal... That is where I agree that they are equal to humans too, as we don't have the right to mistreat/dishonor any other living animal... big or small...

[TheRealDeal]

...and if we weren't important on a grand scale of things, then why do we basically sit atop the food chain with our technology, and have the sole ability to destroy the entire planet, and everything on it...

The only thing bigger than us is the rest of the universe and the various objects in it that have the shared ability to destroy all life on the planet... Even that hasn't happened in the history of our planet... but we as humans could do it...

You really think that there isn't a species in this whole universe that is bigger than us? That's very simple minded. Even some of the greatest minds on the planet have come out and said it's not only likely that there is life, but that the life is far more advanced than ours and would likely wipe us out.

Still feel high and mighty?

I already said humans are more advanced technologically than dogs but that doesn't make us better creatures. In fact, many would argue that technology has made us shittier creatures but to each his own.

You all just better hope it's not me that has to make the decision to save your life of my stupid pet's life because I don't know any of you in real life and me and my dogs are homies.

I would just be offended because you have basically forced the dog to do something that is unnatural to him...

...plus I have allergies, so you should just put it outside when I get there...

[The Saltman]

you're too much work.

LOL you talking about unnatural things that we force dogs do. Look around at your life, tell me how many things you do that are natural.

Edit:

You sh*t in a bowl, you have food mass produced and handed to you by someone in a funny hat, you get around by driving something that destroys the planet you live on, you are in a monogamous relationship, you probably talk to more people online than you do in real life but he's the one doing something unnaturally.

I was including the possibility of other species when I said "the rest of the universe"...

In our known universe, humans are evolutionary superior to all life forms, and that can be demonstrated by our ability to destroy them all with the flip of some switches...

You could MAYBE argue that some of the microbial things that would survive nuclear fallout or the absolute worst conditions like surviving in a sulphur rich environment are more dominant, in that they can survive/withstand a lot... but I don't expect any of them to domesticate us any time soon...

I agree that we are similar in that stance, but it is other humans/ourselves that lead us to do those things unnaturally...

Again, how does being able to destroy life make you a better creature than something that would never even have that thought?

[The Saltman]

well I disagree with that. Dogs destroy life if they ever had a chance to go get a squirrel, bird, ets.

Mine have chased bunnies and squirrels but never caught them even though they are faster than hell. I'm not sure what they would do if they did catch one but I was talking about destroying the planet, not any single life.

gotcha

Some human beings are poo. They're either poor lazy bastards that want the world to take care of them, or Darwinian rich assholes who will cut your throat for the next thing they want that they don't have.

Dogs are awesome unless they are owned by one of the two aforementioned people. And even when they are it's not their fault.
