I hear comments such as, I care more about my dog than I do most people I know. Or I hear, how could anybody ever harm an animal. When hypothetically asked some people would choose to save their pet over their neighbor. You can watch on YouTube a video of a cat eating her kittens like nachos. Or find plenty stories of dogs eating their owners face off or mauling them. Cats and Dogs will kill basically anything they can for fun. But yet some people still place them equal or above other humans.



Is this just another sign of the downfall of humanity?

You care more about your family.

Pets are family.

It's not that hard.

Pets love unconditionally, typically love everyone, and tend to be lower maintenance.

A lot of people confuse the loyalty of a pet with the love of a person.

Your pet doesn't love you. They've just been trained to be loyal for food.

You think that is bad, I bet if you surveyed people anonymously and they were truthful, most would care more about their inanimate possessions (house, car, money) than the lives of random humans they don't know too.

Because most people are selfish narcissists.

For clarity people that care more about animals than other humans are the selfish narcissists.

Probably because humans are becoming worse to each other by the day, and pets are faithful to a fault.

Pets kinda have that children’s innocence going for them.

I’ve never had a dog come up and give me a bullshite story on why they needed my money, and then get aggressive when I didn’t give it to them.


I’ll feed a stray over a junkie any day

You can't use the most extreme examples and apply them to all pets. Most pets are innocent. We take them in as part of our families. They rely on us for everything. It's our duty to protect them.

People are stupid. Pets are animals.

Don’t say they’re family then when they die just bury them in the back yard and buy another one.

Pets are animals.

Because they're vulnerable, non-judgmental, loving, and not assholes.
