re: Why do people care more about pets than other humans

quote:

If your dog sees a bird’s nest he will go over there and kill every baby chick in the nest without thinking twice. Why don’t the chicks deserve love and protection? They are animals just like a dog and a cat. Why can they be slaughtered by a stupid dog and nobody even give it a second thought.

Spoiler alert: If you are an a-hole, your dog will be an a-hole.

You sound as though you have experience in this.
