Animals vs humans

[fifi669]

AIBU to think if faced with choosing a pet over a human (even if a stranger), you should choose the human?

The idea was brought up in another thread and put in life or death situation. Building on fire contains your pet and a stranger. You could only save one, who would it be?

I had a dog, Ralph, I cried my heart out when he died 3 years ago. The only dog I wasn't scared of! But I can't imagine leaving a person to die instead, no matter how my heart would break.

Someone would save Jimmy Saville!! They question our morals but they would save that vile corpse! Tut people! Just..... TUT!!!

[PresidentServalan]

Yes Ivy because apparently we all have mental health issues.....

[FortyDoorsToNowhere]

Clothes on dogs is just wrong.

[Ivyfairy]

Do the dog savers dress up their dogs in those little dress-up outfits you can buy? I'm interested and suspecting yes

[Spider7]

LOL Princess! They do so confirm my thoughts on this also. There do be nice people here, but I do hope they (you) would not mind me choosing my boy. I'm thinking you wouldn't. I would come back for you nice ones tho :-) cos this is hypothetical I have special mind powers that tell me who is naughty & nice..... See.... (Whispers) Im really Santa! :-D

[livingzuid]

I take your point Trish. We agree to differ although I can see your point. Ty for not making insults in the process :)

Curlew - I have bipolar disorder. So yes I find your comments on mental health seriously below the belt.

[PrincessFlirtyPants]

Yes, the world needs more paedophiles less dogs on an adventure...

I can't believe this thread has nearly reached capacity. All because me and someone else made a throwaway comment on another thread. I have loved it. Will we continue it?

[Ivyfairy]

"then maybe you need to look at your own state of mind grin"

I thought mental health insults and insinuations were out of bounds. They ought to be.

[livingzuid]

Lol at your earlier post urgent. Jimmy Savville over lassie!!

[PresidentServalan]

Actually curlew I think you should stop making comments about people's mental health - and you are hardly promoting the 'pro human' cause

[Spider7]

Are you a child curlew? For indeed I would merrily sacrifice you for a wasp! Woof, woof, grrrr! Man I need a good belly rub right now!

[trish5000]

I could not possibly just stand there and watch someone burn. I just couldnt. I would hope however that they learned something from it. Hate doesnt conquer anything.

[Writerwannabe83]

curlew - I think you need to realise that many posters on here are just taking the p*ss and having a laugh

If you genuinely believe that someone would choose to rescue a wasp over saving thre life of a child then maybe you need to look at your own state of mind

[Ivyfairy]

"Am I not allowed to question the mental health of a person who seriously says they would save a wasp before a child? Really?"

I think most people would think something not quite right about that.

[PrincessFlirtyPants]

Spider for fear that the stranger could be one the wankers posters on this thread I'm pretty happy I'd be saving my dog.

[Spikeytree]

You can do what you want, of course, I'd just hope that you wouldn't throw mental illness out as an insult.

[PresidentServalan]

Actually I WAS taking the piss - Curlew asked a question which I assumed wasn't serious, I was being sarcastic.

[Spider7]

Living.... Lol. Princess.... blowing raspberry at you! Still, it is quite funny prodding zealots! They do so love to reveal the ugliness of humans & therefore highlight the gorgeousness of my boy, so all's forgiven. ;-)

[PrincessFlirtyPants]

"Project my emotions"

FFS, I can't even be bothered to respond that. Enjoy your evening Ivy

[curlew]

"Seriously, STOP the mental health slurs. Say you think it is wrong, don't question people's sanity."

Am I not allowed to question the mental health of a person who seriously says they would save a wasp before a child? Really?

[livingzuid]

Ty princess and spider. It was terrible. She recovered but was never quite the same despite our best efforts to not project. We moved us all to NZ where she had a much better life for the end of her days. And yes I actually moved halfway round the world to give my do and family a nicer life than the one we had. Also exH was a kiwi which helped!

If I could have done serious physical violence to those people I would have.

And yes a puppy in a crate is just as vulnerable!

Are we allowed to continue on another thread this is fun :)

[2tiredtoScare]

Surely no one would save a dog over their own DC

[Ivyfairy]

I know what you said, thank you, and I refer you back to what I said.

And in the absence of the luffliness and fluffiness it's probably more difficult for you to project your emotions onto them
