Animals vs humans round 2

[livingzuid]

I was enjoying our previous debate started by Fifi. Not sure if we were done!

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.

don't think I *said it wasn't!

Maryz you are entitled to your point and to tell others they wrong but calling someone pathetic is uncalled for just because their viewpoint is not yours.

"Seriously, fire is horrific. It's not the flames that do for you, it's the toxic gases that knock you out before you can get out."

Well obviously

To be fair if you do have DC but would still save a pet over someone elses child then never have a sleepover or at least let the parents know should a fire break out their kids are fucked

I tried googling for a human saving a pet rather than another human, but couldnt find anything. So perhaps, in reality it doesnt actually happen?

No. And I certainly didn't say so.

Being convinced they are right is part and parcel of all people who hold extreme views.

This thread is now more than a bit weird though!

And as I said if you cared to read the other thread went fine. Oh wait some of you weren't on it. What a surprise.

"if you're going to patronise me, can you serve up something better quality, and a bit less, erm, netmum? wink"

Hypocritical much

By the way, possible locked rooms were mentioned (you know, in the hypothetical situation) so your smoke alarms wouldn't be of much use. And if you think the (hypothetical) argument is "stupid" I wonder why you're here.

Do dogs have manners, ive heard it all now! Just you warn prospective playdates of your dog over other human policy, forewarned is forearmed after all

Lol Trish you are probably right! I said on the last thread that we had to leave halls in the middle of the night as students as there was a fire and none of us could get out fast enough!

And how patronising is, 'You're ignoring Jessie when shes trying to teach you about fire, waah waah' is thw thread 'I don't have a smoke alarm, am I BU or stupid?'
