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.

Backonly - what do you want, a medal? To be told you're such a wonderful person?

Phew Back

[BackOnlyBriefly]

I'm not a wonderful person. Just a normal human being. There seem to be some people here who don't quite qualify.

[DiseasesOfTheSheep]

Personally I'd be more inclined to hold the door shut if it was someone who thought caring about their pet enough to save it in a high stress situation was so unthinkably wrong they would lock them in to burn...

Which is circular logic, anyway...

It's not really being wonderful or heroic. It's just what a decent person would consider the right thing to do was.

[DiseasesOfTheSheep]

I don't think it's particularly decent or right to consider holding the door shut on someone just because their moral compass doesn't coincide with your own, pianodoodle

[candycoatedwaterdrops]

Ahh so you guys want to be called decent and right. Got it!

[candycoatedwaterdrops]

Not normal???? Ugh, what a cunty thing to say!

[UrgentNews]

Ivyfairy what I was saying is that all 'dog savers' aren't necessarily zealots and that some 'human savers' are.

[candycoatedwaterdrops]

Decent and right is an opinion. Also, mental health slurs are not decent or right! My god, there are some vile excuses for human beings on here.

She didn't say she'd do it though, as opposed to people who say they would leave the person to die.

[candycoatedwaterdrops]

You haven't listened to me this whole time. I agree with you, I manage to do it without being disablist!!!!!!

[candycoatedwaterdrops]

I don't know why its ok to be disablist on here. Guess 'not normal' people are fair game, right?

[2tiredtoScare]

You'd struggle to catch a fruit fly

candy

Who has been disablist on this thread?

[candycoatedwaterdrops]

Everlong - you're being obtuse and you know it. There are proper examples on the other thread.

[Spikeytree]

Candy, they won't listen, they are too decent and normal to appreciate the irony.

[pianodoodle]

Not normal???? Ugh, what a cunty thing to say

Oh do catch a hold of yourself please.

Cunty is saying you'd leave someone's child/mother/sibling to burn to death in order to save your moggy. Actually do it would be far far worse than Cunty.

[DiseasesOfTheSheep]

She didn't say she'd do it though, as opposed to people who say they would leave the person to die

I'm not sure that's any better though. To consider someone less worthy of living simply because they don't agree with you? That's not very appealing thought... I don't consider it my place to judge other people's moral choices.

[UrgentNews]

I've decided to abandon this argument and go to bed, everyone just have some and , and chillax. Thanks for a mentally stimulating conversation .

[pianodoodle]

Actually doing it, that should read.
