I'm just curious. Are there a lot of people out there who think that an animal's life is just as important as a human's life? I know we are all living species and deserve love and respect, but doesn't it stand to reason that a HUMAN should put HUMANS first?
Furthermore, I hear a lot of people say that they are more endeared to animals because animals are loyal, love unconditionally, don't leave you, etc. It makes me wonder if those people are closer to animals because they've been hurt in human relationships.
But I think that It is the very fact that humans are complex and unpredictable and that we have the capability to hurt one another that makes us unique. A relationship w/ a dog is simple, and therefore, can't be compared to the complex relationships we have with other humans. There is little risk to loving an animal, whereas there is great risk in loving a human.
I am open to hear from those who agree and those who disagree. All thoughts and opinions welcome. Thanks.
