    All animals under all circumstances?

    If I’m driving down the road, and a squirrel runs out of nowhere, and I can either hit it or jerk the wheel and fly off the road, I risk that my car will save me, because it will for sure kill the squirrel?

    What if you have a child born with a heart issue that will kill it, and there is an option to euthanize a pig that will likely save your child child life, you would let your child die in lieu of the pig?

    Yea, I’ma call bullshit on that one. It’s good that you value the lives of all creatures, and you think that you value them equally to humans, but you’re lying to yourself.

      Honestly that’s kinda the problem I have with a lot of animal activities you have some that try their best like sheltering stray cats and dogs then you have pita activists that seem to think we must kill humans to make way for our animal overlords

      You can say whatever you want. I never said it was a popular opinion. Every single time it comes up people say the same things, make the same arguments.

      I know it’s hard to believe, but not everyone shares your belief system.

          I’ve slammed on my brakes before to avoid hitting an animal. What’s so controversial about that?

            In this hypothetical situation, you don’t have enough time to stop. 65 mph down the hwy, 30 yards in front of you. One of you has to go. Who’s it gonna be?

            Or we can go back to the other example… You would let your child suffer and die from a heart condition instead of giving them a chance to survive, and all that’s needed is the life of a single pig. Keep in mind, pigs live about 15-20 and people live generally 65+ years. So point blank, would you trade your kid’s life for that of a pig’s?

                Lol. You’re so fucking delusional. You’ve been engaging up until I asked for a point blank answer. You’d either have to lie and continue to look like the idiot you are, or you’d have to admit you were mistaken in your beliefs.

                  Or, alternatively, I know it’s hard to believe, but this is devolved into people calling me a moron, and I have better things to do with my time.

                    “How dare you make a valid argument, I’m just going to end the conversation instead of giving any sort of reasonable ground at all. I’m either right or just engaging in a stupid conversation!”
