I’ve been discussing with my sister (a big fan of her cats) about what lives we would save in an emergency. I think a human live is worth more than an animal’s no question asked but she thinks otherwhise. So to end this discussion I’m writing here.

  1. Who would you save between your cat and your worst enemy?
  2. What if it was between your cat and a stranger?
  3. Why?

    Society has deemed that a human life is more valuable than another animal, but that doesn’t mean that this applies to everyone. I’d save my dogs over a stranger sure, but I’d sure make an effort to save both. The value of a life on a personal basis is primarily driven by how connected you are with them.
