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?

    Kind of curious who your enemies are, OP.

    The ones I haven’t met personally are causing the deaths of millions of people.

    The ones I have met personally are rapists and child abusers.

    Would you save those kinds of people instead of saving a cat to whom you have a duty of care?

      Got you one better, where tf do you meet these people? I know there are a bunch of em’, but I’m not in these circles and don’t plan to be, thus I don’t know any.

        They are not in special “circles” - they are unfortunately distributed through society. You’ve probably met a couple without realizing.

        The only ways of knowing who they are is if you are either told about them by their victims, or are victimized yourself; or if they are convicted of their crimes.

        Not OP, but how I know someone so despicable:

        He was 30 when he raped my 13 year old best friend and when he got out of prison, continued dating her piece of shit mom instead of fucking off. I’d sooner throw him into a burning building than save him from one.
