Do animal lovers actually love animals more than humans?

Favorite Answer

I love animals and I get along with them better than most people, however I do not think animals are equal to humans. People who think animals are higher or equal than their fellow humans have mental problems and should get professional help....Show more

Of course people are a very important part of society, and they are able to help themselves GENERALLY. There are, however, exceptions. Animals cannot do all that much if they are being mistreated. They are helpless and they need love. I am willing to be critisized for saying this, but I think animals are of equal importance to humans. And no, I do not have mental problems. I love animals and could not live without them. I cannot imagine why people are cruel to them. I can see from your point of view as well as from others and I respect our differences in opinion....Show more

If you love someone, you have to respect their feelings. Animals have the ability to feel fear, pain, suffering, sadness, etc. If you eat meat, you re pretty much agreeing to those negative feelings that the animal has to endure before and while getting killed. This is not love. Meat eaters who call themselves true animal lovers obviously don t know the true meaning of love. There is more to love than just simply showing emotional attachment. And also, we don t even need meat to survive so why eat it?...Show more

This one does.

On the whole, animals are a lot easier to love than people. They have so many lovable qualities, and none of the qualities that make humans so lousy.

Obviously I care more about my own family and friends than animals, but I'd rather care for animals and lobby for their rights than I would human's. I'm a vet nurse and I spend more time dealing with people than I do the actual animals - trust me, the animals are easier to like, even the ones that bite.

People in our society who are on welfare or on special needs programs have programs that are in place to help them, which are usually funded by tax payers and the federal government.

The animal lovers have more empathy for animals, as they cannot care for themselves, nor have they been asked to be put in certain situations.

Illegal aliens and immigrants had a choice. They chose to come to our country, and now our Government is assisting them. Dogs that are in puppy mills had no choice in the matter. They were put there for someone elses profit and forced to live in deplorable conditions.

So, I'll spend my own hard earned $$ to help an animal in need, as the Gov't is already taking my hard earned $$ and putting it in these special programs....Show more
