Do you have more empathy for animals or humans?

My 2 cents:

No dog I’ve ever had has ever stabbed me in the back, lied to me, taken advantage of me, nor screwed me over in any fashion.....cant say that for humans.

My current dog, a rescue from the shelter, I often catch him just sitting and looking at me with eyes that one can tell are just full of love, admiration and devotion.

What's wrong with primates and spiders?

I have far more empathy for animals. I can feel the needs and would do anything to help them. They are special spirits and my companion animals have returned to me without a doubt.

Human kind gets what it deserves. If they hurt they can deal with it. Mankind does not draw tenderness from me. I can watch the kids on those money-grubber commercials where they ask for money to feed the kids and know them for what they are.

Those animal commercials do hurt me. I help out with volunteering at our animal shelter and donating food to the food banks and shelters. I do NOT send money to the TV people as I think the animals do not see a dime of it.

I think there is special damning karma in the future lives of anyone who hurts animals in any way.

Well...that is your opinion you sad piece of shit. The hungry person can get off his ass and get some food. He made his bed...he can starve in it.

And no heaven and no hell...just a special justice...that takes care of people like you.

Your last sentence......I concur!!!!!!!

More empahty for animals.

its ironic, we are more bestial than they are most times

the scale tips to more empathy for animals because

animals have not morality.. gauge of right and wrong... but they do know order and can learn and have personalitys and feelings....

People on the other hand have morality and ignore it therefore ... empathy goes out the window a lot easier...

there was a reason Noah saved more animals then humans back in them days....

moraly corrupt wickedness..... people even though they wont admit we all have a sense of right and wrong...

and thats what I think it is to large degree....

if i saw someone clubbing a seal .. or abusing an animal in a manner that over the line Id feel inclined to hit them with a baseball bat in thier leg or ribcage ... and say that dosent feel very good does it... or you can report them to the cops or get retribution yourself....

Animals have personalitys and feelings just as we do

Animals. Humans disappoint me.

:racist5:

i feel similar to the way noah felt in the ark regarding this matter.. except the entire universal vibe is fucked up so not fully like noah but similar..

and hitler had his dog given cyanide to test it. That doesn't sound like empathy to me, for humans or animals.

yep. all dogs are great and rescues are the best of the best.
