Even if I love her, she is an animal, and so I view her as lesser

    I’d say yeah because the implication would be that if there’s no food for me, then there’s probably no food for the dog, and I’d rather try to have one of us live than neither of us

      Yeah. I wouldn’t want to kill my dog, I’m not a psycho. But in extreme circumstances unsvavory decisions must be taken, and I do think most people intuitively view themselves as more important than their pets, even if they don’t want to admit it

        I view it practically, the animal has a shorter lifespan than me and would not know how to properly prepare my body so it doesn’t rot, that animal would definitely starve if I died for it

      If I’m willing to eat pigs, who oftentimes are more intelligent and empathetic than dogs, then why would I choose not to

      You’re either a vegan or not. If you’re not, you’re either a hypocrite or a non-hypocrite

        I don’t eat pigs :p and I’m a hypocrite but if my companion who I have a bond with was starving with me with no other options I deadass think I’d die so they could eat me

          if you want to personify them, then i feel likeba loyal dog would sacrifice itself for its owner’s survival

    I would kill and eat every human on the planet before I do the same for animals
