Re: Most Explicit Animal Axiom Question Yet

Clearly you'd stomp on an ant before you'd kick a puppy.

That's just dumb. I wouldn't do either intentionally thought I have done both on accident.

My point is even if you claim "all animals are equal," you still have your own personal preferences and biases. And everyone has these. (So the statement is sort of empty.) You can and most likely will still value puppies higher than ants, for one example. So you can still answer the OP's question. I personally don't value humans much higher than some other animals. But there is certainly a difference, albeit mostly arbitrary, in which animals I value. To claim that it's a total wash is to exaggerate your sentiments, imo.
