Most Explicit Animal Axiom Question Yet

[etxel]

To me its a question of values. And whats the value of a human life (good man or bad man) vs. an animal life.

Well, I'll take my human life. Its worth to me is infinite against an animals life, meaning my life is worth more to me than the life of an infinite number of animals. Of course asumming that I can live in a world where an infinite number of animals are killed : ).

Ok, so now if we take someone elses life and what they're life is worth to them. Well, I have no idea. Say they're life to them is worth x number of animals. So, they'd rather be dead if x animals are killed (painlessly or not)

Now, what is other people's life worth to me? Well, since I would like my life worth to be respected by other people, meaning that no one will kill me (or wish I was dead) even if animal deaths are infinity, then I think it is fair for me to respect other people's life worth (against an animals life).

So, to know whether I think a person should die or not after a certain number of animal kills, I would have to find out what that person's own x is.

And, in theory if I find that someone's x is 10, and 10 cats die in front of the person, I would ask "is your x still 10 or do you want to reconsider", if the person says "why don't we make it like 20" then I would say "Okey dok, but remember my x will always be infinite!"

What I'm trying to say is that an animal's life has different values to different people but if you think that someone's life is worth a certain number of animal lives, its fair to accept that to everyone else you're own life is worth certain number of animal lives.

To me it doesn't matter if the person is good or bad. If the person is bad (because he did something bad to humans, not animals) then its a different story, but that person's life worth would be the same no matter how many animals die.

And in theory if someone doesn't respect "my x (which is infinity)", and thinks that I should die if it saves 1000 cats, then its fair for me not to respect "their life x" even if to me they should die if it means saving 2 cats.

Therefore, I don't think anyone should wish or decide over a person's life vs. an animal life except that same person.

sorry for some typos. ie change their for they're above. It must be dyslexia or something

What would you chose your own x to be? Meaning how many animals whould you be willing to die for (painlessly)?
