Obviously that's your opinion, and thats ok. But there are plenty of ppl in this world who put more stock in an innocent animal life than that of a human. Animals don't have much free choice when forced into the human world, most humans DO have choice.

I'm not saying I would ever want to have to choose between the two, but I value the life of an animal EQUALLY to that of a human. I'm obviously not alone in that belief.
