Do you believe every living creature is equal?

In that, we all are alive and deserve the same respect?

I always feel bad when I accidentally squish insects. I've also got a feeling that something from the deep sea might take over in the distant future...

Do you feel differently about mammals in contrast to reptiles (and other sorts of animals)?
 
In theory, yes i do.

In practice, no i don't.

I cannot equate the life of an earthworm with that of my parents or husband or any other human for that matter.

Whilst driving, my Dad hit a fox on the road because he didn't swerve to miss it. Should he have swerved to miss it and risked the life of himself and my Mum instead?
 
Ovcourse, not the ants fault its the size of a grape seed , but then again there is far more ants in the world neh? It all balances out
 
well, id have to say that chickens are my favorite, they are probably a little more equal than the rest.
 
No. There is a definite hierarchy to life on this planet. The food chain spells this out quite clearly.
 
people think its mean of me to say this but Deffinately Not... we are the only creation that can learn and speak multiple languages, read. we are better then any animal that has lived or exist today. dont get me wrong, i LOVE animals, but if i had to choose between your life or a dogs life in a burning building. im sorry, but my heart will make me save your life.
 
All animals have evolved to what works for them. I don't believe we should exploit animals the way we do. Take chickens for instant. They are easy to exploit and use for food. Yet the very foods (grains) they eat would be far better for human consumption than the meat and eggs of the birds. I don't feel bad about killing certain insects tho. Misquotes cause more deaths than any other disease in the world and contribute little to nothing back to the world. Ticks and fleas are on that list to. Cockroaches however disgusting, do some good. They are like little vacuum cleaners that go about cleaning up after us. We don't know what will, if ever, take our place on earth. But we won't be around to see it. Reptiles are just that. Reptiles. They take so long to change that what you see is pretty much what you get now and into the future. They don't make good pets.
 
While I love all creatures (except mosquitos and ticks) lol -
I don't feel that we are all equal. However I think we all deserve the same respect.

Animals are often treated poorly at the hands of humans and that is not right. It's disgusting.
 
nope as a part of nature myself it is my duty to eat lower order animals. I don't think I am above the food chain, and ironically the lower down the evolutionary order the less likely I am to eat them. No rodents, reptiles or insects.
Cows, assorted birds, swine, lamb, delicious. That said, I don't go about wantonly killing animals for no good reason, only for food, and if they are threatening me(or annoying me).
 
No I don't. When it comes to saving a human or an animal, I would choose the human.
