Halibut Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Rather than name calling Halibut, what would you have done? You are very critical yet you offer no solution. Don't you think it's sick, valuing human lives more than animals lives? You seem to missing the part of the report where it says the soldiers appear to have set the IED themselves. I wouldn't be party to a damn stupid enterprise like setting IED's to blow up dogs in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Why do you think humans are more important than other life? Because they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I find it astonishing that people consider animals to be equal or more important than human lives. To have this view a person must have some mental problems or possibly an abusive upbringing which left them with a perverse view of the value of human life.

MrSmith Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Because they are. That’s a stupid answer and demonstrates that you don't know. You must have a reason that leads you to believe that human life if more important than other life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingjimmy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The absolute least they could have done is try calling the dog over away from the explosion, or scaring it away. Instead they chose to wait for it to get nice and close and then laugh maniacally as they killed it. As for the point about 'giving away their position' they are driving through a populated area in the daytime in a convoy with at least 3 vehicles, everyone already knows their position. They're hardly seal team six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it arrogant for someone to think that their life is more important than other life, one of the lowest forms of life on this planet is far more impotent than human life, because without it humans wouldn’t have evolved, and would die if it ceased to exist.

MrSmith Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Its certainly more important than that dog. Why? Is it because we are more intelligent than dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Erikson Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Don't you think it's sick, valuing human lives more than animals lives? We do as a species naturally value our own over any other. I'd go so far as to say that on a basic human level we would even value life on skin colour. That's irrelevant as it's human nature. Your child and your dog is drowning, you can only rescue one. There would be nothing sick in that judgement. You seem to missing the part of the report where it says the soldiers appear to have set the IED themselves. Apparently. I wouldn't be party to a damn stupid enterprise like setting IED's to blow up dogs in the first place. Again, apparently. Let's just say it was all real as some of us may think. What would you do if you were in that situation. At some point a choice would need to be made. Rather than name calling people who dare to think differently from you why not educate us as to what you would do if in that situation? No-one will call you sick if they don't like the answer. It's all just debate on a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
