Humans are animals. So comparing humans to animals is like comparing pine trees to the plant kingdom. One species will never be more important than an entire kingdom. So yes, other animals as a whole are more important than humans.

I like wolves, but they're not one of my favorite animal species because they are simply overrated. People act like wolves are the most endangered species and they think that wolves need to be protected above all other animals, but that's not true.
I never say that I like wolves simply because everyone thinks you're "one of those people" who value wolves about any other animal.

Eh it is a wolf. Nothing special.

I can't wrap my head around why young people love wolves so much. It gets to where it is really weird and disturbing in a sense. I feel like most do not even know anything about the animal besides "hur dur pretty walf". And then get mad when you give them facts.
Hell I've seen adults act like that. There are way more amazing creatures besides wolves out there, and ones that are much more threatened and need help. Wolves are now doing fine, and in some places are overpopulated. 'Course though, they are "wild and majestic and beautiful and intelligent and amazing need all the help to make sure they live forever because evil humans are murdering them." When I see posts about people wanting to kill humans because they hunt wolves I just sit here and think "Lol really, are you that obsessed you'd go on a mass murder to protect an animal that would eat you if it was starving and not give two craps about you saving it's life? That it doesn't even know what you are doing and can't comprehend it because it is just an animal?"

Yea ok child.

And don't even get me started on all the people who say they are actually wolves or should have been born one. I get otherkin to a point and yeah I'm sure some people are born in the wrong body but I highly doubt just because you like wolves means you're actually a wolf, every single time.
also the amount of people who have their wolves giant and black with blue eyes. You do know wolves naturally cannot have blue eyes and the ones that do have been interbred at some point in their lineage with a husky (or possibly malamute). Also no natural full blooded wolf has a pure black pelt either.
But no I doubt you knew that, walfaboo.



Couldn't agree more.

That's not true(in most of the cases) most animals now are in Natural Reserves where they are actually controlled and separated from predators which are feed by humans, example, I just went to South Africa and in most of the natural reserves, lions were in separate cages and they were really fat which indicates that they don't run which means they don't hunt, they are feed by humans and that is not being completly free(I now I am going slightly off the wolf theme but I just wanted to make an example) with wolves it happens the same thing if they hunt to much they are killed by humans and that is not completly free

If they hunt too much livestock humans have every right to take out that animal, their livestock is their lifestyle and form of work. Call them greedy all you want but people still gotta feed their families which is more important than a wolf living or dying.


I don't quite agree there. Call me an extremist all you want, I think animals are more important than humans will ever be.


I quite agree with that, I love animals and I think they are as important as humans I don't think any of them is better or worse

What I would do in that situation would depend on many things. I can't state an all out opinion of which I would save. I don't think one or the other should automatically be considered superior and more worth saving.
Is the person a "good person?" What is the current health of the two? How old are they? Etc.

Agree, I personaly think that this occations is rarely( almost never) going to happen and even if it does, I think the person should consider which one is easier to save because I mean, if the human is about to fall of a cliff and the animal about to be shoot, I would help the human because it easier(also depending on the distance), if I say this is just because I belief that if you can save a live, save it, if you can save two, do it but if you try to save someone that's impossible to save and the animal its easier, at least you've saved a life

I personally believe one's family and economic state is yes, more valuable than a non threatened species life that happens to kill off basically their money which is something that people kinda need. Granted that, the animal should be taken out humanely and not wasted. Also, I support legal hunting of any non threatened species. This is simply my own opinion based upon experience.

Indeed. I couldn't care less about people, really. Given the option, I'd save my pets first before my family, even.

That scares me. You need to seriously think that over. wether animals are better,equal or below.
A Random person is one thing, saying that you would save a animal over your own flesh and blood is very concerning..
In my case I'd save the human if he is bad then he goes to jail afterwards.
