The first step in resolving this matter is to accept that animals are not humans. To equate an animal (regardless of species) with a human is absurdity. That silly ape that got shot has a lot of people riled up, and for all the wrong reasons.
Remember:
Animal DOES NOT equal human
People might not put their dog or cat in the trailer, but if they only knew that they were accidentally transporting a stow-away mouse. Oh the horror. But what's the difference?
Not sure what this has to do with the question. Many people who don't treat their dogs like humans won't transport them in a trailer. Many people who do treat their dogs like humans will transport them in a trailer.
I'll also add that many people do not see "Animal DOES NOT equal human" as "Animal is LESS IMPORTANT than human". For me, my animals are just as important as the people in my life - not because I think of them as human, but because I accepted the responsibility for them and that responsibility is just as binding as the responsibility I bear for my family.
That's an interesting perspective. I've always had dogs and I love them, but the notion that I'd put a dog at the same level of importance as my kids is just ludicrous as far as I'm concerned. It's not even comparable.
