travel with dog in trailer?
Anyone travel with your pets in the trailer while underway? (This assumes the trailer temp will be at a comfortable level). I'm thinking I might give it a try.

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.
But you're looking at it as a comparison. It's not a comparison. It's a responsibility to a living creature. That dog's life is dependent upon me - I accepted that responsibility. Doing less than what is best for that dog is a failure plain and simple. Just like doing less than what is best for my family is a failure plain and simple.
I never understood the logic that to do your best for one person/creature somehow means you have to do less for another. My responsibility to my family is priority - but that doesn't make my responsibility to my animals less.
It's not really worth arguing about but you're changing what you said. Initially you did compare the two when you said the animals in your life were as important as the people in your life.
