It just depends on what perspective you choose. Obviously human life is more significant than dog lives, but a lot of people see dogs similar to children. A life of love and innocence that does not deserve to know violence. It’s not so much comparing the value of lives but the value of innocence.
Except that’s my point. The people he assassinated were also innocent. The people he tried to assassinate were innocent. This wasn’t like a mob hit or an act of war. This was a terrorist attack.
What I mean is that people will usually see dogs as more innocent than even the most innocent human adult. Literally how most people feel about children. That type of innocence deserves to be protected, and failure to do so hurts more than the death of a stranger. It’s not rational, but it’s just how a lot of people feel. If those same people were to think about it rationally, they would say the loss of human lives is definitely worse.
There are people in this thread who are confirming that people care more for the dog. If you think those people don’t exist, I’m not going to have to provide proof. You’ll see it in the coming days and weeks.
Animals don’t understand our language, they don’t understand our actions and they don’t know the consequences… So the US citizens have had so damn much time to defend democracy… but they only started when fascism was enforced and it was really already foreseeable where it would end…
With flowers against batons, tear gas, weapons in general.
As soon as the Republicans start the large-scale purge it will.
With flowers against assault rifles, tanks, etc.
So my sympathy is very limited.
It’s fucked up, but there will be people more upset that he shot a dog than that he shot four people, killing two of them.
Edit: are you downvoting me because you think I’m wrong or because you think I’m right?

You’re getting downvoted because you’re being a huge downer without evidence
Sorry, I didn’t mean to bring negative vibes to this party.
You brought no proof that people care more for the dog. It’s just a nonsense post looking to talk shit about people.
It’s not about talking shit. It’s about feeling morally superior to some imagined adversary.

One person said that. What a miserable cynic
