Is qas... saying that he would save the animal first because that would be completely screwed up. Feel free to correct me if I interpreted that incorrectly.	beeswax34 (63)
682704	2008-06-30 00:32:00	Is qas... saying that he would save the animal first Yeah, bees, theoretically I probably would. But it does also depend on a lot of things, circumstance etc, and I might do otherwise when confronted with such a dilemma that would force me to choose. But theoretically, yes. because that would be completely screwed up. You'll find that I am so in more ways than one. ;) qazwsxokmijn (www.pressf1.co.nz) Based on your attitude I would bring either of my pets to you for treatment any day should you decide to qualify and I hope you go for it. If I found a cat or dog with injuries on the side of the road I would take the pet in and help if I could. If I found a human in the same state and did the same thing I think that the human may leave with some property I own. Fortunately pets just do not do that thieving for now. Cows and Sheep are different of course as they are not pets as I understand the terminology. This apart from pet lambs or calves for example. You may, as a Vet, have to put healthy pets down which could upset you. Cheers Sweep, you sound like business to me. :lol:	qazwsxokmijn (102)

Ah, but lets see . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . what if it was a particular human? Hitler for instance? Or the local Gang member who just xxxxxxxxxxxed your mother? Anyway lets have another theory . We're smart . (Arguments on the valididty of that staement reserved for later . ) Therefore we take precedence over other animals . Animals can therefore be eaten, used as labour, used for experimenst etc . Now lets say super smart super aliens arrive . Naturally they could use us for these purposes too then . Right?	pctek (84)

Aliens arrive = nuclear war, we all die. We're talking about one's own dog. And if a dog is a badass bloodthirsty fighter, then it would most likely be the owner's fault, through extreme and deliberate negligence.	qazwsxokmijn (102)

Right? they're welcome to try, we can't go "oh no fair" now, can we? though lying around the home all day getting free food/shelter doesn't sound too bad either;) i never said smartness made us superior, but the fact is if we don't survive our pets sure wont... and survival of our species etc etc	motorbyclist (188)
682710	2008-07-01 12:01:00	I voted yes to the question "Will your decision in any way be affected by the ethnicity of a vet?" because if there was an Asian vet I would take my dog there if it got injured because they might buy it off me to eat. And then I wouldn't have to shoot it and I would get money too. Bonus.	roddy_boy (4115)
682711	2008-07-01 12:29:00	Motorbyclist: cats and dogs can become feral. Look at the dingoes. And cats are more adaptable than dogs. Roddy boy: I knew it was you, and since it's been confirmed, your opinion is not regarded in any way by me.	qazwsxokmijn (102)
682712	2008-07-01 13:42:00	really think the billions of animals we have domesticated would survive in the wild? reckon all of the pets in auckland would be able to feed themselves without people? besides, i'm sure the aliens would find them just as delicious as they do us	motorbyclist (188)
