Personally, I think this guy is a moron. Animals are not the equal of human beings.

Anyways, when the big rock hits the earth, we'll all be just molten lumps of flesh.
<strong>You can say we are at the top of the food chain or the dominant species on earth. But to say we are better or worth more than an animal is sort of egotistical.</strong><hr></blockquote>
If you were in a situation where you had to choose between saving 1 human or 1,000 mice what would be the ethical/moral/sane choice? Call me egotistical but I think the human life is worth more.

What if the choice was between the last bald eagles (minimum number required to repopulate) and Mr. Charles Manson (or several random homeless people?)
Something you think might be more ethical probably isn't. Each of us is as insignificant as a single mouse in the long run.

I wouldn't save Manson under any circumstance I can imagine. I would save the homeless people over the last of any species; perhaps the homeless persons would choose to die rather than having the eagle go extinct but that's not something I can decide for them.
