The Vick Factor

How come people try so hard to humanize animals?

Your druggie question: I think it has to deal with him only hurting himself vs. someone or something else.

It's not an issue of humanizing animals, it's a fact that our society has become more educated about them, and that knowledge has, I believe, made us more compassionate. That's all. Nothing wrong with a society improving upon itself.

Yeah these people love animals more than humans. If they saw a bum on the street they probably would step over them. Social improvement? I love animals and I dont want to see them harmed. But if its a baby and a puppy about to fall of a bridge which one would you chose....How about this save a life of a child that is dieing somewhere in the world.

Just because people are appalled at what Vick did doesn't in anyway mean they think animals are more important than humans. With the exception of PETA.
