Would everyone here feel the same if it was a rat? What makes one life more worthy than another? They are "cute" or mammals?
I'm sure we wouldn't feel the same if it were rats.
But she would still be having fun while killing them. And that's sick.
The reason why we wouldn't feel the same: (imo)
A puppy is small, cute, adorable, stuff
A rat, is small, stinky, bearing diseases, etc... kinda :|
-ish
We have a 'use' for puppy's, that might sound a bit harsh, but they're practically objects for us.
Objects that make us happier. Not that that's a bad thing.
Rats on the other hand, most people don't have uses for them. And they've got diseases.
They haven't got any use for the most people, and more importantly, we won't get an emotional bond with them.
(although that's not entirely true, those are
wild rats, not home-held rats, which I've had two in the past. They were great
Also, scientists also use them for scientific stuff, they're a lot like humans... right?
)
Soooo yeah when something has a use for us humans = good
When useless = bad
Emotions > useless, so useless stuff somebody has a bond with (like a spoon he found 20 years ago? o.o all rusty and stuff) = good for us humans.
Hope that kinda explains us...
