Because they feel that the animals are less fortunate then themselves so they care for them as their children. Or they might not have children or have lost a child in a accident so they care for the animal as they would have cared for their child.
It is subjective to say whether animals are more important than humans. Both animals and humans have value and deserve respect and care.
Wild animals care for their young ones with great love, sometimes a little more then us humans.
Yes. But technically, humans are animals.
Humans care more for their own species out of instinct as well as familiarity. You probably love your family and friends more than strangers, correct? The same tends to extend to people and the rest of the human species. In addition, we're programmed to care for our own first. It's instinct to care for those of your own social group, and with a global expansion of communications people feel closer to one other than ever before. Unfortunately, this people-first attitude often gets extended into animal cruelty... saving a kid instead of a dog is expected and commendable, but exploiting animals for profit because "people come first" is an unfortunate side effect of this mindset ):
Some people believe that humans are more important than animals because they think that humans have higher intelligence, consciousness, and abilities to shape the world around them. They may also believe that humans have a special moral status or purpose that sets them apart from animals.
Crocodiles eat many more animals than humans regardless of their geographic location.
Often people abandon animals when they can not afford to care for them properly. I some cases they have somehow ended up with more animals than they can care for by reckless or uncontrolled breeding. Sometimes people move and are unable to take animals with them.
That is incorrect, humans aren't animals they are considered people, humans and aliens are people because humans have spirits and are made in the image of god and Adam and eve were the first humans evolution is fake we are more educated than any animal or living thing, therefore we are not animals, some people say that pigs and humans can exchange blood, it's true but because pigs eat anything they find so do humans.
People say that animal rights activists favor animals more than humans. For example, PETA says that they won't let new drugs be tested on animals even if it helps to cure AIDS.
Because it is believed that a human life is more important than an animal's life. People don't think of animals feeling pain, testing on humans seems worse than testing on animals. Most of the products are tested on on humans after they have been tested on animals.
i think humans are superior then animals because if we didn't have animals to test on then we would have to test on our selves and more human would die from the chemical test and animals need humans to live so they can live.
well... i have 2 dogs & there not PETS 2 me there more then that their famIlY
