Is there a justifiable moral case for caring about animals more than about other humans ?

Sorry but I don't like humans. I find animals far more trustworthy, happy to be with you, no strings attached (as long as you feed them of course).
Give me non-human animals anyday.-

I know just what you mean , relationships with animals are much simpler and more straightforward , and it's easier to love and to forgive them ,
Thanks ,

I agree with Gwearbennen completely. I prefer animals to humans too. Especially my own pets whom I can trust and love. They have all shown love and loyalty throughout the years. Every dear pet I have ever had. I hope I can see them again one day in another world.
I think they have souls too - so there!! JW xx-

I feel the same , Charlotte . I love my Mum , and am fond of various people , but relationships with animals are simpler and it's somehow easier to unconditionally love them ,
Thank You , Martin - x - . -

hah ofcourse it is. humans are bloody scary! my ultimate goal: get away from civilization and go live with my mother earth IN PEACE. and peace is something you dont get around humans...hmph...!
so of course its justifiable...if humans find a way to justify their idiocy, our misanthropy is more than justified...

I think so. Animals don't really have free-will (do they?) so they are ruled by instinct. When a human does a 'bad' thing we can condemn them and stop caring because they chose to do it whereas an animal can't help how it acts so when a bad behaviour occurs we let them off.
Ha, just read the above and I haven't explained myself well but thats the best I can do! -

I would say no on the basis that humans are also animals. In my view, at best, non-human animals could be seen as equal to humans, but not greater.
