I've been discussing with my sister (a big fan of her cats) about what lives we would save in an emergency. I think a human live is worth more than an animal's no question asked but she thinks otherwhise. So to end this discussion I'm writing here.

Who would you save between your cat and your worst enemy?
What if it was between your cat and a stranger?
Why?

Gonna change your question to "dog", as that's what I have

I would choose basically any other life over my worst enemy's. In a choice between them and no one, I'd save no one. I feel you don't understand how emnity works.
Better question, dog,
because he's a member of my family that I'm responsible for. As annoying as his theivery is and as bad as his farts are, he's my friend. Would you choose a stranger over one of your friends?

In a choice between "saving them" and "saving no one but also losing a leg" I'd be hard pressed to make a choice!
