Indeed. I wasn't suggesting that people need to kill each other over hurt egos or financial stuff, but it's at least
understandable for the acts i listed to invoke strong anger and lust for retribution. A man can be a
far better provocateur than a puppy, I'm sure you'll agree.
And looking at the opposite side of what you suggest, what positive things can a person do for society compared to a dog?
Once again i bring my main point up: dogs don't differ as much as humans do. Dogs all contribute to society in a relatively even manner. Obviously less than an average human, but i would argue that life of
some humans is worth far less.
