I see nothing wrong with caring about an injured animal. It has nothing to do with equating human life with animal life.
Exactly.
Really? At the risk of injury to you by stopping on a motorway...alone?
Opossum are vermin, similar to a wharf rat. Spare me the Buddha moral equivalence argument. Not to mention an injured wild any thing is dangerous and a potential carrier of disease. The gal made a bad mistake and paid for it with her life.
Too many people here make this logic mistake. It’s like if you aren’t in front of a clinic nothing else matters. And most of these gripers have never done a single vigil much less tried to stop someone at a planned parenthood, ever.
How people treat animals is a reflection on how they view others in weaker/lesser positions than themselves. We can only care about what these people say we have to care about? Why do they assume caring for one group means we don’t care about other groups too?
Fatal zero-sum flawed way of looking at people.
