None. Angostic. I don't say there isn't a God- just haven't run across one yet. If I did, I wouldn't have any problem with it.
On to your animal point. Ok, let's keep the argument confined to mammals. Is causing suffering to a puppy the same as causing suffering to a 3 yr old child? If so, why? If not, why not?
I've caused untold suffering to uncountable fish, insects, mammals and probably people as well. I've hunted, raised livestock, killed animals simply because I thought their fur might make a nice ornament or their hide might make a nice keychain. I have no moral qualms with this whatsoever. I will go to bed and sleep tonight knowing I've done these things. Tomorrow I will do more of the same.
Well, I DO know that there is GOD. Although humans attempt to define and refine GOD, GOD exists in GOD'S terms..

First off, what IS the difference between a puppy and that of a human child, since we aren't speaking in "Godly" terms..
IOW, WHY realistically is the life of a puppy any LESS important than that of a human?
