If there are no other options


You're walking along one day when suddenly your dog and some kid make eye contact with each other and out of no where start running towards each other.

Your dog is running towards the kid, the kid is running towards your dog and they are about to collide in the road when a large speeding truck is oncoming.

The driver is a big time metal head and is listening to Slayer on full blast, with his eyes closed, one hand on the wheel and thrashing his head around like a maniac with no idea what's in front of him.

You're approaching from the side and the only one close enough to stop either of them, but you would only be able to stop one of them in time.

Who do you grab at the last moment to pull to safety?

To me the answer is obvious but CE has displayed..... 'interesting' attitudes in the past so I'm interested in what the poll results will be

Kid.

But there are a lot of sick people on CE who would choose the dog over a human child. Hopefully these people never breed.

The only purpose these topics are ever made for is for nerds to make up a reason to call other psychos in an attempt to actually have one person in life they can try to look down on when they are used to being looked down on themselves.

That makes no sense. What side of the street are you on? If you can choose one to save you must get to a point where its equidistant so you could certainly save both.

The kid then.
It's far more likely to eventually learn not to run into the street - not so much for the dog. Also the kid is probably going to live to be eighty years old, while the dog would be lucky to see fifteen.

Therefore, it's far less likely to be a wasted effort, and has a better return on the investment.

Also also, it's vastly easier and cheaper to buy another dog, than to buy another child.

I think this lack of empathy towards species you consider lesser than you is a sign of sociopathy. You pick the politically correct answer because you feel like saving a human is the "right" thing to do, and yet you've never felt the warmth of a beloved family pet

The murdering rapist is more likely

He's playing outside alone and running into the street without looking, clearly his parents don't play a big part in his life. Bad parents = more likely to be a bad person.
