Dogs more important then… …Humans?!

I was watching my shows two of which are on ESPN, Pardon the Interruption and Around the Horn, when I heard something that I just had to post.  Dante Stallworth, a wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints, was sentenced to 30 days in jail for hitting a pedestrian while driving drunk.  Now under normal circumstances I would not think twice about this, but then I remembered one Michael Vick who just spent 19 months in prison for fighting dogs.  Now I am not saying that dogs, animals for that matter, have no place in our hearts.  They are great pets, they are great companions and I have really enjoyed the ones I have had, as i am sure you have.  However, I can not think that for one minute that someone acting irresponsible and killing someone should in any way garner less of a sentence then killing an Animal!  My beautiful fiancee completely disagree, she argues (and it does make sense) that Vick intentionally fought animals, thus intentionally hurt them and therefore deserves a longer punishment over Dante who merely got drunk and accidentally killed someone.  I get the difference and I still think that killing a PERSON, a HUMAN should grab you a longer sentence.  The moment you step into that vehicle impaired you are intentionally doing it, and therefore your actions should be judged as such.  I will not lie to you and tell you that I have never driven impaired, because I have, but I have decided that it will never happen again because I don’t ever want to cause someone their life. My Fiancee has the biggest, sweetest heart I know and believes 100% that Animals have souls and feelings, as for me, I am still unsure at this point.

I posed this question to her, “You are told you MUST shoot either the Animal or the Human in front of you, which one do you shoot.” to which she replied, “the person asking me to make the choice.”  Well played sly woman you, But now I ask you, my reader:

You have an animal and a human in front of you, both are great beings, the person feeds the homeless gives money to the poor is the perfect saint and the dog is a seeing eye dog, great with children.  You must shoot one of them, not the person asking, not fire your round into the air, you must point and shoot either the Human or the Animal, the fate of the world depends on you doing it, which is it?

I for one will shoot the dog without a second thought for me, the choice is simple: Animals are great, but humans are far more important.

Post your answers and any comments you have on the situation!
