The Value Of Your Childs Life  
Professor Steven Best, also an ALPO (animal liberation press office) Press Officer and additionally the Chairman of the Philosophy Department at the University of Texas, El Paso, nonchalantly informing an audience at the University of Iowa and again at Texas Christian University that in the event he could save either his dog or a human stranger from a burning building, he'd save his dog because his dog gave him pleasure and the stranger did not (an example of the "Me First" ethic — an attitude that masquerades as an ethic, really — an attitude that places oneself and one's pleasures above other human beings).
I pose these question to those of you whose goal is "Total Animal Liberation", these groups are ALF, ELF, SHAC and of course PeTA. Ingrid Newkirk said: "There’s no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights. A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. They’re all animals."- Washingtonian magazine

I hope you answer truthfully as opposed to politically.

1. I want you to think before you take this poll, Mr. Best has said very clearly his dog is more valuable than your child to him. How do you view that ? [required]
I believe as Ingrid Newkirk does and my child or any human child have no special rights.
I believe human life is sacred and should be preserved above all other.
2. So whom do you save from the burning building? [required]
I would save my dog over a human infant I did not know.
I would save the human infant.
