Originally posted by RaistI agree with the poster if I get into an accident over someone driving at speeds like that because of their dog and I have my son in the car things are about to get even worse. They will be worrying about a lot more than their dog dying because one or both of them is about to be heading down that same path.

Sorry I was using your post as a launching pad for another rant. I did not mean to criticize you in any way. In fact the whole "cell phone reference" dated things and made me realize you are a lot younger than I thought; great intellect you have.
Sorry again, I know better than to be sarcastic with young pups, this discussion just got me fired up. Your thoughts on this matter are very accurate and insightful.

I think that I just read the same exact story you did and no-where did I read the driver was 'irrationally driving'. Nowhere did it mention swerving, or careless driving.
On August 5, Stephens pulled over Krystal Hernandez and her boyfriend Michael Gonzalez for speeding. City officials say the vehicle was traveling 95 miles an hour and driving erratically on I-35.

maybe you can sell your big scary harley davidson boots and use the money to buy some balls? then you wont be frightened when a woman and her poodle dangerously pass you on the interstate. 95mph oh my, that's scary. or just keep your boots in the right lane with the school buses and blue haired old ladies and you'll be fine.

The arguments I've read here in defense of the dogs owner are totally ridiculous. Comparing the life of a dog, or any animal for that matter, to that of a person, is completely ludicrous!
I shudder to think that some of you would honestly endanger the lives of other people to save an animal. Talk about having your priorities all wrong.. didn't you parents or your church ever teach you anything about the sanctity of a human life?
If someone seriously needs to explain to you why a human life is more important than an animal's, then it's a waste of time to do so.. You wouldn't understand the concept.

Why? do our higher level brain functions make us more important than any animal on this planet? I stand on snails, or slugs I feel guilt, I regret doing it, I try and avoid it when I can (I hate spiders aswell, hate them, but I usually try and throw them out a window before killing them)
Yeah, it's terrible that I was taught you should respect human life.. How dare they!
Oh, hell no, it's the sanctity of life, not human life, that is where most people can get confused, so apparently your parents or church didn't cover the part that states humans aren't the only creature on this planet that need to be cared for and considered, nice child hood EMM

You don't want to "waste time" explaining it because you CAN'T explain it. It is your personal belief system and there is NO scientific real world evidence that in any way proves humans are the only self-aware beings on the planet.

Anyone who honestly believes an animal's life is more valuable than a child's, needs some serious therapy in my opinion.
Erratically driving usually involves swerving and is always careless.
