I found it very disturbing that a few people were specifically fine with the torture of a <i>baby</i>, but didn't want the cat to go overboard.<br /><br />Oh well. As one of the comments said, these choices/preferences are not rational. They're emotional, and as such, can't be reasoned with. All I can do is to be aware of them and prepared for any such responses from readers.Marian Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700524210146863718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125325709844932289.post-57848083888957129712014-04-13T19:39:58.389-04:002014-04-13T19:39:58.389-04:00I couldn't read very far into the thread, to b...I couldn't read very far into the thread, to be honest. I found it disturbing how many people would rather that you(r character) tortured and/or casually murdered a human than a pet.<br /><br />When I read something like that I think of the old movie I saw once (I think it was a Sly Stallone vehicle back in the 80s) in which they save the dog, but the badly wounded black man is sent floating off down the tunnel . . . (okay, it was a golden retriever, but still . . .)!<br /><br />I mean, I love cats, and I'm not very fond of most people, but if it was a choice between saving a cat and saving a person, well, I'd be grateful that all or nothing dilemmas are mostly porn for philosophers and as such rarely come up in real life.
