The individual that would let the innocent kittens die in a fire is very scarey too and small minded, as many of you seem to be.
Ok- let me spell out what people are concerend about. You said that if you were put into the situation where you could save the life of a human child or of a box of kittens that you would save the kittens. That also means that you would willingly let the human child die. Saving an animal at the expense of a human child's life is a very unsettling thought for nearly everyone here.
Saying that you would let a child die just so that you could save some kittens is saying that you would willingly commit a criminal act against another human just so that you could save a couple of kittens. That is exactly what you said. So do not respond by saying "That's not what I said" If you would like to further explain yourself than please do.

I feel confident in saying that Yes, most of the people here would let the kittens die IF they had to make the choice between the kittens lives or a human life.
What I am not saying is that I would just let kittens die if there was something that I could about it. My question was about a choice- kittens or human child. Most people with a firm grip on reality would choose to save the human child. That's just how it is. It is disturbing to think that ANYONE would save the kittens and let a human child die...
I can't think of any more ways to word this so that you might understand so I will leave it at that.
