Why is it so wrong to love animals more than people?

its not, they tend to deserve it more

That is lovely and I completely agree. It is the way I feel about my cats and all cats in general.

If someone hurt my brother's two American Bull dogs in front of me I would end up in prison and the attacker's mother would weep for what I did to her offspring. Lets say it would not be an open casket funeral.

If there was a burning building and I had to choose between rescuing a human or a cat, I would choose the human (the cat would be more likely to be smart enough to get out on it's own). But, if I had to choose between a cat roommate and a human roommate, the cat wins hands down.

Not really sure but I feel the same way. Usually am indifferent about people, especially socially but I love most animals. Animals accept a person just the way they are and most people are judgemental about things that are different. If I were you I would trade your mom for a chinchilla or a monkey.

I think there is nothing wrong with loving (non-human) animals more than humans. As long as you are not harming humans, then I can't see what the problem could be.

As for becoming a vet, if you can get a place on a course then go for it. Its very hard in the UK to get into vet school. You could always consider becoming a zoologist if you are good at biology but not so good at maths. Or a zookeeper. I briefly worked with meerkats when I was doing a zoology course.

I prefer computers and robots over humans and animals. They're generally more user friendly. That being said, I would still give up my computer if I had to in order to save anyone's life (within reason of course, not Hitler). I don't enjoy the company of other humans, but that doesn't mean I hate them.

I think a lot of people think I don't like people at all because I am willing to talk to cats, pet them, and hug them. I find it easier to talk to a pet because there really isn't any social norms and animals rarely reject their owners. They give you unconditional love while my experiences with people hasn't been too well and I've encountered rejection and am lonely wishing I can be with someone but realize it is nearly impossible for me to communicate with people even though I long to be with someone, especially a woman.

Among all animals I like best dogs.

One common false belief about animals is that their love and affection depend on feeding them. How false it is, really.

My father takes care of his rather hyperactive dog, but when I see this dog, he is so joyful, I would say more than with anybody else. I play with him, pet, cuddle him. Also, I'm consistent with my directions and the "who obeys who" thing, applying only the minimum amount of force to achieve this, using symbolism a dog understands. I hate doing any harm to animals. However, the dog listens to my directions just as well as my father's. If only humans were so easy to get along with... sigh

Although I like animals in general, I'm not sure I would be able to care for an animal in the long term without help.

Animals do not talk and they possibly all have Aspergers. Cats are well known for being independent, aloof and introverted typical traits of Aspergers.

Animals do not cause us as much problems as human interactions. A pet is a great companion for a person with Aspergers Syndrome.

When I had to put my cat Felix to sleep a few years back (6/10/08 trust me I know the day) I cried harder than I think I even have at a relative's funeral.

Other than a very small, select group of people, I would usually pick animals over people any day. Especially cuddly animals (not a particular type, just critters that love to cuddle)

now I miss my kitty. Darnit
