An easy question to answer.

[Rebel Dynasty]

Despite this being a neighbour I hate (I actually don't have one of those, currently), I don't think I'd be able to live with myself if I let them die.

However, I'd feel as bad, probably worse, if I let my beloved pet die. I would try to save both, but I won't lie...I'd go for the pet, first.

 

[Devils Never Cry]

Neighbor

Reasoning
1. Although I have in the past, I don't currently own a pet.
2. While all life is precious, human life is more valuable (sorry pet lovers).

 

[Queen Virus]

My pets, because one, they're like childeren to me and two they have less of a chance of saving their selves than my neighbors. Plus all but one of my neighbors I either don't know or don't like.

How would one person dying, "really help", with our population problem? XD

simple. the earth has too many people on it. one less= more room

 

[Demi-fiend]

2. While all life is precious, human life is more valuable (sorry pet lovers).

I choose neither because --

-- I'd be too irresponsible to take care of a pet and --

-- my grudges last for years, so this would be one less person to hate.

But I still like animals like cats, rabbits, and sugar gliders more than people, so there's that.

*shrugs*

Besides, seeing how bad life is nowadays, the neighbor is probably getting the better end of the bargain, anyway.

I'm just a ray of sunshine, aren't I?

(I will occasionally do this.)
I find that peoples answers vary based on how they use the words: Hate and Love

Some use "Hate" to simply mean large annoyance.
Others use it for more extreme things such as: Before leaving your residence you found out he was a serial killer, rapist, sexual trafficker, or.... etc.

Some use "Love" to simply mean a good companion.
Others use it for more meaningful things such as: The pet has been loyal to you for many years, saved your or the life of someone close to you, or.... etc.


Also, remember guys, this a hypothetical questions.
The point is to imagine that you are in this situation and then decide what you would do.

You do realize that by the time one person has died someone has already been born into the world right?

Eh. *shrugs* :meh:

then i guess we kill them too

And on that day, Jak became Super Hitler.

I'd save my pet(s). *shrugs* Don't really know any of my neighbors well enough to put my life on the line for them and, realistically, the few that I like live so far down the street that, by the time I noticed them, they'd be SOL. So, if it was for a neighbor I hated, combined with my misanthropic world views? Pfft! "STILTS-Y! MOMMA'S COMING TO SAVE YOU! D:"

I didn't say your life would be in danger, just that you could save him/her.

 

[Demi-fiend]

THIS.

If Jak's "super-hitler" then I'm "super-goebbels".

I know. ^^; I just naturally assumed that if someone else's life in on the line and I go to save them then that puts my life in danger, as well. >_> My apologies if I took it too literally. =)

If Jak's "super-hitler" then I'm "super-goebbels".

And I'm Batman. My work here is done. *ninjas out*

[KRSkull]

Sorry but i had to do this

 

[V]

I'd go for both because I don't like to lose anything. And then the jerkface would owe me big time?

my pet first

 

[Dante's Stalker]

Neighbour, even if I dislike them for x, y or z.
Not saying that human life is more valuable.
But I'm a realist. Chances are, my beloved pet would hightail the f outta there and/or will follow my command. They're more attuned to nature.
Humans, especially the really selfish and arrogant type, are downright stupid. They don't listen to reason or instinct at the best of times. There's a 70% chance the human would get hurt/die vs 30% chance a pet would.

You do realize that by the time one person has died someone has already been born into the world right?

And for every one born, there are 10 aborted and 10 abandoned to die. This excludes natural abortions and ectopic pregnancies and stillbirths. Add onto that how many people die every day, in war and crashes and murders, I think the human race is doing a brilliant job at eradicating itself.

 

[ToCool74]

The neighbor definitely.

I love my dog, but I still value human life above all other living species, even a human I hate.

That isn't enough to eradicate us

Remember, things used to be much much worse.
