Note that you had to stop at toddler. 

Every Toddler is basically a sociopath... however as we grow from such an age, we develop morals and much more abstract thought processes.

To compare animal motivations with human ones is in general to greatly oversimplyfy things.

Human motivation is MUCH more complicated and is much more involved.


Oh I pretty much agree, but we're still animals both biologically and in our most basic imperatives. We just have fancy window dressing on top. All humans are is animals where intelligence has been kicked up a notch or two.


Which makes human's very different and special.

Just how Animals are more valuable then plants do to their far superior cognitive functions.


Given the choice between being forced to kill a dog and a cat, your choice is just going to be base on which animal you like more. 

Given the choice between killing a dog and a human like creature with human like intellegence.  You're going Dog every time.

 

ehh, depends on the dog. Any random dog, probably, but if you were forced to kill your dog or that jerk that just cut you off on the highway, it's probably the driver that's going down

Hitler liked dogs, though i regret invoking Godwin's law here, it does drive the point home.

Not really, i mean your making an emotional arguement to sway the situation, and even then, i think MOST people would kill their own dog over someone who cut them off when faced with both.
