Reply #2: What you see here isn't a mere DU occurence...it's a human phenomenon.

Take the movie "Independence Day". There is a scene where LA is blowing up and Will Smith's wife, child, and Dog are in a car in a tunnel. The explosion comes toward them and people are dying left and right...but the Dog...oh the Dog makes it with the wife and kid in the nick of time.

Maybe it's because there are so many of us. Maybe it's because we secretly hate each other deep down. Maybe we expect our fellow (wo)man to use their head and smarts animals may not possess. It's a job for the shrinks to say the least.

Now I love animals and hate to see them suffering...but our inhumane dehumanization of humans is a fascinating occurrence, no?
