No, not in the slightest, human life is far more precious than the lives of any pet.

Pets may be dear to us but every pet can be replaced and as sad as that sounds it's the truth. You can literally go to the pet store and adopt a new one but a human being can't be replaced so easily.

A father cannot be replaced in the life of a child and a child cannot be replaced in the eyes of a parent. Yes we form strong bonds with our pets and animals, I should know, I have a few myself but their lives can never matter more than another humans life. Over the course of a lifetime, most people will outlive their pets and get new ones then outlive them again. If you out live a brother, a lover, a cousin or whoever, you can't replace them with someone else.

If a choice was to be made between a pet life and another human being, just remember that a pet can be replaced with another one that looks and will probably behave like the other one, but a human being cannot be replaced so easily.

This is a very sensitive issue but I guess with musing, topics like this are healthy.

One thing I'd like to remind is even if it's a pet, or another living thing - it is still life. It's all about how thinking a lot of circumstances and the type of people who would you like to react.

The fact is, people have different judgment and everyone has their opinion. For me, it depends on the situation and of course your personal preference. While most of the time we should follow the society's moral and standard, everyone would expect human beings should be treated with utmost care.

But to ourselves and the people who understand our burden, valuing our pet's life is more of a "feeling" rather than importance.

That's a very big no, No matter how much attachment you have towards that pet, it shouldn't be valued over the life of another human being like yourself.

It's all shades of wrong, and simply means you see other humans as lesser beings whose lives are worthless than that of your pet.

In my opinion, anybody that values the life of a pet over the life of another human being no matter the circumstances is capable of murder.

In a nutshell, no it's not okay to value the life of your let over that of another human
