    I think you guys are misunderstanding what Brits mean by that… They value both very little.

    Kind of a weird question IMO. I don’t even think animal lives are worth the same as animal lives. Is a single deer’s life the same as a single ant’s life?

    I consider myself to be kind and thoughtful towards people and animals – I’ll save snails or worms that I find while gardening, but I also will kill mosquitos that are inside my house, and move spiders outside where they will potentially die.

    This isn’t even getting into “special” animals like pets

    I would also answer “Human lives are worth the same as animal lives”, simply because Humans are animals.

    Never trust the answers to questionnaires with such basic mistakes.

    Interesting (or, perhaps, expected) that the more progressive/left leaning demographics correlate with a higher proportion valuing human and animal life equally. Sort of makes sense and I’m glad to see it.

    The search term you’re after is NRS social grade. It’s a UK demographics thing.

    My cat is worth more than a lot of humans.

    Seriously, why no Liberal or Green voters?

    delusion at it’s finest, humans are supposedly the smartest beings on this planet and yet this proportion of them are wasting their heads worrying about their former burgers’ life, if the animals were meant to be worth as much as us, they would have developed metalworking by now
