How many dogs' lives are worth one human life?

Suppose you can save only one: either one random human being or X number of random dogs. These are random dogs in animal shelters, not anyone's pet, and the one person in question is a homeless guy with no known family or close friends.

If you could only save one, the human being or so many dogs, what would be the tipping point where their lives are worth about the same.

southernyankee	posted 18-Feb-2009 4:27pm I would say roughly 101 to 200? Off course I care about people more than dogs, but only up to some point. I wonder what other people will say.

kcthedog	posted 21-Feb-2009 11:58pm All life is equally valuable but as a human I would save a human life first and or a dogs life not by compareing the relative value but by how sucessful I would be be saving "a" life.
dilfreak	(reply to Iseult) posted 29-May-2009 2:25am So what's your point?
Iseult	(reply to dilfreak) posted 29-May-2009 2:41pm My point is that you're a hypocrite.
dilfreak	(reply to Iseult) posted 2-Jun-2009 2:02pm so because I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I am expected to believe everything they tell me to believe? Sure I admit the act of harming animals is wrong, but did I ever say I wanted to harm them? No... i just wouldn't care if they were.
Iseult	(reply to dilfreak) posted 2-Jun-2009 5:39pm So not caring about other lives is part your belief?
dilfreak	(reply to Iseult) posted 3-Jun-2009 12:36pm I'm not sure what you are implying by "other lives". If by "other" you mean animals, then yes I don't care about them and that is my belief (not my churches). I don't believe animals should be put on the same plane as mankind.
