Lady Gaga offers $500k reward for her dogs

[J842P]

She could offer an award to find the guy who shot the dog walker. That she values her dogs over human life definitely makes her woke.

Dunno about that, a lot of people value an animal’s life over human life or as being equal. Some people are just over the top about it.

But there is no reason to think on the basis of her actions as described here that she values the lives of her dogs more than the life of the dog walker, only that she values the lives of her dogs more than she values punishment of those who unjustly wounded the dog walker. If the dog walker had been kidnapped and the dogs shot while trying to protect him, would she not have offered a reward for the safe liberation of the man? We don't know that.

Apart from that, imagine how a dog owner feels if they are informed their dog was killed in a car crash vs. how they feel if they read in the newspaper that there was a plane crash with, say, 200 dead in a distant country. Of course, that does not mean that given the choice, they would save their dog over those people. They wouldn't. So, things are more complicated; when it's their choice, there are moral obligations involved, the lives of those humans come to the forefront, etc.; but in general, the above tells me that they value their dog more than the strangers where they are not involved. And that is unsurprising, given that humans are social animals. This case is different, of course, as she knows the dog walker, but I mean in general valuing one's own dogs more is common human behavior.

Yeah, exactly.

I don't think you need to value the dog's life over the human's life just because you offered money for the dog's return. It's not like they have both the dog walker and the dogs being ransomed.

I'm fining it hard to see what the woke angle is here... pop star has dogs stolen, offers rewards for safe return ... seems pretty banal, actually.

Conservotards see people monetizing that which is beyond their reach and they go crazy. It has ever been so.

A sad state of affairs that a person can be shot in the street and that is banal. But I guess it is these days. If this incident didn't have the Lady Gaga angle it would have just been another shooting in LA.

It's because the anti-woke crowd already sees Lady Gaga as the antichrist, and interprets anything she does as part of the conspiracy. If it were Ted Cruz offering up a hefty reward to recover his family's kidnapped dogs, there would not be a thread about it, and anyone who dared criticize him would be skewered for daring to insult good-old fashioned American family values. Worrying about the dog walker instead of worrying about the feelings of Ted's children would be protrayed as a communist plot.

You're complaining about the wrong rich people.

I don't know what you mean by "these days". The chance of being a shooting victim in the United States has always been high. Indeed, despite a recent uptick (which I'm just assuming for the sake of argument), it is still probably lower today than in past decades (the 90s, 80s, 70s).

Ryan Fisher seems to be awake and well enough to be tweeting up a storm. He's retold his version of the robbery several times, and just been sort of generally sweet about all of it aside from his perspectives on the robbers themselves, who it sounds like he (understandably) wouldn't mind murdering. https://people.com/crime/lady-gaga-dog-walker-ryan-fischer-opens-up-robbery/

"while a car sped away and blood poured from my gun shot wound, an angel trotted over and laid next to me. My panicked screams calmed as I looked at her, even though it registered that the blood pooling around her tiny body was my own. I cradled Asia as best I could, thanked her for all the incredible adventures we'd been on together, apologized that I couldn't defend her brothers, and then resolved that I would still try to save them… and myself."

. . .

"A lot of healing still needs to happen, but I look forward to the future and the moment when I get bombarded with kisses and licks (and maybe even an excitement pee?) from Asia, Koji, and Gustav."

He's worried about being shot by Blacks. When white cowboys shoot each other in a fair fight down on the old ranch, that's different.
