Human beings are not property like pets.
If pets were solely property, there would not be animal abuse laws and Michael Vick would never have been prosecuted for his egregious offenses against dogs. However, animals and pets are also living creatures, and thus there are specific laws to protect them.
Right, cause laws are the end all be all of whats right and wrong eh?
I didn't just cite laws. If we're incapable of feeling compassion when another living creature is suffering and dying... Well, IIRC, that's a symptom of sociopathy.
So if a plant were left in a hot car you would condone breaking the window and saving it from dieing? Its a living being after all. Or how about something as miniscule as a gold fish. A toad? A rat? Same scenario.
Nice conflation.
A plant likely would not be in severe distress due to being left in a hot car. Their physiology is different from animals, and they can handle these sorts of temperatures, typically.
Goldfish, toads, rats--yes. All of them would be likely to die in that situation, though perhaps the goldfish would have better luck being surrounded by water. The issue is, it's less likely we'd be able to see those small animals as opposed to a dog.
