I hate the attitude that animals don't matter.
Is it Buddhists that believe in reincarnation and we could return as some kind of insect or animal.They would not kill any animal-- Is that true?
I trust my dogs rather than trust most human beings.

I do agree with you, but I don't think anyone has expressed that animals don't matter, merely that the priority here is for the humans.
I mean, you seem to adore animals and you sound like a wonderful breeder (as I remember you mentioned a while back), but your dogs depend on
you. They need you to feed them, look after them, discipline them and so forth. The thing is what would happen if something happened to
you? If you were - God forbid - injured or on Death's door, who would look after your animals then? They'd starve and suffer and perhaps die, too, if no one found them in time.
Animals need humans to survive in many circumstances, so its surely our duty to prioritise the humans
so that the animals stand a fighting chance. If we don't have people to correct the current situations involving environment, resources, and so forth then the animals are doomed regardless. It is because humans
are responsible for the animals that we must look after ourselves first, in order to be in a position where we
can look after the animals.
