I've got a tremendous weakness for wittle fuzzy kittens. Sanctity of human life or not, people would outright kick me in the balls for not going Hellboy on the matter and saving the cats. And if they didn't, I would.
Cute kittens versus dirty homeless people.

Rather odd and incredibly unlikely scenario is it not?
First off this is coming from a guy who has had lot's of human's let him down or outright bully him while living around animals and pet's who have been generally incredibly kind-hearted and understanding
It would depend on ALOT of different factors for me, the idea of pitting an animal vs a human life is a difficult one for me, it generally depends on my relationship with either of them, assuming I have no idea who either of them are and saving either one is equally risky in every way... ehhh I would probably save homeless guy, but yeah... either way I'm going to be feeling guilty for the rest of my life... If it's not that simple (which is very likely) it would depend on my relationship with either party, if one is less risky to save than the other etc.
If I know the kittens and don't know the homeless guy, I gotta be honest i'm saving kittens
If I know the homeless guy is an assholish drunkard with no family... well call me crazy or whatever but screw the human asshole, i'm saving kittens, that said though if I know homeless guy and he's a generally kind and decent human being and I don't know kittens I'd save homeless guy
Overall for you TL;DR it would depend on alot of different thing's but overall if it's a random stranger vs a random animal... I would lean towards animals but only slightly more, the second I know the homeless man is an asshole... yup he gunna die

I don't really like cats, they're pretty much vermin where I live.
But I do value life equally, to hold the life of one man, who has nothing but a negative effect of society, compared to ten other lives, I would probably choose the ten lives.
Puppies would be better though, they don't destroy the ecosystem as badly.

I don't want to admit that any ol' human life is worth more than a cat's. But if I actually found myself in the situation, I'd instinctively go for the smelly bum first.
I'd call emergency services. Pretty sure that means the kittens (or puppies) are fucked (pretty low priority on rescue list). The homeless mans life depends on his survival instincts and how bad traffic is.
That's me being completely honest with myself. I feel like that would be my reaction to any horrible crisis situation, even if it involved family or a friend. I just don't think I'm the heroic type. I mean, I'd want to be the guy who wraps a wet rag around my head and arms and who braves the flames, but I would most likely panic and do nothing at all.
As for the question of who I would save if I wasn't such a wittle baby? Homeless man. I'll feel fucking terrible for the kittens but I couldn't live with the thoughts of another human burning alive if I had the capacity to do something about it.
Strangely though, and depressingly so, I would be more likely to help a stray kitten or puppy then I would help a homeless man if it wasn't a life or death situation. Yay! I'm a horrible person!
