a very serious question.

[James_Potter]

okay guys...tell me, how much money would it take you to kill a puppy with your BARE HANDS (http://oldeenglish.org/puppy.html).

[hagbag14]

this is really sick humor but that was kinda funny... I could never kill a dog with my bare hands though.... if there was a dog with like rabbies i could shoot it but not like kill it with my bare hands

[Chris Heritage]

U sick sick person!!!

WTF is wrong with you!!!??????/

[skate4flip]

oh wow. all the people were saying thousands or millions and then that one girl said 50 cents! Then when they went to have them kill the puppy none of them would do it, but the girl that said 50 cents was like "alright give me the puppy" and then the guy with puppy said "im not letting you touch this dog".

[James_Potter]

haha, yeah, that one girl was horrible...I bet she would do it too...I could never do that. seriously man, I don't even kill bugs. well, if they hurt me first, i.e. sting or bite, then maybe.
but only if they really deserve it. and sometimes not even then, like if I deserved to get stung or bitten.

I bet you would if you had so many bugs it drove you to this:
http://www3.telus.net/public/twalcott/images/bugmask.jpg

and just to point out: the main purpose for the smoke he has in his mouth is intended for keeping the bugs away from his face. High concentration DEET only works so well... smoke is what really does the trick. The pic is not of me for the record.

That's my summer job you'd think I'd learn after 3 years of it.

[boo radley]

i'd do it just to get the giant check.

[unicycle2280]

I'd probably go for 75 bucks. Maybe less.

That looks like me at my field site doing my PhD research!
I got Lymes disease (better now) from ticks and one day I counted the bites I got on the underside of my forearm through the bug-mesh jacket. I got 62.


I know what it's like.

[andrew_carter]

Unless it was self defense I couldn't do it.

[Brian MacKenzie]

Unless it was self defense


............from a puppy...........

[chosen]

i would do it for maybe 5000 dollars. but id eat it afterward so i wouldnt feel bad, and it would be like hunting. and that video was hilarious.

EDIT: would you do it for any amount of money pothead?

[Radical Reed]

id do it for $1 000 000 mayby less, but not likley

[monkeyman]

I couldn't kill a puppy,...I love dogs

[U-Turn]

I got Lymes disease (better now) from ticks Twice here... both times I caught it right away, and both times knocked me flat for over a month. I lost a financial relationship with a major publisher because of it.

[koebwil]

Unless it was self defense I couldn't do it.
............from a puppy...........Thank you Brian, that was the joke.

[the0sum]

i could maybe kill a chiwawa just because i hate those things... but it would be hard to get me to kill any other dog because dogs are awosme. so... $5000

[nick]

It depends on how badly I needed the money. Right now, about a grand (USD) would do it.

For those that say "no amound of money" what about if someone you loved, or even some random perosn really needed it for a medical procedure? (Some random person really does need the money for a medical procedure, all the time, so you could donate it).

I don't think that girl would have killed the puppy.

If someone needed it to live, I still wouldn't do it. Doesn't a puppy have as much of a right to live as that person?

[boo radley]

we're getting away from the real question. you could rationalize doing any horrible thing if the only alternative is something worse. the question isn't "would you kill the puppy or let your best friend die of cancer because he can't afford treatment". the question is "if i hand you some money right now, will you kill it?"

[koebwil]

I wouldn't do it. Just flat out. The puppy has a right to live, and I don't have any right to kill him/her.

You are either a vegan or a hypocrite, which is it?

[musketman]

DANG... A PUPPY? hOW COULD U KILL A LITTLE HELPLESS PUPPY?

ON THE OTHER HAND I CAN SAY NOW THAT FOR ALOT OF MONEY I WOULD DO IT, BUT WHEN THE TIME COMES I DONT THINK I COULD.

tHINK OF YOU JUST FEELING THE DOG GET CRUSHED AND BREAK ITS NECK WITH YOUR BARE HANDS:eek:

I don't know, this one looks pretty vicious to me... :)

[IsaacSLeMasters]

sam (http://samugliestdog.com/)is already dead. and not a minute too soon.

[trials_uni]

no i couldnt kill a pippy unless it was extremely extenuating circumstances...a puppy would have to like chomp my manhood off before id even hit it. i dont even kno if i could kill a puppy to save my own life...not with my bare hands anyways.

[julie]

how dare you even think of killing a puppy

[Murde Mental]

how dare you even think of killing a puppy

This might have nothing to do with killing a puppy buuuuuuuut I did run over an owl on my muni.

[Spudman]

I hit bunnies in my car a lot, and I do drive it with bare hands...

EDIT: I'm accepting donations...

[James_Potter]

are you serious?
was it alive?
was it small?
did you UPD?
did you laugh?
were you sad?

[gollum89]

i would do it for one dollar less than everyone else so I would get the job (money) whats the problem? A little smack on the neck and its done

[dale_dale]

i would do it for one dollar less than everyone else

in that case ill do it £0

so you have to pay the guy who want u to kill the puppy

[Probailer2]

Even if the bid me 10000000000000000000000000000000€ I will not do it.
I won't hurt animals.
They are (allmost) like human's.

[trials_uni]

but thin it fou had $1000000000000000000000000000000 then you could donate alot of it to all the animal shelters and save enormous ammounts of puppies that would other wise be put down...

[UniTyler]

I got Lymes disease.

Wow, glad you're better! My grandma's neighbor (right down the street from us) just died because of Lymes. :(

hes riht itsone life hundreds saved... sill sick though killing a puppy

[Spudman]

What kind of a puppy is it?

[dale_dale]

probs a rely rely rely rely cute one ... with big puppy eyes

not one of them ugly ones

[James_Potter]

What kind of a puppy is it?
watch the video, it shows the kind they need to kill.

[HackUpABoulderHackHack]

This hits kind of a personal beef (pardon) with me.

People get all kinds of offended when a cute little animals are killed or harmed, but have no problems eating other animals who are often just as intelligent or affectionate and have lived lives in horrible horrible conditions

I think the price of a puppy death should be on par with the cost per pound of veal.

A rack of Veal can be purchased from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000CEGC6/002-1344691-0562407?v=glance&vi=variations) of all places, for $139.98, or $35.00 a pound.

Therefore I think carniverous people should be willing to kill a 10lb puppy for roughly $350.

[chosen]

how much would it cost you to kill potter with your bare hands?

[HackUpABoulderHackHack]

How much does he weigh?

Kidding! I have adverse reactions to prison time and/or death penalties.

how much would it cost you to kill potter with your bare hands?

[phlegm]

okay guys...tell me, how much money would it take you to kill a puppy with your BARE HANDS (http://oldeenglish.org/puppy.html).

For me, it depends on what the money could be used for. If, say for example, I could end world hunger with the money, then I would do it. I'm all about choosing the lesser of evils.

[Fly04066814]

They do it all the time in thailand...adult dogs .....

they kill dogs in thailand, and they kill cows and pigs and chickens for meat, true. but they don't do it with there bare hands, which is the thing. I am also very offended by factory farming done to benefit McDonald's and other places like that...I'm not against eating meat though. I think its fine for people to go hunting on their own to feed their family, I think thats a good thing...but factory farming, nah way man, thats just cruel.

almost like humans..but far very off

I would do it for that much money

u could do so much good things with that money, it would be worth killing the puppy.

I resent that

I'd kill that puppy for like $50 or so. I'd rape it too for another 50.

Dead puppies aren't much fun. The puppy would probably just end up rotting somewhere without being useful for anything. Veal you can eat.
If they had used a rabbit or some other edible animal I'd have killed it if they had let me have it afterwards.

I guess I could eat it, and use the fur for something. But I don't want to, so the only reason to kill it would be the money.

[GILD]

I read this whole thread hoping to read Yooper's take on the issue.

Why pay money when PETA (http://www.petakillsanimals.com/) will apparantly do it for free?

I loved the bits in the video where somebody would say "$2m" and the presenter immediately counters with "You wouldn't do it for one million?"

To me an allied question would be "Do you think you're able to kill a puppy with your bare hands?" Forget about motivations and justifications and rewards and oversized cheques. In the most Heinlein (http://www.daveeveritt.org/insects/specialisation.htm)esque (http://www.elise.com/quotes/a/heinlein_specialization_is_for_insects.php) sense of the question, could you do it?
