very good

Milgram's 37. A child!!???? Rather than a puppy!!!???

id do it for whatever amount ther person would give me presuming sumone would kill it annyway

a) i would kill it as humanly as posable maby more so than other people would
b) id probably eat it as otherwize its a bit of a waist + be intresting to see what dog taisted of
c) its only a dog and i eat loads of meat all the time so i wudent feal to gulty

A tenner? But that's if it were a one-off and I had to kill it with my bare hands. If I had a knife and there were hundreds of puppies I'd accept an hourly rate. Or, like 10p a puppy. Whatever. Evidently I don't value the lives of puppies.

I'm looking for work at the moment, so if anyone needs any puppy-slaughterers I'm available.

yeah i caught that too, silver ... what a nutjob she is!

i wouldn't be able to do it ... regardless of the amount.

Well, I'm messed up for the day. This cures me of sifting for at least 5 hours.... Lunch break over

Sorry, sg.

I've had to put down pet birds that were hurt, (I used to have an aviary) and that's tough. Drowning is really easiest.

I don't think I could just kill a puppy for money, I'd like to be able to say I couldn't. Maybe if I could put him in a gas chamber or something, like they do at the pound. Maybe for a million bucks. Cash, before hand. Maybe.

lol, I lived. Actually I was back checking in on the comments in about under 3 hours

i would think that injection would be easier than drowning ... too much thrashing about whist gasping for air!

Pfft. If you're going to kill a puppy kill it properly - by grabbing its legs and swinging its head against a brick wall.

yet you downvote on the Hookah vid because of possible injury ... not quite sure i understand your logic on this one, gorillaman ... poor puppy!

He's just being a "guy" now

If I'd had an injection I would've used it. The two times I had to do it to a small bird I'd hold him tightly in a wash cloth. It didn't take long. It was better than what the cat had done to it beforehand, anyway...

This same old cat knew it was 'his time' and just disappeared into the woods. I thought that was rather considerate!

mlx ... i'm sure it wasn't easy.

lol @ swampgirl!

Evil but amusing video.

I resuced a seagull at the beach last year - literally: these kids were tormenting it with a stick or something. I was incredibly irritated by that - lousy parents!

Anyway, while I wanted to help, I also didn't feel like doing something stupid, so I went up to the local snack bar and got some dispoable gloves and a box - ironically an empty hot dog box was the perfect size to hold the wounded seagull.

Toronto has an animal ambulance, (seriously) but I was actually on our island, so it was going to take a long walk to get to the ferries, which would finally take me back to the mainland. Fortunatley I encountered a city works guy in a pickup truck - he kindly took the triage-box and said he would take it to the vet at the island zoo infirmary.

Oh sweet.

Heck, even if he couldn't save it (seagulls can be a nuisance and are incredibly numerous), at least it wouldn't have to suffer any longer. *Some* good hopefully came out of it.

10 bucks, for my time. a quick snap of the neck, done.
i raise rabbits for food... so this is no biggie

Leeweek has the correct, neck snapping is the way to go. Asphyxiation is a bad way to die, and injections are a cop-out.

@silvercord: Ain't a Milgram's experiment thingee, though. (I think that's what you're saying, right?) That was all about following the command of an authority figure, this is something different.

$1,000.

@westy: dog tastes kinda like fatty roast beef, but not as tasty. Wouldn't really recommend it except for being able to authoritatively tell people what dog tastes like when they ask.

"If God didn't want us to eat dogs, he wouldn't have made them out of meat."

This is an interesting question, I would use the "only kill for food" excuse when faced with this kind of dilemma, I eat meat, so being against killing a chicken, or cow etc would be hypocritical, then again, we all kill bugs all the time, like flies, mosquitoes etc.. and some bugs are for me harder to kill, such as spiders.. I guess you cant really not be hypocritical in these matters, unless you are a veggie, and when the mosquito bite, you'll let it finish and go "fly my little angel!, take my blood and feed your hungry children". In that case, you'd just be a wierdo.

This reminds me of a video on YouTube that is really difficult to watch. It's linked at the bottom of the video summary on this post and should only be viewed by persons lacking a weak stomach or a strong love of canines.

haha.. the 50 cents girl was funny. and then later the guy was like 'you're not touching this puppy'.

i was expecting some guy to seriously say $50. and then ask who he has to pay.

yep, agree with Ratrace, that was funny at 6:11 when she calls their bluff

Well, it would have to be an amount covering the impending fine/lawsuit for animal cruelty, and still turn a profit. A little over $50,000 should do it

I've never killed anything but insects (well I ran over a squirrel once), and I don't think I could do it.

Maybe for a nice car I'd consider backing over one.

I wonder if I could kill a puppy with one hit of my fist.

Fifty cents. But only if I get to call it "Bill O'Reilly" first.

My cousin can kill a large dog with just one punch.

oh MY GAWD

"What would you do [to kill a child]?"

"just squeeze it really hard i guess"

the psychologist in me wants to point out a few things: robert cialdini, a research psychologist has written extensively on how people can be persuaded to do stuff they wouldn't normally do.

two such conditions under which a significant amount of people could be forced into killing a puppy are:

1. authority condition (as in the milgram experiment)
2. manipulation of the consistency and commitment effect


wikipedia article here:

here's an example of what i'm talking about, where derren brown psychologically manipulates a woman into killing a kitten:

I wish they had shown more of the crazy chick with the baret. She went RIGHT for the dog and they guy pulled back. I mean, its pretty obvious that they have no intention of ever letting someong hurt the dog (at least I want to believe that), but that chick is just icky.

Donate half the money you get to the Humane Society (or a similar organization) and you could very well save the lives of multiple dogs. Along with freedom from prosecution (if they could guarantee such a thing), that would seem like more than enough reason to kill the puppy. =)
