Would you kill a puppy if it was your job?
Well?
No. But I'd gladly take all of you puppy killers on.
So you wouldn't kill a puppy, but you'd end a human life? (serious question )
I will become death incarnate to fight for and protect those that cannot fight for themselves.
*tries to wipe away puppy blood*
Oh this? I just had a bbq ribs and got really messy.
And then I massacred a bunch of cute puppies. Damn it. What I meant to say was, I didn't just massacre a bunch of puppies and sell their hides to an evil fashion designer.

We arent talking about killing your own petExcept puppies and cows obviously have very different cultural significance... Western people don't eat pets.

Yes, it's just like some sort of elaborate game of make believe, that there is some fundamental distinction of validity between the subjectivities of animals we label as pets and animals we label as food. Because obviously, dogs aren't pets everywhere in the world. Cows aren't food everywhere in the world either. Lots of kids on farms grow up making friends with particular animals from the livestock. I had a lamb friend as a child that was owned by my grandmother. But those animals get eaten at the dinner table just the same.

This question is asked in every forum, might as well put it in this one too.
A cute adorable and nice little puppy.
You could kill it and get $1000000.
You could only use that money for yourself (or friends and stuff). What I mean is that you can't kill the puppy and give all the money to a foundation to save puppies or something. You could only buy yourself a iPod and go with your friends in a trip, ect.
Would you? And do you think it's right to do?
Bus thi sis also assuming that people become vegetarian solely because of the animals. I'm a pescatarian but it's largely due to the cultural food I was raised with. Everyone has their own reasons to eat or not eat meat.Heaps of people on here who pay to eat animal flesh are like "OMG! I could never kill puppy! That is too horrible!!" But actually, there's nothing to stop you from eating the puppy after you kill it, and a million dollars is a much, much higher evaluation of the cost of its life than whatever you would pay for cow parts. So get over yourself.
I think you misunderstand the emotional significance of cats and dogs (especially puppies and kittens) to most of us 'moderns.' They have been bred to mimic and respond as human children do for ~30,000-some years. Dogs resemble us more than they do their canidae ancestors, much like horses exist as companions, but never food.
