Whats the point, if it was a killer puppy trying to kill me I would HAVE to kill it, but if it is doing nothing wrong, why the **** would you kick it!

You know why I would kick the person?AlexNora said:
Because they should understand that what they did was wrong and greedy. They have potentially ruined this puppy's life with serious injury (that can be up to 15 years of suffering, and for a dog that is always loyal to a good owner, and lives to enjoy life and run full speed ahead all the time, a crippling injury is as bad as it gets) for $15 F---ing dollars?
The person was a greedy bastard and deserves to get the kick in return, the puppy does not know greed, evil, right or wrong. Animals son't understand these concepts, we do. But that does not make them stupid, it does make them unable to feel pain, unable to suffer or understand that it is getting hurt by the one who kicked it.
So just because you have an advantage in size and intelligence you should injure and take advantage of this puppy to get, of all things, richer?
Humans are always more beautiful than stupid dogs?
Humans can be cruel, evil, greedy and many more. Animals are pure, they do not understand, or need to understand these things, and to injure one for such a trivial reason just goes to show that you are, at the very least, greedy and slightly uncaring.
How people treat animals is a good indicator of how they would treat other people if they had such an advantage over them, it shows how caring you are to those lower in the pecking order than yourself. And from this I can say that I am glad you have no power over me.
I like this answer, very much.Jark212 said:
People who think that cruelty and greed are just fine deserve this. Especially cruelty and greed towards animals that won't understand what is happening, that haven't done anything wrong.
It's amazing that we still live in such times as these.frozen_scarecrow said:
Also, $5 is fuck all; it equates to £2.70-ish, which would buy you a 2 pints of cravendale milk and perhaps some cheap biscuits.
Now then, taking the life of someone who'd answer yes to this kind of thing for 5 "dollars"? Sure, it'd be doing the world a favour.
NO, that is sapient, sentient means that it feels and makes sense of the world around itself. Sapient means it has Intelligent thought and reasoning like humans do. Big difference. Most animals are very much sentient (I only say most because there MIGHT be some that aren't, but I do not know of them).Romidude said:
This is not the same as eating pigs. Kicking the puppy for 5 dollars, well, that's just mean. It serves no purpose other than getting a little money. It's not enough to make up for anything.
Eating a pig however that serves for getting a tasty meal with plenty of proteins and fat. I would never hurt an animal for such a lame reason on purpose ever.

I'd kick whoever's offering and steal the 5 bucks so I can buy a snack for the puppy.
I love animals, and don't really like humans.
It's an emotional thing, I DO in fact have faith in humanity.

If it was a kitten, then I would have no moral problems with kicking it, I hate cats so you get why, a puppy on the other hand would technically be a genetic distant cousin so it would be like kicking a person that you know is related to you through the fact somewhat looking like you and some odd sense of kin, just one more adorable then a bloody human. (and no i'm not going to explain that genetic skullf*ck petri dish)
prove its wrong to kick a puppy don't just say it is. it is not wrong to kick a puppy or kill a duck to... I don't know stuff it, or grind up a cow for a hamburger, or use animals in medical test to save a human life or to just to test stuff.brandon237 said:
humans are more beautiful then animals, "even the naiz's where cute when there where little you know, why cant they stay small but ..."
I'm perfectly willing to do pretty much anything if I have a good reason for it. But kicking a puppy for $5? Hell no. That's just pathetic.
That's what the "trivial reason" thing is trying to get at. There are some situations in which it is definitely okay to hurt an animal, such as in self-defense. Very few people would disagree with that, so I felt it wouldn't be worth it to include an option for that.Chemical Horse said:
Having a little staffy puppy of my very own I really wouldn't kick a puppy of Any kind for any amount of money. However I would quite happily kick the person who kicked sed puppy Probs into next week

If that to you does not make it wrong, then you are someone on the selfish to psychopath spectrum.
I am okay with using animals for food or to save lives, but not for the purpose of making money (ie: cosmetic tests, you have prisoners for that), entertainment (hunting) or just cause (stuffing it, also falls into money).
Yeah, but the nazi's grew up to be evil, genocidal bastards, the puppy won't, no animal will. Their moral simplicity is what makes animals beautiful, they do what they must to survive, they do not cause harm they must not, they have no need for laws or politics that change. If that is not beautiful, then nothing is, no system ever will be.
Nope, me getting 5 $ wouldn't outweigh the pain/harm inflicted on the puppy.
In fact, it wouldn't even outweigh the great discomfort I would feel from my conscience, and thus it'd be foolish deed even when disregarding the interests of the puppy.

1) No.
2) Not that puppy either, no.
3) $15 is still an insignificant amount of money to do something heartless (because you specified that one would have to inflict real harm/injury upon the puppy to be awarded the money).
4) Yes, if it was YOUR puppy. Why? Because you made this poll.Joking. I still wouldn't kick your puppy.

Thankfully, my latest move hasn't brought that issue into play. I've definitely entertained that notion at some previous abodes, though.kman123 said:
That'd be my #5. After I kick his puppy due to the absurd poll.Still joking. I'd only kick the person.Monkfish Acc. said:
I really don't care that you think animals have intelligence (witch they don't they have instinct nothing more)but by your logic even the ones we eat should have intelligence and killing them should be wrong. no its not for food its for money think about all the food that goes to waste in the US. you gonna cry about that to? kicking a dog is like kicking a brick the only reason you might not do it is because you could hurt your foot. don't let the cuteness of a puppy stir up your emotions and cloud your logic.(and yes I do think puppy's are cute)you clearly place the idea of a dog higher then me, and instead of using logic to try and win your argument you go around trying to insulting/hurt me. make better choices become a wise person kill the animals save the babies!brandon237 said:
