The only way I'm kickin' a puppy is if it would somehow stop a nuclear war.

Think about it. The people would be evil geniuses of the highest caliber(or maybe even Cobra level!) to implant a nuclear device that could only be disarmed by kicking an adorable puppy. Even more evil would be is if you had to do while it was looking at you(with its big puppy eyes) and with its fuzzy head cocked to the side and with its waggly tail wagging with happiness at seeing you.

Or if it was chewing on the detonator and I didn't have time to nudge em off.

Or it was a zombie puppy.

Other than those three oddly specific events, I won't be kickin' a puppy.

I would kick a puppy for a notably large some of money, yes, but it would have to be atleast a few hundred. Ofcourse I would spend a portion to make it up to the dog.
I wont pretend I dont have my price, but Im not soulless...well, I might be, but thats a religious argument.

The only way I'm going to kick a dog is if said dog is a ***** (or son of a *****, as the case may be) in more ways that one. In other words, I would only hurt a dog in self-defense.

So there was a topic recently about eating intelligent pigs, and apparently people like the taste of bacon more than they like the idea of not eating rational creatures. This disturbed me a little bit, even if a lot of the replies were probably tongue in cheek.

In response, I'm trying to come up with a situation where people might have their intuitions go the other way about animals. Imagine a cute puppy. If you can't, here's some help.


Would you kick that puppy for $5?

Edit: Some people have asked how hard you have to kick the puppy. You have to kick it hard enough to hurt it significantly, but not hard enough to kill it. You might cause it severe or permanent injury; that uncertainty is part of the problem.

Double edit: Some people have responded that $5 is not a whole lot of money. Let's make it $15. Hopefully that would be enough to make it worth your time, without affecting the moral issue.
Don't you think the "how hard do you have to kick it" questions are more chain yanking?

This is the kind of trivial evil that tends to haunt my conscience for years afterward. No, I wouldn't kick the puppy for $15 if I had to kick it hard enough to potentially cause significant injury.

Your answer, kind sir. Is no.

Last time I checked, puppies do not = bacon. Plus, puppies are adorable, unlike ugly pigs. So no, I would not kick an adorable puppy, nor a pig. However, I would feast on the flesh of the pig.

Even if you added 5 more 0s to that I wouldn't do it.

I'm a Buddhist you see and even if I wasn't (which was quite recent) I wouldn't have done it.

No 15$ is still a trivial amount. But if it was an impressive number I'd do it. I wouldn't feel comfortable but I'd just clench my teeth and get it over with.

Hey now. I'm not saying you should kick a puppy.

See I would eat that puppy, if it tasted good and I was hungry.

I wouldn't just kill it and leave the corpse to rot, or kick it to death for no reason.

Maybe so, but until it either is bacon or looks like it (and stops being so adorable) I refuse to feast on its flesh.
