Question #54

Question #211 from "The Book of Questions" by Gregory Stock, PH.D.

Would $100,000 be enough money to induce you to take a loyal, healthy pet to the vet to be put to sleep??

If not, what amount of money would?

Explain.

No!

I think animals have spirits and they love and care for us ... to do that would be like killing a friend or a family member.

No .... None ... no amount ....

Absolutely no freaking way - there is not enough money to entice me to put one of my pets down when he/she is healthy. My animals are part of the family, and any one else trying this is in for big trouble.

Absolutely NOT !!!!!
No amount of money would induce me to put a healthy, loyal pet to sleep.
My pets are beloved members of my family.
It has always been traumatic when I lost one.

Would my dogs put me down for a lifetime's supply of milkbones?

Not a chance.
I don't currently have a pet, but even in theory I find this idea offensive...yuk.

Nope, and there is not enough money to make me do that.

No. My pets are part of my family. I wouldn't put my kids down, so why my pet?

Depends on the animal.

If it is the psycho, fence-eating, freakazoid dog we have in the backyard, then on certain days, I'd take less.

I'm telling you, she is a FREAK...in a bad way - eats the wood door frames, rips up carpet, has been on puppy valium for YEARS and the vet can't figure her out. Some days, she's sweet as can be, and other days....ugh.

Multiple personalities in a dog is NOT a pretty sight.

Okay, sorry - just read the WHOLE question again -

I would not question my freak-dog as "healthy", and I still keep her around, so yeah, if she were healthy, there'd be no amount of money I'd take to put her down.

But, she's a freak as I said, and we still keep her around...go figure.
