VIDEO: A man tried to buy people's dogs for $100k

[Nitros14]

I'd sell my pets for 100k. Not much thought needed.

[kasuke06]

The one smart guy in the entire video.

I'd be like "FUCKING SOLD!" in a heartbeat. Then I'd buy 5 dogs and swim in my pile of remaining cash. Kind of hilarious that people were saying that their dog was unique... Umm... no. Your dog is not really all that unique.

Don't get me wrong, I love dogs, but $100,000? Yeah fuck that. You can eat my dog for $100,000.

Money literally can replace a fluffy snuggling doggo in your arms. It can replace that ~1,000 times. You could basically trade your single dog for an army of dogs.

Wow, thought I was heartless. A dog isn't a TV. GTFO the gene pool.

Of course it is unique. Because it's mine. Because there are feelings attached to it. It's a family member. All my family members are unique to me, even if there are millions people like them.

People sell dogs all the time. When you first aquire your dog, it is likely you purchased it. So what is the difference?

Feelings obviously.

All those videos are fake anyway

Breeders are a different thing.

Prostitutes sell sex all the time, too. Doesn't mean everyone should.

[Kathandira]

Feelings obviously.

I've lived with an owned pets since I was born. Many at a time. I've worked in vet clinics, and my g/f has been a vet tech for 10+ years. I still wouldn't have a problem with selling a dog for $100,000. Sure, i'd be sad to see them leave. But i'd get over it. Just like I get over any pet who passes away. But that is just me.

[Deleted]

No our dogs are part of the family, can't sell them love them to much.

[Crissi]

No thanks. I love my pets too much. They all have individual personalities.

and really, 100k isn't that much *shrug*

[Docturphil]

Wow, thought I was heartless. A dog isn't a TV. GTFO the gene pool.

Heartless? No. I love dogs. I just don't think they're priceless. I could let one go for $100,000.

I understand why you might think I'm heartless, but I just have different priorities than you do. That doesn't mean I'm going to take any dog I might own in the future and try to pawn it off for a large sum of money. No, I'd love that dog just like anyone else... until someone came up to me and offered $100,000 for it. Sure, I'd miss the dog at first, but I'd get over it. You have to get over your dog anyways when it dies. Why not make some money out of it?

[Kathandira]

If I didn't have 2 car loans and 2 student loans to worry about in our household, I would agree that it isn't that much money. But that is pretty much $1,000 a month that I could take off my plate.

Then you haven't been attached to the animals as much as some other people.

Also working at vet clinic makes your heart a bit colder, happens with human doctors and nurses, too. When you see shit happen and people/animals die, you become more numb.

You don't love dogs just like anyone else. You don't do, or even consider, such thing on someone you love. Be it an animal or a person.

I wouldn't say I haven't been attached to the animals we're owned. I've shed countless tears over the loss of my pets who have passed away.

Perhaps i'm just less emotionally co-dependent than some others.

because my dog is like my family, and only inhuman monsters sell family.

There's a word for that: hypocrite.

No, not at all.

[Crissi]

No, not at all.

Just means you're super practical over being super emotionally involved. Nothing really wrong with either.

I'm the overly emotionally involved, because I regard them the same as family.

I mean 100k I could pay back my parents for the loan for grad school, but I (and they) would rather me pay it back slowly over time than do something like that

[Dug]

I mean accept or don't accept but anyone saying 100k isn't a lot of money is really full of shit lol

[A dot Ham]

I lost my dog to cancer recently, and hell no if he was still with me you could offer me millions and id still refuse, he was like a brother to me, family. I would of never betrayed him like that.

Yeah? How much did you spend on his treatment? Did you put him down in the end?


Sorry not trying to be mean... or single you out. But there is a dollar amount.

People no matter how much they love their pets, do have a limit for how much they are willing to spend to keep them alive.

Also we put animals to sleep, claiming its the "best" thing for them, or its the "humane" thing to do, but we don't do the same for people. If its right and humane... it should transcend species.

Also food for thought. The company that supplies one of the key chemicals required for lethal injection stopped supplying their product because research came out that suggested that the lethal injection stops their breathing first. Which means people who are given the death penalty via lethal injection actually die from asphyxiation. Trapped in their own bodies, likely awake, they just stop breathing. It would be the equivalent to drowning them. Which is the exact same process for animals.

I love my little Jersey girl to pieces. But I can't afford to spend even 2k to keep her around for another year or 2, when she is likely to die of old age then anyway. I'm just saying it sucks to think about... but be honest with yourself about what you are truly willing to do.

My sons though... I'd do anything for. Anything... if I have to kill Jaylock for them to live... well... sorry Jaylock has to go.
