Whats your limit???

Here's the clean version.....

For £1,000,000 would you kill a horse?

Pros
With the money you would be able to save many other horses! And even people from death, disease etc.

Cons
The horse will be dead and you will have killed it.

Remember, killing the horse is a bad action, but deciding NOT to kill the horse is another action, and that action would mean that you would not be able to put the money to something that could save many horses/people etc...

Personally, i'd kill the horse.
















...oh yeah, and i'd give the money to somewhere that would actually save peoples lives.

I'll take the money off your hands if you're just giving it away.

I personally wouldn't be able to kill a horse. I mean, look at it this way?

1. How would other horses die? If its nature's way of keeping the balance, then who am I to get in the way.

Take for example the documentary filmmaker where they are getting a shot of a lion killing and eating a zebra. Should the filmmaker step in a save the zebra? No, because that's nature and how life has survived on this planet.

If saving those extra horses in turn kills other animals because I've disrupted their instinctive behaviour, then am I doing more harm than good?

2. Where is this money coming from? Would it not be plausible to apply to the good will of the financial backer to, well, just put the money to good use and leave that poor horse alone.

3. How long would the other horses live for. Would 5 minutes off every other horses life to give a lifetime to the one horse who's victim to this, surely that's got to be good.

So no, I wouldn't kill a horse. However, if I found the horse dead of natural causes, can I still claim the money?

1. Mostly through poor treatment and lack of care, although a few will be with a chain saw.

The Zebras are food for the Lions, the horses are dying for no reason.... have you no heart Martin!

2. The money is from an education grant from psychology researchers... and no.

3. 10 years, but the chain saw victims will be 14 years

For £1,000,000 of course I would kill a horse! I would keep the money of course as well! To understand my logic on killing animals I think you should realise that my Father was a Slaughterman in an Abbatoir and after that a Butcher.

Thanks, thats very heartless of you :oP

So would you kill a person for £10,000,000? If you would not get into trouble and if the idea was to save many other people with the money?

No killing people is different altogether. We don't in most situations need to kill people to survive ourselves. Killing animals to survive is hunter instinct, as in Martins Lion and Zebra! Mind you I think I would have killed your Horse in the Grand National if I were you!!!

Yeah, put me down for killing a horse as well. After my two's performances on saturday afternoon, they should be made into kebabs and glue ....
