You encounter two young men laughing as they are about to torture and kill a domestic house pet (let it be either a cat or dog, depending on which one you like more.) You can only stop it by cutting off, shooting off, or somehow removing their hands. There will be no repercussions for you. Would you do it? If you're honest with your answer, it's actually a pretty good way to see what type of person you are. |

So you have to shoot the persons hand off? Do they get a fake hand afterwards? _________________ Julie Do you believe in something beautiful? Then get up and be it! http://www.last.fm/user/Untitled_9/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/86438423@N00/ |

oops, you can do whatever you want, but it has to involve taking away their hand. i'll edit that yes, they can get an artificial hand afterward. |

Seeing as there appears to be absolutely no reason for these men to kill this animal, I would absolutely shoot and/or cut their hands off. _________________ If the end of the world has proper noodles I'll probably be okay with it. |

You know, this question really comes between my vegan beliefs and my belief that violence is unrequired unless used in self-defense--and if you have to use self-defense, you are probably using it against violence in the first place. But I could certainly see myself as the person who is acting as the animal's self-defense, considering this animal cannot easily defend themselves from being shot. I still shoot and/or cut their hands off _________________ If the end of the world has proper noodles I'll probably be okay with it. |

I still shoot and/or cut their hands off I have similar thoughts. I'm not vegan, but I still am strongly against animal cruelty. I also agree with you about using violence only in self defense, but in this case, we're not the ones being attacked. I would probably cut their hands off too, but I wouldn't feel proud of it. |

Yeah; I certainly wouldn't feel proud of it. And, although I wouldn't talk about doing this, I would still prefer to shoot the two men's hands off because shooting someone's hands off sounds a lot cooler than just cutting them off like a normal person. _________________ If the end of the world has proper noodles I'll probably be okay with it. |

I feel like I'd need to know what this person did for a living (do they need their hands REALLY bad?) or if they were a good or bad person in general. I'd assume they were bad if they were going to kill an animal............ i'd probably ...maybe...... i don't know! _________________ Julie Do you believe in something beautiful?

I think I'd rather let an animal die than sever hands from people. I would probably give them the ass kicking of their life, but I would not cut off their hands. _________________

That's intereseting. A life vs. function. I'd definitely beat the crap out of someone ... but to maim is a tough choice. It's not like they're breaking a window or vandalizing. Hmm. Ok, how's this: I can't endorse maiming people to save animals, but if it were to happen, I couldn't hold it against a person (or myself) because the cruelty and disrespect displayed by the actor against the animal. He attacked an innocent animal for fun, and thusly, he rescinded his rights to not be attacked in an act of defense. I don't even know if this makes sense, I'm not even fully awake yet.  _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

dan, where do you get this stuff? drawing doorways must be really boring or something. anyways, i'd take out the trust hatchet i'm always carrying in my purse and dispense of their hands, as that is apparently the only way to save a poor little animal's life. but if there were more options, i'd yell at them, call the cops, and perhaps try to run them over with my car. _________________ Saellys wrote: Thank God for Arielle  all your kind, they're coming clean they shut their eyes their mess, their scene |

I love animals and would immediately try to get in between them and the psychos. I would definitely attack them, but to actually chop off their hands? I don't think I could do that. |
