How much would you pay to save your {dog / cat / bird/ etc} life? Just curious. Also, put down your TC, family status (married/ single/ kids/ etc) for context.
why's dog/cat/horse/bird more valuable than cow/pig/sheep?
Pet vs food
Because our social circle find dogs/cats/horse/birds cute, so pretending to care for them works in our advantage. Similarly, eating cows, pigs and sheep makes us seem more relatable to them, which makes friendships, dates and promotions easier.
And when will you provide your TC, family status for our context?
Exactly. OP is required to go first. To answer question, as an animal lover,.I'd spend no more than ~$500 to save a life. Had to put my favorite animal down years ago. They said spending $2000+ might save its life. Nope. Put him down. Adopted 2 rescue animals months later. Too many free and needy rescue animals out there. The poll is ridiculous. 40k?? You're an idiot to spend that on a dog with a <10yr lifespan no matter what miracles you hope for.
Thanks for your perspective. Well, 15 percent of the population said they would spend upwards of 40k :)
The price of a Roomba, since eating shit off the floor the kids drop is the only value they provide. Household TC $500K
Do you have an animal at home?
A couple
Less than 500.
Negative.
I said 15k cause that’s all I have liquid cash right now. I would give it all to save my cat if she was in that situation. She’s also 2 so she’s got hopefully ~16 good years left.
I said 40k plus. They are family to me. I am married with kids. I was also looking into a clone service for 100k. TC: 270k Side Business:70k/month
They are families and children to me. But I neuter them anyway. But no I don't neuter my children.
It depends. My cat was born in the 20th century. She has outlived both her brothers and is still pretty spry, but I know she's not likely to live more than a few more years in the best case. So if she were to get really sick and need expensive care, the question would be whether or not she'd recover *and* still have a good quality of life. If yes, then I'd spend whatever was necessary to take care of her, but given her age, it's probably not gonna happen. I wouldn't spend a penny just to get a few more months with her if she'd just be miserable or in pain and end up dying of old age anyway. Not married. No kids. 800k.
That last line though 👍🏻
You're two weeks late for Yulin
