Would you give your pet away for a million dollars?
No dollar amount could even tempt me. How about you?

No. Never. To me that's like asking if I would give a child away.
Now hubby... that's a different question all together! *lol* Just Kidding!

For a million dollars? Yes. I love him, but if he would have a good home, and I could then provide for my four children - Kaiser would get a new home.

This is clearly the worst thread in the history of the site.
Anyone who answers "No" and isn't already inordinately wealthy is an absolute moron.

I don't have a pet, but if I did...yes, I think I would trade for a million.

Say you have kids, would you give your kids away for a million dollars?
No? Maybe now you understand the relationship some people have with their pets.

Absolutely. I love my dog, but my children are my first priority. As long as I knew he'd be going to a good home, there's no question that I would choose providing security to my children first.
I wonder how many of the people who voted "no" in this thread have children? Most of the names I recognize seem to be from childless folks, but I don't know the status of all of 'em. Would be interesting to see the breakdown.

oh goody, a breeder vs non-breeder argument
Another proud moron here. I would never give away my cat for anything, nor would I have given my previous pets away.

Umm, I don't think whether or not people have children has ANYTHING to do with this thread. If your first thought when you hear "Would you do X for a million dollars" is "yes so it would give my children security" perhaps it's time to re-evaluate your personal investment portfolio.
A million dollars would mean I'd never have to work, my dad would be cared for no matter what, I could give back to my extended family and friends (hey, I could help out my friend who's a couple thou in debt) and I could do a lot of good by donating to charities. Tough shit. No one gets my pets.

I don't have any pets right now. My parents had two birds for the longest...and yes I would've gave them away for a million dollars. They were too dumb to train, shat on my walls, and woke me up at 3 am chirping. They were only good as decorations.
