Basil is cruel.

I'd shoot the first person who shoots the puppy !

The thread did say that the puppy is the cutest in the world. So rather than shoot the puppy, I would keep it and sell it to someone else for major profitz. Maybe not a million dollars but I still get money and that puppy gets to see another day.

Heck yeah. The most cutest puppy would probably go for $100,000.

You know, you could easily kill the puppy and use the money to save hundreds of puppies... or people.

Of course, then you're bringing up the whole "Does the ends justify the means" debate.
