if someone offered you 1m to kill someone

You should really show some self restraint. If you kill and think later we may end up in a situation like with Lee Harvey Oswald. We never found out anything about how John F. Kennedy was really killed because some idiot decided to take the law (so-called "justice") into his own hands which just caused more problems than it started.


Actually most house dogs starve or dehydrate so badly they die when left to fend for themselves in the solved.

Or we could end up with Hitler, Theoneste Bagosora and Pol Pot. I'd say if someone had the chance to eliminate any of those before three of the most infamous genocides in history, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Also, you are STILL missing the point. You only get 'house dogs' when you have humans. Remove humans from the equation, and see how dogs behave. What you are describing is the same as having a TRAINED circus elephant, a ZOO elephant or a PRIVATELY OWNED elephant. Evidently they will behave differently when being controlled/tamed by humans. But remove humans from the equation and they will be wild/free; and won't necessarily be quite so loving and tame.

I've been hunting before, nothing big, rabbits and other pests and they've always been clean kills and as much as I value all life, I can't help but think taking a rabbits life is nothing in comparison to a humans. 'Traditional' fox hunting or anything with dogs attacking the animal I am against though.

'nothing in comparison to a humans' I know where you're coming from, but I don't agree a humans life is worth more than an animals, and people cutting down forests, killing elephants for their trunks etc should all be killed.

Human life IS worth more than animal life and I'm sure that if you were faced with either saving a human or saving an animal you would tend to agree.

As for killing dictators and mass murderers you wouldn't have a chance to kill them before they did their killing since their death toll would be zero and you would have no reason to do so. Would you kill someone like hitler after the genocide? Well it's not going to make up for the atrocities already committed so what's the point?

My argument is if it was mid-way (as somebody DID try to do, at least in the case of Hitler) - would it be wrong to kill them? I'd argue no. Also, many people who have committed acts of genocide or have been classed was war criminals (Goering, to name but one) have been sentenced to death - although Goering killed himself before they could hang him...

It's living with the fact that you did it, and that person's family are now suffering with the loss, would not be able to do it personally.
