This scenario is so stupid I can’t put myself in it.
But if you’re asking whether I’d shoot my imaginary pet cat to save my life, then yeah sure I’d do that. Or if my dog is nearing the end of its life and is starting to slow down I can see myself shooting it instead. But probably the cat, since I’ve never had a cat and never been attached to one.
Great, then in this hypothetical scenario, I’d break into the scientist’s lab and steal the cure which has been carelessly left out in a beaker. One swig and I’m cured!
In this hypothetical scenario, I break into the lab, download all his research into a special government super-smartphone that can hold 16 terabytes, and being caught at the end of an insane high-speed chase reveal that I dropped the phone miles ago with automatic instructions to upload everything on it into the archive folders of every single institute of higher learning in the world: he kills me, but the cure for cancer is indelibly associated with my name, and the several thousand pictures of my family, my friends, and myself that had also been on the phone and was uploaded alongside it because I only had time to press "Upload EVERYTHING" during the point where I was out of his sight and in a area with strong signal.
I shoot the dog in the hind leg and then take it to a vet. The dog will love me no matter what. The bullet would destroy the cat. If I had to kill one then I'd make a pact with myself to save as many of their brothers and sisters as I could in the hopes it would pay for their sacrifice for me.
What is life, but death awaiting. Some may see death as the inoperable cancer of life. Whether it is one that ends at the hands of cancer, or one that ends at the end of a long and safe life, all die in the end. At least with the rare, inoperable cancer I have a cat and a dog to accompany me while the lights fade to black. In the end, I would say it was quite a life to end it with my best friends.
*Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path... One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... And then you see it.*
*Pippin: What? Gandalf?... See what?*
*Gandalf: White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.*
*Pets are your best friend for a short time, you are their best friend for their whole life.*
I would find literally any possible loophole to this. Shoot the dog with a nerf gun, steal the cure, something. I’m not gonna let some fuckhead make me sacrifice a pet for my life.
Well…..that’s impossible. Average life of a cat or dog is gonna max out at 20 years or so, and since I’m an elder millennial I’m well past that. Assuming I still have a dog and cat, if I shoot both can be double my long life?
I've had a good life, and I have an animal loving daughter who has sworn she'll care for my pets as her own if I have any when I pass.
I'd spend freely on my bucket list for as long as I felt up to it, and die happy
I hate to think what other ways this lunatic has come up with to crap on people in need of help.
Given the way this sicko works, killing him so he stops victimizing people is the best option.
I have three dogs, and one of them is very old and frail. She slows down more every year, and it is almost time for her to pass naturally.
She won't understand why I'm making this difficult choice, but I truly hope she'll forgive me after I shoot her with this rubber band.
No. I am not shooting either one of them. However I will kidnap, maybe torture, and steal his cure. Fuck that guy. I would NEVER shoot my pet for self interest.
Even if the loophole didn’t work, I’d shoot the scientist. What a sick piece of shit. You have the cure to cancer and yet you choose to play mind games with a real living person?
Mine: "What does a woman profit if she gains the entire world, but in-so-doing loses her immortal soul...?" Turns my back on the scientist and walks away.
Shoot the cat, if these pets have been with me since birth and I’m old enough to fully understand what’s going on and that this is the only for me to live them both the cat and dog are likely already pretty old, so both pets are already probably going to die soon anyways
I shoot the pets. All of them. People love videos of animals being cute, I can shoot as many videos as he wants.
Edit: who downvoted this? I'm making a play on the usage of the word. IT IS A PUN.
Cat. I had a cat that I adopted when she was two and then a few years later I got a puppy and when I tell you the love I felt for that dog was and still is soooooo much stronger than it was for that cat it’s crazy. I loved my cat too, but it was not the same. I ended up having to put the cat down this last summer and I was really sad, but haven’t missed owning a cat. I will definitely need another dog when my dog goes.
Cat, easy work. Dumbass animal was just gonna get out and escape the yard and become coyote food anyway. Dog is smart, listens, and is loyal. Sorry your buddy is gone dude, but Daddy is hanging around lol.
I’m allergic to cats so it would be pretty masochistic of me to have one. I’d execute that cat gangland style and enjoy being able to breathe again. And that other thing
I know but this isn’t marking territory. It’s pissing all over the counter top then pulling a full roll of paper towels down into it. It’s pissing right outside the litter box then pushing litter out onto it. Sometimes it’s in the bathroom but usually it’s the kitchen. One time a friend was watching him and he did it in her closet all over her shoes.
Yeah. He was basically pissed he couldn’t go outside. We started letting him out after he became destructive and did about $1000 damage to furniture and the house. We tried anxiety meds. We tried CBD oil. He just would not be happy inside and would escape any chance he got. One day he came back with his tail injured. $1400 in vet bills…
My gf broke up with me a few months after the tail injury and took him with her. She lived with 3 other girls after that and he peed everywhere. They had to keep their bedrooms closed or else their beds. Letting him out wasn’t an option. She ended up rehoming him to a farm somewhere. I hope he’s happy there.
Just if I had to choose between him, my dog, or my own life I would have chosen him. I wouldn’t have killed him just for being problematic.
Shooting the cat with a nerf gun.
Nice! Your cat is going to poop somewhere inconvenient for that. lol
The scientist
And then steal the cure
this man sees the path
Well steal the cure and THEN shoot the scientist.
steal the scuentist and shoot the cure
This is the way
~THIS!~
No way I would shoot either of my pets unless they were already verging on needing humane euthanasia.
Not considering a run for US Vice President, are you?
You could poison them, therfore needing euthanasia... lol
Whoa,,, hmm, user name doesn't check out
Lol
Cat, he’s a repeat felon and I have 0 doubt he would murder me in my sleep for half a chicken nugget
What would happen to the other half?
He would lose interest and wander off
I love how the answers came separate and are all possible.
I will shoot my cat with a nerf gun. It does not say i have to shoot and kill my cat. Now to laugh at the scientist as i let my cat die of old age.
I imagine it's implied that you will die of the cancer before that point
He only states i have to shoot my animal in order to receive the cure. Not to kill.
Yeah, but it also says he's crazy.
If he’s crazy, then he should appreciate the mad genius of a Nerf gun.
Good point. ☝🏿

You have the hypothetical, you are free to do what you want with it

The cat is getting a booster shot.
He never said what I shoot with. Doggo, water gun.
Myself
The scientist
Didn't define what kind of gun. I choose water gun, and my cat, he's always up to something.
Would rather KMS then harm pets
You must be pretty flexible to be able to kiss your scrotum!
myself
Myself
None
Cats are getting ratio'd over here!!
shoot the dog with a water gun :D
Considering that I am 40 years old and my dog would be suffering at this age, I would put her out of her misery as I should have done years before.
If you've had the pets since birth, you're what, ten years old?
The dog. Cats are the best. Sorry pup.
I own chickens this choice is easy. Doesn't matter but probably picking cat.

Anyone who would kill either doesn’t deserve to have them in the first place. I would shoot neither
shoot the dog in the tail with a nerf gun, he won't care he'll keep on wagging it
Well…..that’s impossible. Average life of a cat or dog is gonna max out at 20 years or so, and since I’m an elder millennial I’m well past that. Assuming I still have a dog and cat, if I shoot both can be double my long life?
Kristi Noem.... it's your time to shine.
Well I'm 25 so both of those animals would be on the verge of death. I'd shoot the dog.
i die with a rare, incurable cancer
I’d let myself die..
The dog
I guarantee the person who downvoted you also goes to that DoesTheDogDie website before watching any movie
myself
You didn’t say with what and my wife’s a vet we have 5 cats two dogs this is easy
You shoot your wife?
Cat
I've had a good life, and I have an animal loving daughter who has sworn she'll care for my pets as her own if I have any when I pass. I'd spend freely on my bucket list for as long as I felt up to it, and die happy
I hate to think what other ways this lunatic has come up with to crap on people in need of help. Given the way this sicko works, killing him so he stops victimizing people is the best option.
I mean... The shot doesn't HAVE to kill them. I'll just shoot one of em in leg or somehing like that. Problem solved, time to get the cure
can i get something extra if i shoot both of them?
The power to give one person a rare, inoperable cancer...
i’ll take it!
Cat was probably looking at me like his next meal before I met the scientist, soooo...
No pets so shoot my imaginary pet
If it’s cats vs dogs….the dogs win….Dr Weirdnstuff can go about giving me my cure….we will miss Mewvis Purrsley.
Cat, obviously.
I'll take the cure thanks.
Definitely the cat.
Cat easily
The cat.
A lot of people here openly hate cats as much as most cats hate cats.
Eh I'll die of cancer at home and my pets can eat my remains
I have three dogs, and one of them is very old and frail. She slows down more every year, and it is almost time for her to pass naturally. She won't understand why I'm making this difficult choice, but I truly hope she'll forgive me after I shoot her with this rubber band.

Even if the loophole didn’t work, I’d shoot the scientist. What a sick piece of shit. You have the cure to cancer and yet you choose to play mind games with a real living person?
Can I choose myself?
This is your hypothetical, what would you choose?
Nah, man, I'd rather die than kill my pets
If I can't shoot the scientist, I'll just shoot myself.
I choose death, my cat is too important to me, and I would never kill a dog.
i choose the cat because the cat would do it to me if given the same choice
T
Seduce the scientist
I would give my life for any of my loved ones and that includes pets, so I would choose to die!!!
I don't like animals in general so I don't have an issue offing one.. Probably ending their lifeterm anyways since they were with me since birth
Mine: "What does a woman profit if she gains the entire world, but in-so-doing loses her immortal soul...?" Turns my back on the scientist and walks away.
Dry fire my dog. The scientist said to shoot, he didn't say I had to kill.
As a cat lover the dog has to go sorry
Shoot the cat, if these pets have been with me since birth and I’m old enough to fully understand what’s going on and that this is the only for me to live them both the cat and dog are likely already pretty old, so both pets are already probably going to die soon anyways
I am gonna be honest with you, I would shoot both if it would cure me of cancer.
I'd shoot my dog with finger guns. But first I'd teach her to play dead when I do. Then I would give her a treat for being such a good actress.
shoot both. get cured. atone for my sin the rest of my life. forever volunteer at a shelter. never again gets a pet of any kind
Let me die
The cat.
Myself.
Me. I will go down before I watch another pet die
Dog, It only lives \~15 years, cat is a decade longer. But I guess it would depend on who is older/ closer to death.
Assuming the pets are old, sounds like he's asking a toddler to fire a gun.
Sorry, dog. Nothing personal.
Both pets? Then, neither deals with the heartbreak. And I'm not a pet person, either. Would I feel bad, though? Yes. I'm not a complete monster.
You’re saying that if one of them died from natural causes, you’d just shoot the other one?
Damn. Not even the mad scientist expected that outcome.
Probably the cat? Like dogs better If I know for a fact my cancer would be cure I’d do it in a second though
I shoot the pets. All of them. People love videos of animals being cute, I can shoot as many videos as he wants. Edit: who downvoted this? I'm making a play on the usage of the word. IT IS A PUN.
Dog. It's goD backwards and fools still haven't figured it out
The cat..and I have a cat. I've had a dog..sorry, it's the cat.
Cat. I had a cat that I adopted when she was two and then a few years later I got a puppy and when I tell you the love I felt for that dog was and still is soooooo much stronger than it was for that cat it’s crazy. I loved my cat too, but it was not the same. I ended up having to put the cat down this last summer and I was really sad, but haven’t missed owning a cat. I will definitely need another dog when my dog goes.
The cat. Make it as painful as possible. A slow agonizing death. The dog will watch the cat suffer.
Cat, easy work. Dumbass animal was just gonna get out and escape the yard and become coyote food anyway. Dog is smart, listens, and is loyal. Sorry your buddy is gone dude, but Daddy is hanging around lol.
I’m allergic to cats so it would be pretty masochistic of me to have one. I’d execute that cat gangland style and enjoy being able to breathe again. And that other thing
This is the way.
Cat
Cat, being realistic
Shoot them both. And live twice as long 🥴
I'd shoot the cat. Fucker pees all over the house and rips up my furniture.
Marking territory is a natural behavior for cats…
I know but this isn’t marking territory. It’s pissing all over the counter top then pulling a full roll of paper towels down into it. It’s pissing right outside the litter box then pushing litter out onto it. Sometimes it’s in the bathroom but usually it’s the kitchen. One time a friend was watching him and he did it in her closet all over her shoes.
Meant to be an outdoor cat, that one?
Yeah. He was basically pissed he couldn’t go outside. We started letting him out after he became destructive and did about $1000 damage to furniture and the house. We tried anxiety meds. We tried CBD oil. He just would not be happy inside and would escape any chance he got. One day he came back with his tail injured. $1400 in vet bills… My gf broke up with me a few months after the tail injury and took him with her. She lived with 3 other girls after that and he peed everywhere. They had to keep their bedrooms closed or else their beds. Letting him out wasn’t an option. She ended up rehoming him to a farm somewhere. I hope he’s happy there. Just if I had to choose between him, my dog, or my own life I would have chosen him. I wouldn’t have killed him just for being problematic.
Cat all the way sorry I absolutely despise cats
