Would you sell your pet for money to a stranger?

No, as it means an emotional loss that would be hard to bear.

I would never dream of parting with Carstairs, not for all the mone…hmmm, I dunno though

No, definitely not

I love the crap out of my fish, but honestly there isn’t the same emotional connection to a fish that there is to a cat or dog. I actually gave away some of my fish for free to someone I found on Tumblr a few weeks ago as I felt my aquarium was too crowded, and it was not a sad event since I knew they were going to a better home and that my remaining swimmies would then have better quality of life too.

If it were unplanned, though, I’d want like at least a hundred dollars for all of them. I could use the money right now, and I can get new fish. I would definitely shed tears over it though.

Back when I had a cat I wouldn’t have sold her for all the money in the world.

nope

Nah. I make enough money selling children.

I’d sell my own body parts before I’d sell my dog or cat. My animal companions are priceless.

Over the years, I’ve lost numerous animals to old age or untreatable medical conditions. The pain and loss were so staggering, I would have paid any amount just to have more time with them. I gladly spent $5,000 for a surgical procedure that saved my cat’s life.

I guess it depends on why I need to re-home them. If I became to ill to take care of them I would def ask for a fee of at least 50 dollars before I’d let them go. Just because I wouldn’t want anyone to come by, get a free cat and use it for something awful.

If we are just playing the “money game”. No amount of money would have me sell my fur babies.

Never. It would be like selling a family member.

I don’t have any pets so I would say yes if it were a decent sum of money. About £2000 would do it, I would think. I could buy another one. Presumably my pet is a special type or well trained. I’m not bothered about pedigrees and if I trained one pet, surely I could train another?

I suspect my children would disagree with selling the pet. They cried when we sold the family caravan.

As opposed to what, selling it for magic beans?

No, for two reasons.

The first—like others have said—my dog is a part of my family. He’s not something to sell away. He’s somebody I trust and who trusts me.

The second—I don’t trust anyone who’s promising a trillion dollars for my dog. Although he’s priceless to me, my right to take him home, from the animal shelter that rescued him off the side of a highway, cost about $100. He’s probably a miniature pinscher, so if I had found him at a breeder, my right to take him home would probably have cost more…. one search I did suggested anything from $800 to $2200, though he’s tall for the breed, so I still wouldn’t have paid top-show-dog dollar… And at that point, the person is being creepily persistent with their focus on my dog. I’ve got a relationship with my dog—this stranger doesn’t. I would be left wondering—what the heck does this stranger want?

No.

Right now my cat is sitting on my shoulder so his ass is almost next to my face. He got there by walking over my chest. Apparently, he wants to put his face close to my husband. We’re lying in bed. So how much are you offering?

Seriously, no. Not even the cat. They’re family.

As long as the same general protocol administered in vetting a prospective buyer for any pet offspring was followed, I admittedly was “Person A”.

As eluded to by @Love_my_doggie: “I would have paid any amount just to have more time with them.”

Simply put, I feel the same way about my family and loved ones. While I consider Rawsco family, I distinguish between animal and human.

In our discussion I explained that with money, I personally felt that you could increase the lifespan for people. If the means to achieving this extension of life was through the sale of Rawsco, I reluctantly would do so.

Edit: Later that night, he peed in the house.

No…nope…never.

No, I would feel guilty forever and the more money I got the more guilty I would feel.

No pets left. We’ve outlived them all.

No, not even the one who keeps vomiting all over the carpet. She does that sometimes. I think it has to do with eating her own crap from the back yard. It’s all yellow and nasty and harder than hell to get all cleaned up.
I wouldn’t sell her for a million dollars.

Update. My older daughter would consider selling her hypothetically beloved pet for £10,000. Possibly. I know that she would never sell though.

Never, she is here to stay.

I would sell a hypothetical pet in a heart beat!

I used to be active on ebay, and I sold my husband there once, for $.50. He wouldn’t fit in a standard box, though , and the shipping was outrageous, so the deal fell through.

No. When my puppy was new, I would have been able to do it. Now that I’ve known him for a year, not a chance. I would be so worried about him. My older dog has been with me for eleven years, so selling her is not even something I want to think about.

I’d also never sell any animal to a stranger. I’ve heard cases of people dressing up to pick up pets given away free, to give the appearance of being upstanding citizens. Then they use the animals to train pit bulls or give them to laboratories.
