P.S. My daughters, who are cats, betray me all the time.

Animals will betray you if they’re hungry enough, unless they’re herbivores!

I’d like the 6–7 billion humans on the planet to gradually reduce to more like 0.5 billion through decelerated reproduction, and make room for the other species on the planet to live in abundant self-supporting habitats.

Animals. In a group of 100 people, I can probably only find 5–10 that I might actually like. With animals, the ratio would be more like 7/10.

I had at least 100 animals… Ants! And I don’t want them!!!

And the people won’t fit in my place so I don’t want them either!!!

Animals hands down.

I assume you’re talking about eating both. I have go with animal. Even though humans have a bit more meat than say a chicken, they are way harder to raise for eating than an animal, what with all the talking.

Even if you’re not talking about eating them, I have to go with animals. There is probably a similar ratio of stupid animals to stupid humans, but at least animals can’t talk. Not to mention, why would I support 100 humans if I wasn’t getting anything out of it?

Neither? Animals are smelly, and I hate people. How about 100 Mounds bars? I’d go for that.

@dynamicduo—How silly can you be?!? He’s not talking about eating humans, he’s talking about having them as slaves. On that basis, one would have to say that 100 elephants could do the work of 1000 human slaves. I’m going with the elephants. (And if allowed, I’d take 100 blue whales. They must be good for something!)

Of course he’s talking about eating them. He uses the same phrasing as when the waiter comes up and asks “Ma’am, would you rather have chicken or beef tonight?”

Though I will agree that 100 in one sitting is just a bit too much for anyone but Mr Creosote.

@dynamicduo: Get out of my menagerie! Those blue whales are mine!

I’ll take the 100 animals if you throw in free veterinarian visits for life along with stock options in the company PETCO.

Darwin's avatar

Neither. I have too many of each in my life already.

emmaroid's avatar

@Darwin,neither was not an option in the OP.

LKidKyle1985's avatar

if I had 100 people I would figure out what their skills were and make them work for me muahahahaha.

Darwin's avatar

@emmaroid – It is my answer nonetheless.

It’s a free country!

fireside's avatar

i don’t think I would have room for either.

emmaroid's avatar

@Darwin oh,thanks for your answer.

fireside's avatar

oh, but if we’re talking about the sexual “have” then I would definitely choose people.
I don’t get down with the beasts. (well, there was this one girl)
