Would you kill a puppy for $1000000?

I'd just run away with the puppy and go all "A Dog of Flanders," most likely. But if it was mercy killing, I'd might consider doing it, but I couldn't take 1M for it - it would just seem to me to devalue the life of the puppy which might seem ironic at first, but if you think about it, you'd agree with me. Money is definitely a social pass - to many of life's adventures, but killing the puppy and depriving it of life itself is not a fair trade off. I have a dog that saved my life, and my life is worth more than a million bucks to me. If a dog can do that for me, I'd be less than a dog if I couldn't do the same for a puppy.
How I would love to just run away with the puppy and go all "A Dog of Flanders"! But if it was mercy killing, I'd might consider doing it, but I couldn't take 1M for it - it would just seem to me to devalue the life of the puppy which might seem ironic at first, but if you think about it, you'd agree with me. Money is definitely a social pass - to many of life's adventures, but killing the puppy for no good reason and depriving it of life itself is not a fair trade off. I have a dog that saved my life, and my life is worth more than a million bucks to me. If a dog can do that for me, I'd be less than a dog if I couldn't do the same for a puppy, as a friend. The important thing is that I see the puppy as my friend, and that guides all my actions. But if I saw the puppy as a REAL threat to people (like he were a carrier for some kind of pathogen), no matter how cute and adorable he was, I'd put him to sleep for free, and if that means getting paid for it, then I'd accept the payment as a service to others, although helping others would be a form of payment in itself.
yes.
i'd talk with them about it first. i'd ask them what they planned to do with their gummy lives. i want to know what they think is their purpose in life. obviously it is to give me a sugar rush, but i'd give them time to realize that. i'd thank them for their gift of sugar, and try to think of the quickest way to annihilate them. biting the heads off seems to be where it's at.
(Way to quote out of context, people!)
General framework, ideal, principle... create a principle with variables a, b, and c, and define what action is taken when a, b, and c are specific quantities, and that principle can then be used to instantly determine the desired outcome where variables a, b, and c have specific values.
Simple.
In this case...
"Would you kill [I decided to let the action itself not be a variable] 'x' for 'y' amount of money [I also decided to not let the reward be a variable, because that would allow for too many options]?"
For each plausible x, create a lower bound for y, where if y is greater than or equal to the lower bound, the answer in relation to x is yes. If there is no lower bound, then y in relation to x is infinity, therefore the answer in relation to x is no.
Hell yeah i'd kill a puppy
I would eat a puppy alive for a million dollars you people are crazy!!! Then I would spend $200,000 saving puppies that were about to be put under and find them good homes. That way, I do what is morally right and make $800,000 dollars in the process.

Fist of all, you must have not read the entire OP. Secondly, you seem to be assuming that the moral goodness of saving multiple animals outweighs the moral wrong of killing one. Does it?
I really do hope you're going to be eating vegetarian because 3 week old peppers grown in cow shit tastes better than fresh off the grill porterhouse.
At this point in time I do not understand people who eat vegetarian for the sake of animals.
