    It's not about profit, so you need to consider your operating costs. But assume all puppies are delivered to your busness premises. And you have to kill them personally.
    I can see this being on the apprentice. Team Gladiator versus Team Chutney spoon.

      I just had Yi Kim Il, on the phone from N Korea. He wants to know if we can do a container full by the middle of next week

        Are we talking about a proper dog or one of those handbag accessory, little yappy things that I could easily drop kick over the posts from the 22 yard line.


        I have a dog but am definitely not a dog person.
        Baseline costs around a mongrel and then work out a multiplier based charge sheet for different breeds.

            My sister just posted a picture of her new puppy on facebook. It's very cute, but in Australia, so I'd want expenses too.

              You just want us to pay for your flights to Oz. While MF may be stupid enough to fall for that trick I'm not that stupid.

                  I have been wondering whether, in the post-horsemeat scandal atmosphere, it's still easy to turn a decent profit on a ton of black market puppy meat.

                    Almost everyone has...

                    My view is that if you pay someone to do something, your ethical position is pretty much the same.

                    Given that the food we eat, the drugs we take when we are sick, fags, booze etc have been tested on animals including dogs then we have all killed dogs, basically we have outsourced it.

                    The production of lamb is responsible for the deaths of many dogs each year.

                    Many people are too squeamish to do it personally, but that is not an ethical position.

                    My own position reminds me of when my cat had an expensive but entirely fixable condition and the vet said it would be much cheaper to have it put down, my view was that as it was my cat I had a duty to fix the bloody thing and it was dishonourable to let it die.

                    But if it was someone else's cat (or puppy) that would not apply.

                      Not if your outgoings are a million pounds per dead puppy.
