I would do anything .... anything ... to save my child's life. Any good parent would.
There is absolutely nothing to even consider here, IMO. I love animals, but if this were my child, I wouldn't give it a second thought. Anyone with children understands this.
And if you don't have children ... you still are someone's child. Would you parents have any qualms about this if it were you? Would they say, "Gee, I love my son/daughter, but I'll let him/her die, because I feel sorry for a monkey." Nope. No way, no how.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
