Live Dogs

"Live dogs are better than dead ones."

Assume for the sake of argument that the climbers could only have saved themselves by killing the dog and there was no way to do this in a timely fashion other than by inflicting a great deal of pain. In that case a live dog isn't better than a dead one, and the infliction of pain to kill the dog would still have been a "moral" response.
