Drosera or squirrel

Hi! I have a hypothetical question for everybody. If you were at the edge of the cliff and a a squirrel and a drosera fell off at the same time, which one would you save?
Kind of weird, but I wanted to see if people care more about annoying animals or their cp's.

I would probably save the squirrel let it free, and then go to the bottom of the cliff and get the damaged drosera and repot it and put it in a tray of distilled water. I think it would live

Neither. I wouldn't jump off of the cliff and risk my life to save a squirrell or a cp

Cp, all the squirrels are nuts

hhhm , it would probably depend on what drosera it was

and if i knew that squuirrel personally , other wise i would'nt rescue any of them and rescue my self instead and enjoy my own sundews and see the as much squirrels i want in the trees

I would save the squirrel and let the drosera go. Then drive 50 miles drop off the tree rat off in the woods. Then I would take care of the drosera and get some cuttings off of it.

My thought is a squirrel is a living animal which could die and a drosera could take the fall better. Even though I do not really like squirrels...but squirrels do make good stew.

I think the save squirrel and repot sundew/take cuttings would work, I hadn't thought of that.
 
I'd save the squirrel. Catching a sundew would be messier.

Now if it was a VFT...I'd be having squirrel stew! Why should animals come above plants? Last I checked we don't have a shortage of squirrels.

I would think a scared squirrel that just fell off a cliff would probably bite and scratch you when you grabbed it.

Can or do Squirrels carry rabies? Too messy I would save the plant. Especially considering how many squirrels we have around here.

I think the squirrel should have known better than to be on the edge of a cliff.

I wouldn't go after either of them. It's one thing to fall off a cliff, it's another thing to jump off. It'd just prove I'm dumber than the squirrel which fell off.

I would bring a net and I miss o well. I go to the bottom of the cliff grab the dead squirrel for stew and the drosera for cuttings. There would be know way I would grab the squirrel with my hands...Travis

I love squirrels they're so cute. I've never met a squirrel I didn't like (never had a problem with any). I would save the squirrel, unless the sundew in question was an Australian Rosetted Tuberous Sundew or other ultra-rare sundew, then I'd go for the sundew.

Y'all, I dare to be different. I would go for the dew without hesitation. Then, if there were others around, they'd look at me funny as I laugh evilly as I run off with the dew...
