Have you ever killed an animal?

[calpoon]

the most dangerous animal of all.. man.

no, not really. I probably killed a bird or something with my BB gun when I was a kid. but I haven't in my adult life.

I really don't see the point in mindless destruction. I rarely if ever kill bugs, unless they are some threat to me. One time I killed a fly because I was trying to sleep and it kept buzzing in my face and wouldn't leave me alone no matter what I do. I used to kill mosquitoes, but I don't anymore. I figure, hey do i really need that little bit of blood that they are sucking? naw. I let em have it. It makes me feel good to know that just by being there I helped something to survive, even if it was just an annoying bug.

My apartment has a minor infestation of these beetle like creatures. They seem to reproduce at a rate only enough to sustain there population, so there's only ever three or four of them around at most. I was going to exterminate them because I figured that they'd get out of hand, but they haven't and they don't bother me, so I don't really care.

it reminds me of when i was driving through Utah and they built this highway right in the middle of deer habitat, and there were dead deer all over the place. I must have seen like 20 or more, and the road was all splattered with blood and guts. it was disgusting. There really is no need for that thing to happen, if you can't avoid hitting something while driving, then you are by definition driving in a condition that you can't control your vehicle. what if that deer was a fallen tree or another car or a person? you'd be fucked. slow down and pay attention to what you are doing. I've never hit anything with my car. When I saw some of those deer in the road I honked at them, eased on the brakes to alert the people behind me and easily managed to avoid them. Other time's I've used my emergency lights to signle to traffic that there was a dog or other animal in the road, and it's never been a problem.

Ive never killed an animal and I do plan on killing any.

I have tormented my family dog though, chaising him with the broom or the vacuum cleaner

I once neglected a pet hampster, when I was to young to be responsable to take care of a pet on my own

 

[Becks...poamr]

Just by swerving alone I have probably missed about 8 or 9 that I would have run over.

And that was just on the way to taking me to work this afternoon!! :1orglaugh

 

[CptHa]

I've hit four birds with my truck. Wasn't really on purpose but they were asking for it flying that close to street level.

 

[yaheem]

Shoot y'all crazy-ass motherfuckers, i hit a chicken on the head with a rock and saw it woozily wobble around then fall down dead. I was sad. Then I fried it, made a nice hot and spicy batter and yum yum yum delicioso. Oh yeah, shame on youse for killing poor defenseless food... er animals.

 

[Dean Wormer]

I ran over a possum a couple of weeks ago with my car and I ran over a skunk with my car about 25 years ago.

 

[naldo]

i accidentally stepped on my rabbits head while chasing it after it escaped in my basement. it died 2 days later from what i suspect to have been severe head trauma. i will never own another pet.

 

[Bigoldowls]

I once had to kill a giant black rat. I caved it's head in with an old Cricket bat.

 

[Eric Lindros]

No, only flies and so, but that doesn't count.
Nearly hit a cat while driving my car, but he could jump away, just in time.

 

[BlueBalls]

Nope

 

[Devout Pornist]

No way

 

[dave_rhino]

Oh yeah fish! Of course. Plenty of fish

 

[gunslingingbird]

The only things I've killed are fish I suppose. Fish that were for us to eat at least. I guess they were technically killed by being out of the water for too long.I don't like to think about it really.

The only time I went fishing I was shocked to see how the fish are killed. I thought it was like you described, and that the fish would die just from being out of the water, but when I reeled the poor, unsuspecting bastard into the boat, the guide took out a massive club and proceeded to repeatedly pound the fish's head until the skull was completely bashed in.

I also had a hand in putting down my cat and my dog, but they were terminally sick and their quality of life was deteriorating. Technically the vet killed them with an injection.

Yes, this happened to me too. When our cat turned 19 we started noticing strange lumps in her belly. When we took her to the vet we were told that it was cancer. We had it removed once, but it came back. The vet told us that the cat would prpbably not make it through another surgery, given her old age. We let her live on for about 6 more months, until it was obvious that she was suffering too much to justify keeping her alive, and then we put her down. To this day I can still remember the last sound that she made when the vet gave her the injection.

No i'm not a vegetarian, but i try to be.

I'm a vagitarian, myself.

Also I do swerve or brake for animals (brake only if there is no one on my ass)

You mean that at times you drive with someone doing this :nannerf1: to you? That must take concentration!

I also used bad language towards a bear. He wasn't happy, but I don't think he died.

I once told a bear to go fuck itself. Wouldn't you know that it rolled right over and fell dead.

Just be careful on that bike . . OK ! :nono:

Once I showed up to work at a theater, and the steward was limping around and didn't move his left arm much. When I asked him what had happened, he said that the night before he was driving home on his Harley, when out of the trees on the side of the highway a deer jumped out in front of him. I think he got more hurt than the deer did.

 

[dave_rhino]

I think it's sick to slay an animal.

No i'm not a vegetarian, but i try to be.

It's sick to slay an animal, so you "try" (aka: FAIL) to be a vegetarian?...



You make me laugh! :1orglaugh

 

[dudenumber1]

If you eat meat you've indirectly killed thousands of animals. But to answer your question, no I have never directly killed an animal myself yet.

 

[Evil Hobo]

Back at secondary school we went to a nature reserve in some crappy summer school I got signed into, and in a pond, I accedentally dropped a sickle-back - them small fish. After looking for ages, I couldn't find it, so I guess it died. Hope thats count.

Oh, and do them massive (I mean massive) African cockroaches count? And Dung beetles are too smart to be qualified as bugs IMO, so they are an animal lol.

Oh, and I eat meat, so someone has to kill it for me to eat it, so it's prctically the same as me killing it - for which I guess I am a mass-murderer in the eyes of them vegan hippie types with long hair and sandals, and the cute girls who never shave down below which is annoying...

 

[dave_rhino]

But they don't kill it for you specifically, they do it for anyone willing to eat it. So I don't think it counts. I get your point though.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Fish, and some small game...during their respective seasons.
Ran over a chipmunk with a tractor trailer...that really made me feel bad.
Some pigeons with a pellet gun in my youth, and a pit bull about 20 years ago with a pistol, because the asshole that owned it, used it to fuck with my ex-girlfriends little boy.

 

[Sicario]

Yeah, I inadvertently killed a baby Robin with a BB gun. The mother Robin was close and was calling it, but it was already dead.

That day I felt like shit, and still do to this day when I look back on it.

 

[cartman24]

No, I have no reason to.
