have you ever killed an animal?

I hit a hare once, and I felt pretty bad. If I hit a dog I would be pretty gutted for a long while tbh.

i have killed many but i ate them all

I killed a Robin of all birds a few weeks back while driving on the N7.

What made it worse was he hit my front grill, and subsequently rolled up along my windscreen. It seemed like it was in slow motion and if he looked at me whispering softly "Whyyyyyyy?"

Three rabbits (gun, yum), one crow (van), one pigeon (ford escort), several rats (traps and shovel, twas quick I assure you), roadkill pheasant dispatched with a rock (not enjpoyable at all) , two chickens (for the pot) and hundreds of other animals that I killed by proxy because I eat meat.

Yeah, have shot animals before, and hit a few in the car. Had one morning when on an hour drive, two birds burst from the ditch into the grille, probably within a mile, and then a rabbits bolted under the wheel fifteen minutes later.

Couple of Crows with the front panel, and a Robin which I found in the grill of a Hiace I had a few years back.
And I made complete **** of both a Pigeon and my left mirror at 5.30 one morning. I can still see the blood and feathers all over the passenger door window. I had to wash it all off. *shudder*
I think I also got a rabbit under the back wheel of a DAF rigid.
Then there are all those horrible little mozzies... :mad:
Oh, and hundreds of ants with boiling water and Ant Stop.
Oooh, and the time at school when I released a load of Ladybirds I had in my pencil case onto the shot put ring and gave them 1 minute to escape before I started stomping on them :eek:
I'm going to go to Hell, aren't I?

I think it is the law that you report killing a dog. Isn't it something to do with a dog being considered a persons property and if you damage it you need to report it? Or else it is considered livestock. One of those anyway....

I also think it is against the law to hit a dog and not stop, for the same reasons above.

Again, I could be completely wrong on both those....

Ate live crickets in Somalia. I'm not sure I'd count them as animals though, are insects animals?

My uncle is a farmer, and I once insisted on killing one of his pigs, cos I've eaten so much meat and I didn't want to be a hypocrite. I thought it would be fine since I've been complicit in it since I started to eat solids but it was really hard, the thing made a weird noise with it's throat.

I think physically doing it by hand is probably much harder than using some sort of machine (car, abbatoir equipment, etc.).

I dont think I could do it again.

Hit a Dog once, he just came out of nowhere. I pulled over to go go back and see if it was still alive, poor bastard was in some mess but somehow still alive. I'd been at my parent's house earlier that day helping my Mum do some gardening and still had a shovel in the car, so I took it out and beat it across the head. It took 4 good whacks from the shovel to kill the Dog, then as best I could I scrapped it off the road and left it in a ditch. Felt awful afterwards, especially the look in the eyes of the Dog, the sounds it was making. I can only imagine the pain it was in.

I think I did the right thing, killing it, but I can't help think about who might have owned the dog, wish I could say sorry.

DUDE/DUDETTE!!

One flippin word ya lazy billy-VET

Ya should have taken it to the vets!!

4 Pheasants
Flew out in front of the car on a narrow country road and couldn't avoid (different times obviously not all together)

2 Pigeons
Flew out of ditch and into car windscreen while driving on motorway so couldnt swerve

1 fox cub
Feel bad about this one as I slowed to a crawl and everything to avoid it, it went into the ditch and I proceeded slowly, then he darted back out and straight in under the wheel.

1 Guinea Fowl
Truck in front of me hit it and it was still alive when it hit my windscreen so I kind of killed it by proxy

Insects and rodents using traps and poisons.
