have you ever killed an animal?

BongoJuice

I mowed down a badger the other night on a country road near my house. I didn't feel all that bad about it. I couldn't help thinking if it was a dog I'd be a lot more upset.

Degsy

Yes i've killed animals..but they were all bad.

bonerm

I once sat on a cock.

Noopti

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.

SV

Yup..mowed down a bird once, he was on the road and decided to fly off in my direction at the last minute..
lot of bumper cleaning that day..

stevoman

i have killed many but i ate them all

amacachi

Killed a moth once. With my bare hands as well.

WindSock

I mercy killed a wabbit. & Shot a Possum.

Bonito

Yes but it was necessary. Couple of hoodlums in my estate found a baby bunny and start playing hacky sack with it. By the time I got over one of the fúckers had slashed it's throat with a rock. It was in an awful mess. They all got a clatter around the ear holes.

Ruu_Old

Shot a rabbit that had myxie.

gurramok

Killed lots of mice before if they can be counted as animals, maybe i'm a cat :P

Pleasantly, never knocked down an animal yet while driving despite lots of near misses *touchwood*:)

Fizman

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?"

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.

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.

You didnt have to decapitate it!

It wasn't me!

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.

Thanks for sharing that.:eek:

DerMutt

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 you're suppose to report it to the gardai when you kill a dog. its not illegal but i think thats the done thing. Saves some poor soul wandering the roads looking for it!

Horrible story it was better to put it out of its misery, I only wish you had a gun to finish it quicker.

epgc3fyqirnbsx

my mate shot a rabbit before and it screamed like a child
I then had to finish it off

That was the beginning and end of our hunting careers, we haven't spoken of it since

Coriolanus

I've shot crows. that's about it I think.

Edit: Oh and several genocides on the insect populations in my surroundings. They're animals kinda.

Noopti

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....

we'llallhavetea_old

killed a rabbit one night

hit a cat another night, dunno if he was killed but i wailed the whole way home

my ma killed a dog once, stupid bastard jumped of a wall straight under the wheels, all you see was legs flailing behind us. i'm laughing now....

Glenster

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.

Acoshla

I haven't killed an animal myself, but I have dealt with a lot of dying and dead cats and dogs (worked as a Vets Assistant for a few months).

A kitten I was bottle feeding choked once, that wasn't very nice but it was unfortunately common, he was a sick kitty, couldn't breathe well and they're very greedy

Insects have felt plenty of wrath from me.

One flippin word ya lazy billy-VET

Ya should have taken it to the vets!!

cynder

I killed my hampster by accident, I left its cage too close to the window and it got hypothermia and died.

c - 13

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.

Run_to_da_hills

Killed a cat when it ran out infront of me on a GSXF600, ex on the back was mortified. I told her that it must have been on its 9th life at the time. .

WindSock

Almost killed a stray kitty that ran out from under a car in my Peugot 206 this morn, but didn't.

I'd say the badger wasn't as casual about it.

TheInquisitor

Took the head off a pheasant that stuck its head out of a bush on a country road. It kept standing for a while then i saw it fall over in the rear view mirror. Kept driving and checked for damage to the car...none so i was happy to have a good story to tell!

I don't want to get into the details of why I couldn't (it's sick) but trust me, moving the dog was impossible. Calling a Vet at that hour in the middle of nowhere between Portlaoise and Portarlington was a noble idea but I didn't know any Vet numbers and how long would it have taken them to come out there, only to do what I did in the end? That would have been worse to let lay there waiting.

The car sounded a lot cooler until I clicked on the link lol

FearDark

Two rabbits at the same time, felt a little bad until I saw they smashed my bumper!

Also hit a dog when I used ride a motorbike, lucky to be alive after it.

Minstrel27

A few rats (hit by the car)
A bird (hit by the car)
A rabbit (I hit it with a golf ball at a driving range)

I once watched a duckling drown. But I was 7 and presumed it was swimming

Also I once tried that thing where you cut a worm in half and you get two worms, but I upset myself a lot doing that. And the two worms I got were really ****ty, go for quality of worms, not quantity.

I thought I'd hit a dog one night driving on some back roads on my way to work. I had to pull over because I was hyperventilating. When I eventually got out of the car to have a look I realised it wasn't a dog, just a really big rat. I then laughed and rang work to tell them I wouldn't be in due to the trauma of murdering an innocent creature of nature, went home and watched some back to back Bear Grylls.

I also once destroyed four separate nests of Pharoah Ants that had come back in my suitcase with me after my holiday in Greece and then subsequently spread everywhere. That's mass murder really because there was millions of them. Was kind of my own fault though I waited six months before calling an exterminator, purely because I found them "fascinating" and would watch them crawl up and down the tiles on the wall of the bathroom for hours.

A mate of mine once put his goldfish in the microwave. It exploded!

TouchingVirus

Mowed down a hare and several crows in my car, also one or two rats

epgc3fyqirnbsx

I used to catch flies for the spider webs in my grannys house. Fire them into it then watch the spider wrap up and suck the life outta them -but hey, thats nature

Then sometimes I'd catch a wasp in a jam jar and tip him out into a web to see if he'd fight the spider off but he'd always break free

I've killed a lot of animals. But I ate all of them.

hobochris

Hit a baby rabbit in the car one night, I went back to check, it was still alive but not in great shape, looked in pain so I put out of its misery with the tire iron.

Not the easiest thing to do mentally when you've strong feelings about cruelty to animals.

Blazer

Killed 2 cats one night in one go.

Both cats ran out in front of me..slammed on the brakes (no cars behind me and was only going about 60khp) to avoid them.
However the cat that was in front of the other cat, as a result of me braking meant that he missed the front wheels but the rear wheel caught him.
The cat behind him ran straight under the front wheels...fúckin stupid animals if ever.
Worst still it happened in front of their owner's house and they were outside when it happened.
I still didn't stop though...not my fault.:p

WindSock

What do you do when you hit an animal or pet? Call DSPCA (if in Dublin)
