I want to kill an animal.

    I'm leaving the country is 6 weeks or so and having read the vegetarian thread, I really want to either capture or hunt an animal, kill it, cook it and eat it before I leave.. The problem is I don't have access to a gun and while I like fish, I'd rather eat a proper animal.

    What would be easiest way to go about doing this? And i'm not going to eat a mouse either.

    You could just go to the butchers and get a 14oz steak.

    There are hunting activity holidays available, have a google. Alternatively set a trap for a rabbit, or get in contact with someone on the shooting forum who'll bring you out hunting/lamping/pillaging.

    Your local park is a hive of tasty morsels right at the end of a leash

    Talk nice to one of the people on the hunting forum.

    Or you could buy a bunny in a pet shop. You don't have to tell them you're going to eat it.

    Alternatively catch a mouse and eat it. Apparently they taste really good.

    ^ like he said.

    I killed a crow today that's still stuck to the front of my car.
    You're welcome to him if you want.

    The rabbit idea isn't half bad.. Read a thread on another site before where a guy raised his own pet rabbits to eat them after.

    Set a snare and catch a rabbit or hare. they are easy to skin, you can literally peel them like a banana. Tasty too, and no buck shot to worry about.

    Its so simple go to any field in Ireland and do the following

    If you go into Marley Park or St Annes or somewhere like that some night, dig a hole, diameter a meter, down at least a couple of meters. Place upturned highly sharpened wooden stakes at the base of the pit. Cover the opening with light branches and some leaves and dirt.
    Your sure the capture and severely injure / kill a small mammal.
    Or maybe a child.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    There's a spider here somewhere if you wanna come catch it.

    You'll pass a forest where deer live on the way..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,228 ✭✭✭epgc3fyqirnbsx


    Mink are not native to this country and are beginning to cause problems so are seen as a pest and as such it may not be a bad thing to trap one of them.
    they can be easy to catch if you go to a river bank where they are reported to be. you get about 4 foot of 6 inch clay pipe and stick it into the ground at approx 70 degree angle and throw a bit of fish in the bottom. The climb in but cant get out. Dunno what they're like to eat but you could always make a nice hat

    He'd probably go to Burger King - but make it look like he had to get through a big scary forest to get there.

    Any particular reason why you have to do this in Ireland ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    I'd say you could nobble a grey squirrell with a catapult, or even a trap. They're an invasive species, so you're doing the country a favour, and they're pretty yummy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    definitely head over to the hunting forum, they might just let you go on a hunt with them. my dad hunts deer and always bring someone with him, he needs help getting them onto the back of the jeep, so i'd say you'll fulfill this little dreams of yours.

    Not really actually.. But I don't know much about the wildlife in asia. I don't want to have to kill an elephant or a tribesman.. Maybe I could kill a shark instead..

    I keep chickens. You're more than welcome to slit the throat of one or two of them if you want.

    Ah, no. He'd catch something 'orrible eating them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Dilynnio


    Drive around the country roads early in the morning and pick yourself up some road kill! You will have plenty of choice from badgers to foxes to rats etc......

    Google Baz's extreme world........he met some guy who did this and then froze it and ate it! He had a massive deep freezer in his house full of roadkill! Yummy!;)

    There is a guy who owns our local takeaway who catchs and kills pigeons most mornings during the week. Not sure what he does with them, but I'll ask him next time am in getting a snack box.

    Go to a farm and punch a cow to death. Lovely tender steak nom nom

    Become a Muslim and under religious rules apparently under their right to practise their religion, you can get away with some things sometimes with the disposal of animals.

    I killed a lobster once. Pretty sure I'll never kill another animal ever again after that.

    ask your local travellers, they go hunting rabbits and they are very good at it.

    I just read this bit of info from wiki

    "Queen Elizabeth I banned commoners from owning greyhounds during her reign leading to the creation of lurchers, a cross-breed of greyhound with another dog which evaded the ban.
    In time poachers and hunters discovered breeding of certain breeds with sighthounds produced better dogs for the purpose. Many lurchers were bred in Ireland and Great Britain by the Irish Gypsies and travellers in the 17th century. They were used for poaching rabbits, hares and other small creatures.

    The name lurcher is derived from the Romani language word lur, which means thief. The travellers considered the short-haired lurcher the most prized. The lurcher is rarely seen outside of Ireland or Great Britain, but is still common in its native lands"

    I want to kill an animal too after playing Red Dead Redemption...


    but then I wanna skin it and sell it at the general store for many dollars.

    Sodomize a neighbours dog to death and eat the carcass. Simple.

    You will need some talcum powder and a rock.
    Head into the woods or meadow and look for a rabbit hole , you will be able to tell it's a rabbit hole because it will say Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit on the postbox.

    Once you have assertained that it is in fact a rabbit hole you take the rock and place it at the entrance to the rabbit hole and cover the rock with talcum powder.

    Once you have slipped away to a safe distance , you just sit and wait , eventually Mr or Mrs Rabbit or maybe one of their many offspring will have to leave the hole for a piss or a sh!te as they keep their little homes clean and don't have indoor plumbing as they are rabbits, this will necessitate them leaving the hole .

    As they are very careful creatures and are always wary of Mr. Fox the first thing they will do is come to the entrance and stick their little nose in the air to get a sniff of their surroundings and to detect if Mr.Fox is around.

    Well what they won't know s that you have been to visit and have palced a talcumed rock on their doorstep. One big sniff of talcum and hey presto it will cause the rabbit to sneeze and bang it's head off the rock thus knocking it unconcious and easy for you to catch.

    Now killing the rabbit is up to you . I tend to get overcome with guilt and just stay with them until they regain conciousness and return them to their family.

    Happy hunting

    That's exactly why i recommended punchin a cow. Wasted a fair bit of time punchin cows in the first farm. Seems like fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 386 ✭✭seensensee


    Why not get the wellies on and head for the hills, there are plenty of sheep a grazing... There may be some farmers out there who are willing to provide you with some livestock, probably depends on how much you are willing to pay. Failing that why not go down to the abattoir and see if you can make some contacts there? It should be a good day out for you.

    Was it in the mental health thread?
