Dying horse fly

Fart · 10-07-2013 8:41am #1

No, this isn't a poem I wrote, it's a real life predicament.

Outside my bedroom there is a dying horse fly. Well, I assume it's dying.
I hit it with my shoe last night to try and daze it so I can shoe (:pac:) it out of my bedroom.

In the morning I saw it on the ground outside my door and it was slightly moving. Afterwards, I think my dog got to it and now it only has one leg and a wing.

The leg still moves when I touch it.

Do I kill it? Stand on it? Or let it live with the hope that it will miraculously grow a new wing and leg?

I don't really want to kill it as it is my fault that it's injured. :mad:

Youd be doing it a huge favour. I don't think limbs grow back unless your a starfish!

Stomp on it.

Put it in the pot with the rat and cats and durty bats..

Find a Spiders Web and throw it in.

Circle of life and all that.

Horseflies are bastards. You'd be doing us all a favour by killing it.

Fart · 10-07-2013 8:47am

Hmmmm interesting... I may consider putting it into a spiders web. But should I kill it first?

wexie · 10-07-2013 8:48am

Don't kill it!!!!!

They're horrible little things, have you ever been bitten/stung by one?

Make it suffer!!!

The Backwards Man · 10-07-2013 8:51am

Kill all clegs. Bastards.

Fart · 10-07-2013 8:52am

I have been bitten before, yes. I don't want to make it suffer.

It's just lying on the carpet looking up at me and expecting me to do something.

agreed

at least wasps kill greenfly and bees make honey

but what do horseflies do??...only sneak up on you and bite resulting in itchy hives bastards

I can never understand why people are so afraid of Clegg's , they only want to give you a wee nip.

Sure you'd get worse after a night out in coppers !

But in all honesty, kill it .. All clegg's go to heaven !!

Put it in your freezer until they find a cure.

Ash.J.Williams · 10-07-2013 8:55am

this is the most compasionate OP i've ever read...best wishes to the horsefly!

(f**ers used to land on me in the tractor and you wouldn't notice until the bite)

Fart · 10-07-2013 8:56am

Right, so I'm going by THIS

I'll count the posts to see if it survives or not.

Renegade Mechanic · 10-07-2013 8:59am

Kill!

You've already left it too late as these things are telepathic and he has already signalled your monstrous actions to his buddies who will be gunning for you soon. Best to sell up the house immediately and move to Europe, start a new life and don't look back.

Put it outside, where some bird will eat it. All part of the great circle of life. Mother Nature has no qualms about letting organisms die in bizarre circumstances, and neither should you.

What's a horsefly?

That was also a beautifully put together OP as well.
Whisper into its ear about the good times.

R.I.P.

Darnit! I just bought a house around the corner from this one... and I haven't even moved in yet.

A horse flies a plane as they can't handle a helicopter.

My sympathies with all the horseflies family

You hit an insect with your shoe and are surprised that its injured?

Do it a favour and kill it.

Do you have a cat? Give it to the cat! My cat loves to eat all creepy crawlies :pac:

I'd kill it - bloody hate the ****ers, with their nasty bites...

wretcheddomain · 10-07-2013 10:26am

We really need a poll for this thread - 'Kill Compassionately', or 'Kill Sadistically'.

Micky Dolenz · 10-07-2013 10:29am

I see you and raise you a dead cat fly.

Ring up Dignitas and tell them you have a friend who is suffering and won't make it then book one of those air ambulances and get yourself to Zurich. You whacked him so it's the least you can do.
