Killing Animals

Donnielighto

Just killed a fly that was on my screen.

When is it ok to kill an animal because it annoys you or something else trivial? What animals do you draw the line with?

Edit: Insects ARE until proven otherwise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal

Im sure that's a horrible thing to see. The little kitten I saw, some fecked up anti humanoid insult to the human race, large brown piece of ****, threw it out of a car on a main road. C**t. If I ever got them I would gladly dance on their head.

Anything that enters my room is fair game to be killed.

Walking the dogs a horsefly buzzing around me constantly, trying to feast on my blood - I stand still a moment waiting for it to land, then I slap it and stomp on it on the ground then carry on my merry way...

Pure evil I am.

I killed the cat last week, felt bad then discovered 5 kittens and bawled my eyes out. They are thriving though.

My rule is that if it has more than 4 legs or fewer than 2, I can kill it.

Flies can carry all sorts of disease's, kill em all.
Same goes for mosquitoes.

If a cow had the chance, they'd kill you and everyone you care about.

I kill nothing.

If it's a fly, wasp, spider, whatever, it goes out the window.

What the fcuk is the point in killing something? Could never undertsand it.

I'm terrified of spiders so I can't be the thought of picking them up. I always use a large flat item (cd case for example) and do it in one stroke. If you must kill an animal, it should be as quick and as painless as possible.

Nothing, pretty disgusting attitude. Just let it fly off outside or whatever.

Cats are fair game, my local restaurant pays handsomely for them

I killed a pigeon this morning.

I was driving up to work behing another car. He was in the middle of the road, I pulled out to over take just as Mr Pigeon started to flap away accross to the other side of the carriageway - the side I just pulled out into.
BAM!

Feathers and a big loud girly scream (from me)!

Why did he fly accross the road - Why?

A lot of animals do this,they seem to get confused and run under the car at the last minute.

If it's tasty, or I have to put it out of its misery, fair game.

Otherwise I leave it be. Can't see the point of killing anything unnecessarily.

The GF always wants me to kill spiders but I always let them go out the back, they're handy for catching the bastard flies and they don't bother me..........though yesterday one manky bastard ran up my leg quickly and jumped onto the other leg

This is Ireland so our spiders are grand, if this were Australia I'd have burnt the house down to the ground and nuked the site from orbit.

beano345

If I have to I will put an animal out of its misery other than that no,a certain forum on here turns my stomach absolutely unnecessary killing of animals that you wouldn't even cook and put on the table.

House spiders can't survive outdoors afaik,better off killing it.

I hope you got out of the car, gathered up what was remaining and gave it a proper funeral rather than leaving it there to get squished by other cars :mad:

Oh the humanity!

I don't get the hate for spiders. Completely harmless creatures who won't come near you.

Even the "dangerous" ones in Australia won't go near you.

Akrasia

I have kids who love bringing in little insects and worms and anything else they can find in the garden. They're ages 3 and 5 and my general rule is that they can examine them and play with them as long as they are gentle and try not to hurt them. (for rare and protected animals like newts and toads, they're only allowed to look at them for a few minutes before we release them back to where they were found)

If I ever caught my kids deliberately killing animals for fun, I would be very disappointed, but then I remember the hours I used to spend committing clover mite genocide on the wall around our garden when I was a kid.

(clover mites are the tiny little red spiders that leave a red blood stain when you squash them and there are millions of them on garden walls around the country)

Killing animals is a sign of psychopathic tendencies..

That being said INSECTS.. hmm it's a tricky one. There was this big fat fly driving me crazy and I squashed the bastard over and over again, the look of horror from my nearly two year old made me feel so bad!!

I think it's evil if you pick legs of daddy long legs or squash snails but i'm ok with killing wasps and sometime bees, mostly bees don't wanna sting you but wasps go after you.. anyway I'm probably a hypocrite.
I'm terried of Moths too and would kill them but I don't like the way they almost turn to dust, it's like a piece of art saying 'look at what you did'

Generally though if something isn't bothering you, why kill it?
I think animals are interesting and lovely, and even some insects. Although saying that I wouldn't pet a tiger that just escaped from the zoo, a penguin maybe.

If a big ass spider comes stomping on my territory, it receives an unmerciful ass whooping.

What happens if you pick someone up on a night out? How do you dispose of the bodies?

Acid, bath tub ..... :cool:

Mosquitoes, slugs and snails if they are munching stuff, things like greenfly and animal fleas are all fair game. Otherwise let it out of the window or leave it be. I don't mind spiders too much - i wouldn't handle them but can live with them, they are beneficial.

The decking outside the house seems to be a magnet for snails. Always feel crap when I here a crunch in the dark.
