Have you ever killed an animal?

I doubt I've killed anything bigger than a mouse or a trout. I can't say it felt bad or good - it had a purpose.
What kind of animals have you killed? Why did you do it and how did you feel?

Indirectly: killed thousands eating meat.
I remember that one of my cats took a mouse back and wouldn't kill it, just wanted to play. I was about 16 at the time and said "I will kill it", thinking it would be cool. I took a rubber mallet and hit it over the head. I then saw the poor bugger crawl about with the skin on it's head hanging off, and a broken leg and got freaked out. I ran away with the image of the poor thing in my head ever since. My Dad had to put it out of it's misery, and I learnt that killing anything is not cool.
Though I did feel a slight twinge of guilt when I washed a spider down the drain last night.
I felt terrible after that.
I don't feel bad for any of the animals that I killed. They were all for a reason.
Thankfully I wasn't driving the car, or else I would have probably swerved us into a ditch, but traveling late one night through the middle of nowhere Nevada, we must have clobbered more than a dozen jackrabbits. With my little brothers laughing like Bevis and Butthead in the backseat no less. It was awful.
What are we talking here, drowning kittens and puppies?
Ya, pretty much. But I used to torture cats as a child too, cuz I hate them.
Also as part of the farm, we used to kill a lot for meat. Not humainly either!
I feel terribly ashamed of it even to this day.
As an adult I had to kill a koi carp which was suffering from some fungal disease by cracking it on the head. It was horrible but it was suffering and had to be done.
Indirectly, I feed crickets, mealworms, locusts and other invertebrates to some of my animals, they are bought as pet food. Though, I mostly use cockroaches I breed myself now, I still need to buy some though.
I've killed many turkeys and chickens for food and to sell,what I was feeling was the importance of breaking the neck in one pull so the birds death wasn't drawn out.I've killed fish and rabbits for food,a quick kill is uppermost in my mind at the time.i haven't killed in a while,I've been relying on shops so like many others I've been eating horse.
Kittens for sure.
I bet you own a chainsaw.
This is why country folk are, well c unts. I believe that cuntry folk deserve to be bullied.
Sorry to break it to you, but insects and mammals are animals!
Half dead birds and mice that the neighbours cat used to hunt in my garden :mad:
And a squirrel I found with a broken back being pecked at by crows.... little **** bit me on his way out though :rolleyes:
