you did the right thing..........i can imagin how you felt......i had the same problem.......

hmm........most michevious/funny/worst thing i did would probably would be.........i can't remeber right.........i'll get back to yous

Cops are arseholes They might had a ''special time'' which involves them taking a car and speeding to the donut shop(fat bastards)but none the less they should have done something about it.Instead of killing you should fight fire with fire.Get a bunch of rats and slip them in their basement window.And if that didnt work slip some cockroaches in and watch them make a nest.And about the rabbit you should have made it run away and let a fox do youre dirty work :P You wouldnt have killed something or purpose and you got what you wanted

'you did the right thing'

Oh, so a Rabbit doing Rabbity things deserves to be killed brutally.

You should have just made Rabbit stew...at least you'd be killing it for a reason.

Jacob sure loves his animal doesnt he :D Id hate to waste a hambruger infront of him :)

I've never had rabbit stew. Hey! Now I have an excuse to kill my cousin's turtle.



I kid. :p

How can you make rabbit soup out of a turtle?

I was making a crack about turtle soup. I pray you were being sarcastic.

I like animals, but i'm not a veggie, i adore meat...mmmm...man meat is best, of course.

Domesticated Rabbits are stupid creatures anyway. Even the wild ones are pretty stupid.

I'll admit I've shot wild rabbits before with my rifles. I've also shot mice, rats, and various other vermin. Including pigeons.

They all carry foul diseases, bacteria, and are a menace to the urban and rural environments. So shooting them isn't really all that bad, because if people didn't, then we would be quite simply overrun.

Although it has a fairly different motive, SligSlinger killing that domesticated rabbit is not huge amounts more horrific than me killing a wild vermin rabbit. Essentially, the rabbit is making a nuisance of itself on property that the pets' owners have a responsibility to keep it from entering. If the owners neglect that responsibility and the rabbit continues to cause problems then either capturing it and handing it in to the animal rescue, or terminating it on site would be a justified course of action.

Legally, SS has the right to terminate a pest such as an escaped pet if the owners refuse to take responsibility for ensuring it stays where it's wanted. Especially if the owners wish it to be a pest.

me 2... although my main targets are squirrels and birds. Hunting is great fun.

My Fav shot- a few months ago, I was up in da mountains. Me and my grandfather & cousins had our rifles, we were in da jeep, and basicly just shooting shit. We eventually came to this huge field. About half way through the field, I see something move and tell my grandfather to stop the jeep. I take aim at a small object in the shadow of a tree, and fire. We get out and check it out. It happened to be a squirrel, and I blew it's head clean off! Great fun that trip was :)

I take it you're killing grays?

They've pretty much assured the extinction of the British red squirrel, so I kill red-gray hybrids and standard grays whenever I get the chance.

wtf. when did they start making different kinds of squirrel?

I blame god. ;)

I also hate it when people kill Rats, Mice, Pidgeons or anything else, i don't see the point in it. Especially when they could just as easily be captured and released some place else. By all means, release a Hawk into the air to deal with them, but why resort to shooting them with guns, just so you can fulfill that primitive need to hunt?

The Rabbit that SS did kill, didn't deserve to be killed because, i assume, it was in a hutch. Thus, it couldn't exactly hop away and be a nuisance someplace else. He could have released it, or ate it, but instead decided to kill it in the most horrific way possible. Fire.

Killing random animals for nothing else but fun is pathetic, and it happens more and more in Britain, from people nailing dead Cats to doors to hacking off the back legs of a Deer. And you can guarantee the perpetrators also justified it some way by saying they had some "foul disease" or were a "nuisance".

Sure, the Grey has been a bastard and practically killed off the Red, but let nature sort it out. Not some overhyped teen who's seething with so much testosterone his mind resets to that of a cavemans.

I sorta agree with Jacob, but I live in the states... All types of squirrels (almost all) are considered vermin, so technically, I'm serving my country...

We're only allowed to kill certain animals. The animals we kill are quite literally a danger to our industries, companies, and households. It's not a primitive need to hunt, hell I kill paper circles in my spare time. I like shooting - killing off vermin is not only challenging, but a service to the country.

Setting a hawk on these vermin creatures is no different to shooting them, with the exception that, your weapon will most likely die of a disease, and you don't actually control it.

If you read SligSlingers post properly, you would see that the Rabbit was actually escaping its hutch, and making a real racket in the crawlspace under his house each night, causing SS to lose sleep. The owners were reluctant to fix the hutch, and seemed glad that it was causing him problems, so he killed the pest.

Personally, I would've simply caught it and taken it to an animal rescue, where a responsible family could take it in. But SS snapping like that as a result of sleep deprivation is completely understandable. Although, to be honest I'm suprised he didn't just kill the thing and go back to bed.

Killing a cat or a dog is indeed a hienous crime. I would personally persue and seriously injure anyone who killed any of my animals, simply because I am so attatched to them. But something like a rabbit sits in a hutch all day long, doing nothing in particular - it's impossible to become attatched to an animal like that, and to be honest, from what SS tells me about the owners, I don't think they really cared anyway.

As for grey's, I rarely kill them unless I am in a place where I can use a gun without causing alarm to bystanders. In other words, in my back yard, in game parks, and in the countryside.

Foxhunting is wrong. I am personally against foxhunting, and beleive it to be nothing more than a form of sadistic ritual. The hounds, the dress, the dogs, all of it. It's brutal, the animal suffers a long, drawn out death. As a rule of thumb, I never take a shot on a vermin if I don't think I can take it out without it even knowing - in contrast, these foxhunters allow their dogs to quite literally butcher the fox, then as it's being slaughtered, they take trophies like ears and paws.

foxhunting is indeed bad... I would never participate... unless they let me do it without the hounds, without the fox knowing (I wouldn't be happy if I knew I was about to get killed), without the dressup, and let me use my own gun.

If they let me do it within my own preferences, I might stuff the damn thing. It puts the entire body to use, and is less degrading to the fox than cutting off an ear or paw. Not to mention if saves the body from buzzards and such.

The only foxes which need irradiating are the urban foxes. They kill a lot of cats, rip up a lot of garbage sacks, and are a general nuisance. Even then I'd never Stuff the animal though, it would be buried where it was killed.

fine.. buried, not stuffed...

I win. \o/

:D

this time...

Foxes rule.

I would've fixed the hutch myself. I could never kill an animal, no matter what it was. Squirrel, rabbit, rat, dog. I pretty much find hunting, in general, to be pretty much worthless. Going out into the wilderness where you don't belong, and popping an utterly defenseless deer, rabbit, etc... with no way to fight back just seems wrong. Shooting may be fun, and make you feel manly, whatever you like it for. But any live target, unless for a specific, justified reason against the individual, just doesn't float my boat. Domestic animal abuse just flat out boils my blood. I quite enjoy Jacob's opinions here.

And, for irony lovers out there, I'm currently listening to one of my playlists. And "Do The Evolution" by Pearl Jam came on about halfway through my post.

And... worst/whatever thing.

Though I don't like to think about it, I accidentally killed the first pet hamster my family ever had.I was back in, probably 1st or 2nd grade. That's more than I like to say, even. Sure, I was young, blissfully ignorant. But I still feel horrible. There's also some more recent, nonsensical things that most people would hardly consider wrong. But I tend to be a more moral person when it comes to anything regarding others. Except my mom. Because sometimes, she's just illogical or stupid.

ya, but you know your getting good when you blast a 3-inch bird out of the sky (while it's flying) 150 feet in the air, or getting a one-hit kill at a lizard running top speed across the campground. Theres a certain thrill at that point, that you can't really get from other things.

I agree. I can shoot a fast-flying sparrow out of the sky with an off-range pellet gun at 100 feet. Not good, but impressive for a dork like me.

Getting good at what? Ending the life of a living creature that certainly doesn't deserve death? I just don't see the practicality of killing things for sport. The bird wasn't expecting to get shot. It didn't do anything to get shot. You had no reason to shot it.

If you want a thrill, go pleasure yourself. If you want to shoot something, go paintballing (If you can face the wrath of cheaters and 10 year olds with rich daddies). Just don't go around flaunting blissful superiority. If you want an honorable head to mount on your wall, go try to wrestle a bear of equal weight.

LIKE US! o_O

Paintballing, eh? I used to but I grew out of it, I did enjoy pounding the brats in social arenas, twas fun. Shooting birds is wrong, I agree, but I do alot of wrong things and I find it as sport (as asinine as that may sound). Wrestling a bear would be fun, but I'm sure a bear fetus weighs more than me.

yes, I paintball, but at the end, your target is still alive... not the same, man.
