What sort of animals have you killed?

Dorsk 81 · Post by **Dorsk 81** » 2003-07-27 06:25pm

An unhealthy amount of spiders-with shoes, newpapers, fly spray and of course my fav, deoderant and a lighter. Oh and once I drowned one in shampoo.

Rats-They were living in my roof so I did what any smart person would do; I got a long bit of hose pipe, selotaped it to the exhaust pipe of my mums car, took the other end of the pipe and put it in the attic, turned the engine on and left it for around an hour. Needless to say it was a couple nights before I slept up here again.

Moths-It gets warm up here so I have the window open and moths fly in. Most effective methods: Deoderant+lighter (leaves a bad smell though), vaccum cleaner, fly spray.

Ants-I used to pour petrol of ant nests and set fire to them

Things with more than four legs and a load of maggots the other day when i found a decaying present from my cats.

All kinds of insects.

Have a very nice day.

Pretty much every form of mollusc.

Cattle, Wallabies, Kangaroos, Possums, Cats, Dogs, many types of fish (including smaller sharks) and several types of birds.

Birds 3-4
Innumerable bugs
Countless bacteria in the process of washing my hands
Slugs
Worms
Not much else.

Idiot. I'm surprised your mum hasn't complained about the decaying
rat smell in your attic yet..

Many, many fish, from the times I used to go out with my grandad on his fishing boat.

Insects and other creepy crawlies I don't count since practically everyone's killed thousands of them at least. My most memorable insect kill was a scorpion while visiting my friend in New Mexico, that's not something you see every day.

Other than that everything else I've killed has been done under the wheels of my family's cars, this includes squirrels, racoons, rats, and a couple birds that flew into the windshield.

I've never killed anything that wasn't an arthropod. Stomped all sorts of ants, killed spiders when my little sister was afraid of them, squashed grasshoppers just because, swatted flies with great effort, and mosquitoes. Oh yes, mosquitoes. They're tricky bastards, almost as qucik as houseflies, but it's easy if you know the trick. You hold your arm out right under and hold real still. It'll land and walk around a bit, and when it pauses and is about to bite, you slap it real quick.

Giant squid?

Well, let's see here:

Numerous deer (4), squirrels (lost count years ago), rabbits (2), fish (same as squirrels), game birds (quail, dove, etc.), insects, and arachnids. Oh, and one cow when slaughtering some at my grandfather's farm. Throw in a few raccoon and opossum as road kill, and you have my tally.

Out of those, I have only not eaten the insects, arachnids, and opossum. The raccoon I ate wasn't road kill. Squirrel and dumplings is one of the finer things in country life...

<edit>
After reading this, I assume that us hunters are few and far between on SDnet...

I said "Pretty much", not: "I had battered Cthulhu with Chips last night..."

My mom's the "Great white huntress..."

usually I don't kill, as I am horrible at fishing.

I did own a black Lab and a few geese that were quite adept at it, and returning their cath to us humans...

Nothing bigger than an insect, to my knowledge.

One night when I was in high school, it was raining really hard, and the rain brought out about a hundred thousand frogs. They were jumping all over the road, and I swerved around like an idiot trying to avoid them because I didn't want to kill them. I don't think I succeeded, since they were everywhere. Plus it was amazingly reckless of me to drive all over the road like that, but I didn't want to be a frog murderer. My friends laughed.

So, other than those frogs, the only time I've killed has been when I've accidentally crushed ants and other insects unknowingly. I never seek them out.

Oh, and my old roommate killed my pet fish Stripey, who was a year older than I was (he was 21 when he was MURRRDERED!, which is damn good for a catfish won at a carnival by my parents). But that doesn't really count for anything, does it? Oh well. Felt the urge to vent.

Today I added another squirrel and a huge dragonfly to my kill count, both of them were killed while I was out biking. The squirrel must've been retarded or something, it ran back & forth across the bike path when it saw my bike coming, and then it ran between my wheels just before getting run over. The dragonfly got splatted on my glasses which blinded me for a bit and scared the shit out of me and almost knocked my glasses off. Made a pretty bad mess too and I had to rinse bug guts off my face and glasses off with my water bottle.

Aside from a lot of bugs:

Squirrels - We've got a major problem with them in my neighborhood. They've basically turned into bushy tailed rats and so they destroy just about everything if they think it's got food. Usually dispatch them with a pellet rifle.

Raccoons - Same deal really.

Mice - used to work in the Garden Center so we constantly had to trap the suckers. One guy actually suffocated one in helium, really weirdo.

All right, then. How about squid, octopi or cuttlefish of any size?

Enigma · Post by **Enigma** » 2003-07-28 09:05pm

Victims: One squirrel and a sparrow.

Murder Weapon: My car.

Arrow · Post by **Arrow** » 2003-07-28 09:20pm

1 turtle. The poor bastard got catapulted into the air by my rear tire. I'm sure the guy behind me loved that.

Several mice.

A ground hog that I chased out into the road with a BB gun, where it was prompty nailed by a passing car.

Multiple insects. However, I don't kill spiders. I save 'em and turn them loose on all the other insects. It beats hunting down flys.

Squid - yes, multiple times.

Octopi - yes, multiple times, though with a degree of regret as the are just plain cool.

Cuttlefish - no.

Fish-fed to turtles
mice-fed to monitor lizard
insects-fed to turtles AND monitor lizard

I generally dont kill animals unless I am feeding one of my little reptilian friends

You know, Duchess, half the time I wonder if I suffer from "Tyler Durden" syndrome and you're my female alter ego, the other half you just scare the dung out of me!

Do you guys want the long list (unabridged) or the short list (PC and PETA-friendly)?

The long list with full graphic details on how each animal was gruesomely tortured and killed.
