It was disturbing

I have to admit I have killed loads of things in my lifetime but all of them have been insects, so I don't know if that counts? I kill wasps, earwigs, woodlouse, flies by the thousands and mosquitoes, they are vermine too, I am highly allergic to wasps so the way I see it, it's them or me! Never killed anything bigger than a wasp though. Just think of that mouse as vermine and it doesn't seem so bad, use rational thinking and you won't feel so disturbed, I won't tell you how many mice there are in the world, or rats for that matter, doesn't bear thinking about!

Mostly fruit flies, and my conscience doesn't seem to bother me. Am I bad or what?

I kill bugs all the time. Don't you do that? I think I would be afraid to kill a mouse, especially because of the messy body, but you had to, didn't you? I saw a squirrel get hit by a car recently, and it didn't bother me at all. It was really fast and there are millions of squirrels.

I have done this several times. Once i had to put down a baby cockatiel that I was raising. It had gotten crop burn, and the crop had broken open. When I spoke with the vet they told me that the only thing they could do was to put the animal to sleep. I couldn't afford to pay for that, so I did it myself. I was a little upset when I did it, but I realized it was better for the bird. This way it did not suffer as much. I also killed a few other animals in my time. I have killed a squirrel, shot it clean through one ear and out the other. It was weird, but it didn't really bother me. The other animal I have killed is a rabbit. I shot this one as a mercy. The poor thing was sick. I could tell because it didn't run or even move when we would walk past it, it just sat there in front of our house. So, I shot it. For the most part, I have killed out of compassion for the animal involved, and it has not affected me in any negative way. I actually enjoy dissecting creatures to see what they are made of, but I do not enjoy the killing per se. I know that everything has a life and that at some point that life ends. Sometimes it is necessary to kill something which is suffering. However, I also kill for food. I have been hunting a few times and I enjoy it immensely. I also enjoy the meat that I bring to my own table this way.
