Have you ever killed an animal?

...my three goldfish, as a child. I boiled them alive. Woopsie!

Yes I used to be the manager of a stray dogs home and had the horrible responsibility of putting to sleep dogs that could not be rehomed

No, but whilst going to guitar this summer I saw a guy plow into a family of geese...? Ducks? No! Seagulls! And while yes, seagulls are annoying..still I had never seen anyone kill an animal before...And it made a loud popping noise when he hit it too..And this might be a good time to illustrate just how loud it was. I had headphones on..and well, you know how loud kids play music..So..yeah..loud pop..

I hit something that scurried in front of my car one night. In the rear view mirror I saw it amble off towards a house. I stopped the car and got out to go after it. It was raining, traffic was so heavy, I was worried about causing an accident. A man in the car behind me rolled his window down and said "it ran off under the house it's fine you probably only knocked it, you'd better get going before you cause an accident" (like he was reading my mind). Weighing it all and the fact that I didn't see where it went I got back into the car and drove off. I hope whatever it was ended up being okay, I wasn't going that fast but you don't have to be....

I think he said that just to get you out of his way. Just kidding!

Odds are, it was probably just fine.

Yes, it was the time when I hit a deer with the taxi.

> Yes, it was the time when I hit a deer with the taxi.

So did you kill Bambi or his mother?

Yes. Two separate occasions where a dog ran out directly in front of me with no time to avoid it.

I worked in veterinary hospitals so I assisted with many humane euthanasia.

Yes, I ran over a few critters with my car.

One time, late at night I was on my way to work and suddenly a small pack of little dogs ran out in the road and I couldn't avoid them. I heard "thump-yipe yipe yipe yipe yipe...all the way from the front of the car to the back and heard it 'rolling' underneath the car.I flew to the side of the road and tried to see what happened and I saw the dog take off running with it's tail between it's legs. Then this guy from nowhere comes flying up next to me and said" have you seen a dog?". I said'Yes, I just ran over it...and it went that way' He just says sarcastically "Oh great" and took off running into the dark. So I am standing there wondering if I should stay with his car, because it was running and the door was open, or if I should just leave. After a very long 5 minutes, he came back carrying the dog. He said it was just a puppy and took off out of the yard when this other group of dogs came by. He threw the dog in the car and took off.
I can only assume the dog was ok because it ran away very fast.
They are pretty resilient.

Wow, that's pretty harsh, soslsol. I hit a deer once in my Dodge Colt. The deer took off and I had hair smeared all down my car and I was late for work. I got out of the car and realized I couldn't walk because the adrenaline rush trashed me pretty bad. Please remove that image you mental!, that ain't me!

Yes, I've hit birds with my car before. Tweety's got nothing on an Explorer doing 70 mph.

You've taken the Cruella DeVille Crown from Cloudhugger... you're officially public enemy # 1 to animals on the roadway, CF!!! What are you gonna' do now?

[whispers: Now scream, "I'm going to drive to Disneyland."]

some friends and i went out to kill gophers in some farmers field. i brought my 30.30 and blew one apart. killed a skunk one time. with crossbows.

by accident with my car........... a rabbit.

Yes, many! I do a lot of hunting. I eat what I shoot too. Well most of it. I've shot a lot of squrrils that I don't eat but there just gets to be to many of them at times.

Yes Also I did close to $7000.00 worth of damage on the car.

Not that I know of, anyway.

That is so true. About a year ago I was driving through NoWhere Nebraska. It's very very dark, and it's about 1 am and I am going about 60 on a 2 lane state road. there is nothing in front of me but the occasional tumbleweed when suddenly there were a few sets of eyes,the loud whump sound and an explosion of feathers. It all happened so very quickly, and I didn't want to stop because it was the middle of no where on a very dark 2 lane road in the middle of Bumfudgecaruba Nebraska. I seen the looks on their faces, I wish I could have seen the look on mine. My eyes were huge as saucers for another 12 miles to the gas station on the edge of civilization. I tenaciously stepped around the front of the car to see what horrors were left. Yep, there was a bird, a very large bird stuck in the grill of my car. I gave it a little tug and quickly stopped because it's head was jammed in there pretty good. I poked and prodded a little more, nope nope nope can not do this....And I am not going to drive all the way back to Chicago with a bird ass end first in the grill of my car. Seemed kind of disrespectful.(For me, the bird, and Chicago) So I went into the gas station and looked for a manly man to help me. Luckily in the middle of nowhere in Nebraska in the middle of the night this was not hard. A man and his son were in line ahead of me and I asked them in my sweetest girly girl city voice if they could help me. Oh, no problem they said and as I was paying for my purchases I saw them out there at my car. I was trying to hurry the guy so I could go out there and help or something but when I saw the man out there grab one of those windshield towels and grab a hold of the bird with two hands and tugged, and tugged...and tugged when it popped out and he threw it in the trash and they took off. I was glad to be where I was. Ewww.
The only thing I could figure was there were two of those small hawks chasing bugs, and the moths were going for the headlights so the hawk went for it, but me going 60 or so, and that hawk was going about the same, if he hadn't gone head first there wouldn't have been much left to figure out what it was.
After I got home, I popped the hood of the car, and there was it's head, still jammed in there. It didn't take me long to find a manly man to get the rest of it out.

My comment from qualification: 'Since insects are animals (look it up if you don't believe me), it would be virtually impossible to walk down a busy city street or through a wooded area or a meadow and not step on at least one insect. You wouldn't necessarily be aware that you did so, especially if it was a wooded area or a meadow. Therefore, the answer is obviously 'yes' for everyone.'

Insects are a part of the animal kingdom.

I killed king kong

Actually, tomorrow I am driving to the TriCities for a grocery shopping trip. And it's not MY fault that the damn birds swoop right in front of my grill! I'm not like most men who try to hit animals in the road... I do swerve to avoid them.

Oh Cloud... please don't take offense, but that is pretty funny!

My hubby drives trains, and he had a little tweety bird dive in front of the train with a hawk after it, and the tweety got away. The hawk lost. Thirteen thousand tons at 70mph is hard to argue with. The hawk was a hood ornament for nearly eight hours before finally blowing off the train engine's hood. My hubby and his coworker on the train were wondering if the tweety bird dove in front of the train on purpose.

spider and other creepy crawlies.

I do prefer to chase them out of the house but sometimes I get too creeped out.

You know tweety did! And no offense taken, it was very funny. I am just happy to have a captive audience to share it with.

Zillions. Most of them were bugs. A lot of other ones were fish and other seafood-type animals that I was about to eat.

Spiders, flies etc.

no, I dont think so. I only eat animals that somebody ELSE killed.

um, yeah, I forgot about insects. In that case, yes, I killed plenty of them. I didnt eat any of them though.

Pretty much everyone has killed insects.

I always kill insects (by accidents)
but as I am having birds, I lost 2birds within 18omnths, maybe I am the reason for their death, but it was sure an accident.

It seems you all people are criminals and killers.. I hafta be afraid of you!!

Birds by a car??

I am just wondering, where's cerealkiller? he has to say anything in this survey!!!!

I doubt there's anyone on Survey Central who hasn't broken a law at some time or another, or has never ever killed anything. That doesn't make us fearsome!

I am just kidding!

i blacked out from too much tequilla and wild turkey, when i woke up the zoo where i was night watchman was empty and i was coverd in fecal matter.............................thank goodness for A.A.

a rabbit driving across the great state of texas in the middle of the night. it was horrific.

it was totally fun and amazing, those ants didnt see it coming, but i was little and i had a squirt gun and shoes so who wouldnt

Never on purpose. Put a scented thingymajig in a socket near bird cages. 3 finches died.

Yes and so has anyone who has ever swatted a fly or stepped on a spider.

go get a life

What? My pets died!

Yes, I ran over a dog about 1am when I was like 20. It was the first animal I accidentally hit and felt so bad and confused at what to do for it that I pulled over and stay with it until about 3 am when the guy I was dating came looking for me. I also ran over a sequel once. I looked in the rear view mirror and seen it having like convulsions so I went back and ran over it again. I don't want to talk about the hamster!

well it seemed like the humane thing to do. If you ran over me and I was going to die anyway I'd want you to come back and finish me off.

sorry it was my kid cuzzin who wrote that

i guess this bird was deaf cos it was sitting in the middle of the road and i thought it was going to move..but it didnt..so like..splat *ugh*

Of course. I killed a bird while driving in my car (and I think a cat, again while driving, but I have only faint recollections of that because it was many years ago.)

Yes, but it was an accident. A kitten ran out in the road, and right under my tires

> under my tires

You know... I hear some 78 y/o @$$hole ran right in front of VP Cheney as he was shooting a rifle, while Cheney was hunting... without a hunting license.

Now Cheney is saying he had a beer or two. George is looking like the smart one now. J/K

a bird. I think I've done it twice, going down a viaduct and the birds are flying to low to get away from the SUV's and Vans.

LOL i remember like 5 years ago i had this hamster for 4 years "Rodney" well Rodney was dieing but still breathing, everyone was telling me to put em outta his misrey so....i wrapped em up in foil stuck em in a sock and burried him!

WHAT?!

yeah.....i miss rodney

Yes, I've killed hundreds of spiders, flies, beetles, ants... and all intentional.

Yes. For food, mercy killings and to save my mother's garden.

A raccoon, a squrriel a deer, and a cat. Hit them by accident while driving :(
