I'm a vegetarian and Buddhist, so I don't kill, ever.
but I did kill a spider some days ago by mistake- see I hate those things, I can't have them in my house. so when I saw this big hairy bastard I put a bucket over him, closed him in there with a newspaper and tossed him out on the balcony.
that was late in the evening and unfortunately some heavy frost came overnight (I didn't see it coming, it's freaking March for gods sake!) and next morning I found the spider frozen to death right there where I tossed him
HA
reminds me of my dad, i got my bleeding-heart-for-insects-etc from him, he usually "snaps" away insects w his finger, and i told him once that snapping them away cracks their exoskeleton, and causes lethal infections in a matter of minutes. ohhhh he froooowned
another time, he was mowing the lawn, and right as he saw the biggest earthworm he had ever seen, it flew out the other side of the mower, cut up into many many pieces. that also totally ruined his day
i think... i COULD kill a fish again, but by decapitating it quickly. i just want it to die fast. i remember as a kid, when we went fishing w the family, they would just throw the fish into a bucket, where they suffocated to death, and i was SO frustrated. i kept telling them that the fish were allive, and they, believing all kids are dumbasses, told me "no theyre just twitching"
i'd tell them that those arent twitches, but gill movements, and obvious signs of suffocation, so they clubbed the fish a bit, and left them to suffocate w a smashed skull. goddamn
