Killing

I killed an apple, once.

I accidentally boiled a squirrel, my H2O2 rocket missed fired and got stuck in a tree and the exhaust kind killed it

When I was a young buck I worked for an apartment maintenance company. Painting, landscaping, construction, etc. etc. We had to regularly kill groundhogs. I had to smash one with a hammer after my boss flushed it out of the ground, and I was mildly traumatized by that for a few days. I didn't do that again. Also once when I was like 9 or 10 I was shooting squirrels with a BB gun with my neighbor who was older than me, and I was intentionally missing but wound up hitting one and I felt awful for weeks.

Probably the most traumatic thing though: There was another time, when I was also very young, that my brother and I were throwing stuff into a conker tree in Regents Park in London. Conkers are these brown shiny nut things that you can collect if you're a kid and have nothing better to do. Anyway, I wound up accidentally hitting a bird's nest, and a baby bird fell out and plopped on the ground right in front of me! I was devastated and didn't know what to do. My older brother had to step on it and put it out of its misery. It took me a while to get over that one and I never went looking for conker shells again.

I kill bugs in my house on the "are they gross/biting me/scary-looking/annoying" scale. So, I won't kill a lady bug or a spider because lady bugs are cute and spiders are useful (unless they're poisonous) but I will kill a gnat or a wasp or a mosquito.

I've killed several deer, rabbits and various species of fish.

They were all quite tasty.

Moose is next up.

Haven't killed anything outside of the occasional bug, although I try to avoid killing those as much as possible.

I've killed thousands of germans, japanese, carthaginians, egyptians, and gauls in various video games...does that count?

I have also killed while hunting and burned thousands of fire ants. Fire ants are a particular problem in our area and I use a shovel to open up the mound then a blowtorch. Killing, what looks like, thousands of ants per mound. They are such a pest that it is actually the thing I enjoy killing the most. Plus they are a danger to baby kittens and children running around.

I try to kill as less as possible bugs (except for "melgas", they should really be exterminated), even inside my house, I pick little bugs with a bit of toilet paper then I flush it. I do not feel bad for flushing it, whereas I would if I squished them.

I killed a rabbit with an air BB gun

no remorse, it was stealing stoof out of our garden.

I headshot a robin with an old-fashioned bow&arrow from 6 feet away. I cried and felt awful.

 

[Japanrocks12]

just bugs and stuff

 

[thrawn0r]

Never killed anything bigger then a spider.

The Feds just make me have an automatic rifle at home, why should I kill anything? ^^

Who knows how many millions of people have died in my Civ 3 campaigns. What? Level 30 cities are too rebellious... solution? Abandon them and resettle with your own people... akin to intentionally withdrawing from a city in Rome: Total War, letting it revolt, and then massacring the populace when you retake it, something I do to purge my empire of rebellious outskirt cities.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

I killed a copperhead with a katana once.

 

[Godwynn]

Do fetuses count?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I tortured and killed some cats as a kid.

But today i only kill my unborn children, by the millions.

Never killed anything smaller than a human. Except babies.

Only when it's cooked just right.

Largest thing I ever killed was a Black Bear with a 30-06 rifle.
