So, what animals have you killed? (if any) Multiple choice poll

[Kyriakos]

Just a poll about having killed creatures such as insects, arachnids or other.

Personally i only killed insects (likely not even a spider, but i am not sure about that), but loads of them ( ) back in elementary school. Mostly red ants, but also some bees (got stung in the process, rightly so).

My murderous spree ended on a specific day of summer in the ending parts of elementary school (possibly 4rth or 5th grade, 6th being the final), when a flying purple beetle bit me and the pain was so horrible that i decided i had better things to do).

Forgot fish and some other maritime creatures (eg octopodes, sharknados etc).

I make it a point to hunt tourists for sport on a nearby island at least once a year.

In all seriousness, just insects/ arthropods and fish. I recall accidentally stepping on snails and slugs on more than one occasion growing up. Oh, and I ran over a stupid bird that wouldn't get off the road when I was 16/17. I don't recall any other instances.

Fish, mice, rats, birds, and insects.

Livestock, and human beings, by proxy.

By proxy? You pay professionals for your murders? You know, I'm planning an island getaway soon, if you have anyone you want to get rid of....

 

[Borachio]

I do pay professional slaughtermen, and various military personnel, it's true. But those payments are also by proxy.

Then have your proxy send me a list of targets and I'll send him my bank account details.

(Mods. We are joking. Or at least I am; Borachio seems like the bloodthirsty sort. Don't ban us.)

^Remember that tyrant of Corinth who meant to be buried in a place no one would know, so he paid two guards to kill an un-named man passing a bit of the town one set night (it was him) and bury him, but also paid four guards to kill those two guards without knowing why, and eight other guards to kill those four.



Don't want to be buried in a set cemetery.

Ran once over a cat with my car, by accident, and else just insects.
Unless you count mouse traps, then also mice.

 

[bhsup]

Rabbits, squirrels, game birds, fish, more fish, any insect that's bugging me. Haha, bugging me.... hohoho, I should do stand up.

I have killed pretty big fish practicing spearfishing. Where would that go?

Presumably a grill.

Alternatively tied to the side of his boat to give the sharks something else to eat.

That just gives them an appetiser.

 

[Thorgalaeg]

Small ones went to the frying pan never the grill, big ones to the closest restaurant since i have no enough room in my refrigerator.

Frying pan? What are you, one of those fancy people that actually know how to cook something that doesn't simply require a lot of heat and a little time?

 

[NovaKart]

I ran over a possum once.

That's old, man. And the sea.

How the blanking blank did I miss that reference? I love that book! Newborns leave me without enough sleep to function, obviously.

Well done, and a nicely parsed reply as well!
