i shot a bird with my BB gun 🙁

and killed many frogs.

no major or crazy kills. i love teh animals <3
 
I have killed a few animals including some birds when I was a kid with a BB gun. I started to feel really bad about it so I stopped. That was followed by my old GI Joe collection becoming the new sacrifice. 🙂

one time when I was a kid, I was playing with my pellet gun and I was shooting at some birds. My only intention was to scare them, watch them fly off, etc. I aimed at one sitting by himself on a telephone wire in our backyard... and accidentally hit him square in the chest. He fell straight to the ground like a brick. I thought I was going to die, I felt so guilty. I ended up burying him in a cornfield nearby, and I didn't touch my pellet gun for months.

Animal? Yes. Killed lots of insects.

Mammals? No, I'm not a cold-hearted killer without any regard for life (not an American).


No, just a whiner.




Killed intentionally because of hunting. Venison is good.

I've hit a deer unintentionally with the car as well as the occaisional squirrel.


But never have killed something just to kill it.
 
Yes, I've shot pigeons off my roof with a pellet gun and killed a wounded one with a shovel because it was too weak to fly (I think a hawk injured it, either that or my neighbor winged it with his pellet gun).

I've also killed rats and snakes...shot a rabbit once too.

who hasn't hit a bird with their car, unintentionally, of course.

I just keep driving without lifting. If it's a pigeon or a crow I'll actually steer toward them. 😀
 
Oh HELL yes...

Used to kill a deer every fall
An elk every fall
a couple of antelope when we were in Wyoming
more gophers than I can count
assorted cats and dogs for one reason or another (put them down, hit with car/truck, etc.)
LOTS of humans...well, they were the "enemy" so not quite human...😛 but humanoid anyway...
A bag full of doves, a few pheasants, and a couple of sage hens. (grouse)
 
Yes.
Various birds as a kid.
Pitbull that was attacking sheep.
Coyote.
Deer.
Duck.
Goose (yes singular).
