the course was designed to teach you what to do if you're lost in the wilderness.

we dont worry about cruelty to animals in the wilderness.

and the animal's neck was snapped in 2 hits anyways. (i got the magic touch ;))

edit:

i used a wooden stick i picked up off the ground. i beleive it may have been oak.

Your totally fvcked up in the head.

How bout I pickup a stick in the woods, then beat the back of your neck with it, TWICE.

You probably wouldnt die, so then how bout I skin your paralised body?

Then stick you over a fvking BBQ, then tell me "Animal Cruelty Doesnt Matter". jerk

jesus, man, it's a damn training exercise!

you know how cows get killed? guy goes out with a .22 and shoots them in the back of the head.

chickens get their heads lobbed off.

what does it matter that the way i had to do it (cause i didnt have any better options) was to snap it's neck? it's paralyzed, wont be feeling any pain. beleive me, it is better than the alternative (me using a knife and hand cutting off the head).

looking back, now i would have after breaking the neck, immediately put it on something and used the hatchet to cleanly separate the head (and remove any lingering doubt of alive/dead)

edit:

and i beleive that where i hit, actually collapsed a portion of the back of the skull and separated the brain stem. so it was completely brain dead at that point.

Neg. Cows are electrocuted. I live near a cattle ranch. I can smell them being killed when I jog during the summer. :(

ups

actually both ways are done.

on smaller cattle ranches, where they cant afford the electrocution, they just shoot em in the back of the head, and butcher them right there.

mmm...rabbit is great. My grandfather used to shoot the ones that would snack on his garden and make rabbit sauce piquante. mmm...that was some good stuff. K-Paul's makes a pretty good Panne' rabbit as well.

BTW......did something bad happen to Oolong?

Oolong has passed away.

I missed this...was there a thread?

BTW, anyone have a collection of bunny/pancake pics to link to? I want them all!

During the hippie days of the early 70's, a friend of mine raised them in a hutch behind his garage. Pick em up, flick of wrist=severed spinal cord. BBQ'd up real good. After the hippie girls had their fill he would tell all. The looks were a genuine Kodak moment. No pics, sorry.

Getting half loaded and watching his stud, Bingo, do his super fast thing would always put us in histerics......:D

Seriously though, would it be wrong, to ummm, fatten up a rabbit and eat it once it's ready. You know, some frying pan action.

we took one, grabbed it by the hind legs, took a stick and bashed the back of it's head till blood came out of the artery in it's neck. (made a neat little fountain).

then we snapped the neck further.

then we skinned the sucker, and boiled the meat.

and ate the eyeballs.

it was delicious.

That is wrong, and sick, and very wrong :disgust:

You bastard :|

Bunnys are for pancake's only :|


this was at SERE training.

SURVIVAL...EVASION...RESISTANCE....ESCAPE...

went there as a boy scout.

what's wrong with eating a wabbit?

There's nothing wrong with eating a wabbit. What's wrong is bashing it on the back of the head until it does. Didn't you have knives??

What we used to do (before our son got old enough to decide that his favorite animal is a rabbit) is, right before Easter, ask around at grocery stores until we found one that still had some for sale in the meat department, then we'd fry up the Easter Bunny for Easter dinner. You should see the look on some people's faces when you buy rabbit meat that close to Easter.

how are you gonna humanely kill a rabbit that is trying to bite you with a pocketknife?

think about this now? what i did WAS the most humane thing i could have done.
