Today I did do killing a rabbit with a shovel.

[Harold_Shand]

Someone suggested I should put the poor rabbit in a box.

"oh, yeah, right, I'll have a look"

I twatted the rabbit.

The person then passed in their car and wound down their window.

Smiling - "Did you find the rabbit?"

"Yes", I answered with a shovel in one hand and a tied up black bin bag in other.

"Wey! You should have taken it to the vet, man".
His wife was distraught and shaking her head. He shook his head too as he drove off.

Why did this guy tell you about a rabbit? Was it in a trap or what?

*awaits all the posts from people saying how cruel that was*

[Vin]

Bunny murderer!

[Dragonfly]

You killed a bunny or some man killed it ? why kill a poor bunny!

So a bunny was half dead, and you had a discussion with another man...

and then you killed it rather than taking it to a vet as per the other man's suggestion?

Your OP is very confusing

[The Artist]

see!

Probably easier to put a bunny out of it's misery than taking it to a vet. Vet wouldn't do anything without a bit of wonga and rspca are more hassle than they are worth.

[smegballs]

I'm assuming a rabbit got hit by a car....

Then the OP and some other car discussed "helping" the rabbit

The OP made the call to ease the bunnys passing with the assistance of a shovel

The occupants of the second car were shocked by such brutality

Life goes on.....


Remember OP, free rabbit!! If its not too mashed you could make a nice pie or stew!

[Harold_Shand]

I'm a park keeper, I got told about a sick rabbit in the grounds and that perhaps I should somehow rescue it.

Both it's eyes were missing and it had a hole in it's breast. I don't think a lethal injection would have been any quicker or humane.

POW!

The first smack made it jump about two feet in the air and make an unpleasent 'bark' noise, the second was splintered skull and brains, the third was probably a bit gratuitous. All over in 10 seconds.

Bright eyes, burning liiiiike fire.

In hindsight, my original post was very confusing.

Aye, I did the same once to a very sick rat... with a claw hammer.

First two hits were fine, it was the third that smooshed it... all over me.

bloke at work once did similar

it was suffering

my guess is myxomatosis, which is what bloke at work reckoned the one he found had

he used a crook lock

taking time to take it to a vet would just mean more suffering time for bunnykins

maybe the bloke and wife werent aware it had lost its eyes due to the disease

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myxomatosis

take it to a vets surgery and you would be potentially exposing pet bunnykins to the nasty bug

i'm sure our resident vet stink, has mentioned mercy killing myxomatosis rabbits before.

You can still eat moxied rabbits if you've got the stomach for it... Once the skins of they're fine..

Not sure about the hole in the breast tho.....

If you were to eat it, check the liver to see if its all mottled or manky, pretty good disease indicator in animals..

[colin1]

I think eating a diseased animal is unwise.

If its immune system is weakened, you dont know what other bugs and nasties its carrying too.

Or at the very least stewed for a long time rather than quick fired semi rare.

Well I think you did the right thing.

Putting it into a box, and taking it to the vets would have taken time...which in fact means more suffering for the rabbit!

Taking it to the vets would have cost money. Lethal injections do not come free.

OK if it had no eyes and a hole in the chest probably best put it out of its misery. Bit graphic though but I am the sensitive type for soft ferry animals poor bunny.

For future reference, it's a damn sight less messy to break the neck. Well done for actually doing something instead of watching and shaking your head whilst someone else got their hands dirty while helping.

Anyway, I agree that the right thing was done. Sounds a bit "Here's Johnny" style but never-the-less.

You missed a verse, but, whatever!

[stinkwheel]

If you'd taken it to the vet, I can assure you he'd have taken it through to the back room and quickly but efficiently chapped it on the back of the neck with the edge of his hand. Instantaneously breaking its neck, severing the brainstem and causing instant death. As has been said, blue juice costs money and administering it is stressful to the animal.

This takes a degree of technique though. A heavy, blunt instrument applied to the back of the head with sufficient force is a good substitute for the inexperienced and is invariably prevents further suffering as rapidly as possible.

It is actually illegal to release rabbits back into the wild, they are classed as vermin. Injured rabbits taken to the vets go to the big wheelie bin in the sky.
