Today I Got High and Murdered a Bunny Rabbit

[bronco]

Well guys today was.......interesting.

Me and a freind had just finished up a blunt when another buddy of mine pulled his car in my driveway. We were just shooting the shit, talking, when I notice a bunny rabbit hopping around in my backyard.

"Dude grab the compound" says my freind.

I will preface this next part with a little info; I don't hunt, never have. I own a compound bow that I've had forever, just for target shooting.

"Alright, but I'm gonna miss" I say and grab the bow. All I had was one slightly bent aluminum arrow, which didn't have a tip because I lodged it in a tree and broke it pulling it out.

So I grab the bow, and since the rabbit is only 30 or so feet away I don't bother to put the pull strings on the wheels, meaning the bow only has about 30 pounds of pressure when I draw it. So I take aim at the thing, which is stationary by a fence, and say "Theres no fucking way I'm gonna hit this thing".

Well yeah, I guess there was a fucking way. Because I let go, and watched it impact dead center on the side of the rabbit, making a loud THUMP! The rabbit immediately turned and ran into the woods, while I was still staring in shock.

The situation immediately turned from this to this to this .

Me and my freinds ran into the woods to see where it went, and there it was. Not 15 feet away from where it was hit, lying on the ground. It twitched for a little while, and then died right there. No blood, you could barely see the impact spot.

Holy shit. I felt like a fucking murderer. I buried the poor little fella, we had a funeral for him on the spot. Completely killed my high.


Now I don't feel so bad about it, as rabbits are essentially big squirrels, and people hunt them all the time....but I live in MA.

I'm a pacifist, I would never (barring this time) hurt an animal, I used to work at a kennel for Christs sake. Funny thing is people used to bring their rabbits there too when they went on vacation and didn't want to leave them home. Good thing I don't work there anymore


Moral of the story: Don't shoot at what you don't intend on killing. I'm not gonna let this ruin my week, but I do (and probably deserve to) feel like an asshole.



Fucking strange week.

Dont feel bad I shoot birds in my garden with the air rifle atleast once a week, Not many come in there anymore though :/

Got pretty much the same story as you. I used to shoot birds with my bb gun all the time when I was little, I lived in the country and there wasn't much to do. Well one day I saw a little rabbit about 100 or so feet away. I took aim, said to myself I will never hit it, well I sure as shit did. It jumped about 10 feet in the air, took off, and then sat down in the grass about 50 or so feet from where it previously was.

I was in total shock and horror and went over to look at it, it was laying there in pain not moving so I got a shovel and ended its life as fast as possible. I felt like absolute shit for the next 2 days, and never used my bb gun since. Well I lied, I still shoot the raccoons because they are aggressive towards my cats.

RIP little rabbit

You should have atleast cooked it up.

aw, i'm sorry that happened.
i shot a gun my first time last weekend, and broke down crying before i even shot the damn thing. just hard for me to accept the idea that they're solely made for killing.

from one non-violent pacifist to another, it's ok. lesson learned. now you know you definitely are not interested in hunting again.

Ouch man I feel sorry for you, that sucks.

I had to help clean up a yard and there was a dead deer so my friend had to chop the deer's head clean off to fit it in a garbage can.

I remember my father grew up on a farm and he says that he killed countless birds with his pellet gun for fun. Now he loves birds and feels very guilty over what he did as a kid and that is why he wouldnt let me get a pellet gun as a kid.

[GirlyS]

Awww, I'm sorry. At least you know now, shit happens and it's not always good.


My boyfriend killed a snake the other day and he sat there for about 5 minutes feeling horrible. I just told him the story about Adam and Eve and how snakes were the bad guys. That cheered him up a bit, but I know he was bummed about taking a life. Oh on a better note, while he was in the act of killing this snake a small fish popped out of his mouth, still alive, and swam away. It made him feel alright that he saved the fish!

Anyway, cheer up buttercup. There are millions of rabbits in the world and they reproduce like nobody's business.

aww man. that sucks, yeah you shouldn't have shot at it, at least you learned a lesson, and that in mortality too
