Anonymous Coward User ID: 12378649 United States 05/28/2012 09:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I was about 17 and a relatively new driver. While driving on a two lane road in the suburbs, with some friends, a rabbit ran across the road in front of me. I put on the brakes but it was too close and We heard the car hit it. I pulled over to the side of the road and my friends and I started looking in the brush along the side of the road. We found it lying on its side panting briskly and some blood coming from its mouth. We discussed what to do and I decided since I had hit it I would take it to a Vet in hopes the bunny could be saved. I picked him up gently with both hands under him supporting his head and body together and then, It died in my hands. We left the bunny there and went on our way. It was very traumatic for me but I realized all I could do was say a prayer for the rabbit's soul. |

I stepped on it's head and took it home and ate it. They taste real good. Just step on it's head and roll it around with your foot. That will kill it. Hell, skinning them usually kills them. Well, not so much the skinning as the gutting. Either way....SUPPER!! |

Another is organ donation - I know it's the "right" thing to do, but still I pause to sign up.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1663367 Don't put yourself in the position of being an organ donor - there's too much incentive for doctors, hospitals and organ brokers (yes "organ brokers") to let you die and sell your organs = big bucks! Be careful of signing a "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) order as well - lots of supposed medical professionals regard this as "Do Not Treat", even when the patient does not meet the criteria for DNR - especially if the patient is elderly. |

Doomwaffles User ID: 16712137 Belgium 05/28/2012 11:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just wondering, spiritually speaking... Quoting: ChickenInACan There is a baby bunny we found in the back yard today with a broken neck. He cannot sit up straight and can only twirl around in fear when we come near. He cannot walk. He seems to be just laying there panting now. He is breathing very fast and his eyes seem to be rolling back into his head. Should we put him out of his misery? He seems to be in a lot of pain. If yes, how should we do it? We don't have any guns here oh i dunno judge for yourself ! |
