They say those who torture animals as kids are likely to grow up abusing women.

I actually kinda sorta was mean to a frog once when I was 13. My buddy pitched one to me like a softball and I smacked it with a shoved like a baseball bat. It splattered all over the side of the house.

It was funny at the time and we laughed our asses off... actually the thought of it still kind of sparks a little chuckle.. but mostly guilt.

All I can say in my defense is that it probably died instantly... so technically it wasn't tortued. And it was just a one time thing that was partially a stupid idea we got from Beavis and Butthead.

I don't know if you can even torture a bug. Do bugs feel pain? Or any kind of negative feeling when u rip thier legs off?

As a young kid I occasionally hurt & killed insects. At one time, I was nine or so, I thought it was fun to chase our bird through the house with a water pistol. The poor birdy got a heart attack or something and died with me holding it :sad:

I know it is what many kids do but I really feel shitty about it. Kids can be monsters and I was no exception. It sometimes gets smacked on my plate during mushroom trips, and there's a ton of guilt involved. There's no atonement for it, if there is such a thing as a Judging in the afterlife I'm sure it'll be brought up, its one of the very few rotten things I did in my life.

Oh yea.. I guess I also did fry an ant with a magnifying glass once when I was 7.. if that counts. It was more of a science experiment than to have any desire to see an any fry.

Don't feel too guilty. I wouldn't consider chasing a bird with a water gun TORTURE even if it DID die. I don't really think it's torture unless you're intentionally aware that the animal is being caused pain and this is what gets you off. I mean I occasionally would chase my cats with a water gun. That's not so much torture as it is just teasing them. They annoy the shit out of me on purpose sometimes.. so sometimes I like to return the favor :wink:

As a kid, I can see how you would think chasing a bird wouldn't be any harm either.

Wow
nice thred
whos crazy,whos not
I can honestly say the only creature I remember killing was a couple frogs when I was young
Some friends and I would smash them with bricks ..Ahh the horror

At one time when I was about 13-14 I was fascinated with injecting things into crickets and worms
I had a syringe and all kinds of household items ..

kids will be kids..I guess :tongue2:

I'm always doing a project :smirk: I'm on a continuous quest to learn and this often inspires me to do these polls, especially if I feel they can be interesting things to know for others.

If a poll generates an interesting statistic, preferably one you didn't expect and one that gets you thinking, then mission accomplished.

Polls are an excellent way to get quick facts, especially on things people might not want to post about with their name next to it.

As a rule of thumb, there's always something behind it when I make a poll, and that usually is me trying to get a better understanding about shroomerites and people in general.

I burned and crushed ants, but that's about it. And mosquitoes of course.

I'm not going to lie, I've torched a few insects in my time, but I've never intentionally hurt an animal/fish. Well hunting and fishing aside, I've tried to be as humane as possible.


My cousin used to do all sorts of shit to frogs and small animals when he was younger. It disgusted me how he could stomp on a frog or mouse and then laugh about how cool it was.

He's now in the Army stationed in Iraq. I guess that's a good place for someone who has the urge to kill.

I remember him telling me about 2 years ago that him and a bunch of army buddies got piss drunk one night and slit a dogs throat and threw it on a fire. I couldn't talk to him for nearly 3 years because I was so disgusted at what he did and openly bragged about. :sad:

When bugs used to enter my room when I was younger, I would punish them for trespassing by wrapping them up in a little tape prison then throwing them in the trash.  I would tape them so they couldn't move at all.  Sometimes I'd burn them a little if I had to really make a strong example to the other bugs not to intrude into my room.

::shame::  :undecided:

I used to yes, and I was also mean to cats (I had a troubled childhood).

Now though, I won't go out of my way to harm even the most miniscule insect. If I see one crawling around near me, I just let them do their thing. Some of my friends will just smash them without a second thought. It may not mean much, but I try to integrate myself with my environment as much as possible.

huehuecoyotl has a good quote in his sig that I like to relate to my last paragraph:

"I've told you already that to be inaccessible does not mean to hide or to be secretive," he said calmly. "It doesn't mean that you cannot deal with people either. A hunter uses his world sparingly and with tenderness, regardless of whether the world might be things, or plants, or animals, or people, or power. A hunter deals intimately with his world, and yet he is inaccessible to that same world."

"That's a contradiction," I said. "He cannot be inaccessible if he is there in his world, hour after hour, day after day."

"You did not understand," don Juan said patiently. "He is inaccessible because he's not squeezing his world out of shape. He taps it lightly, stays for as long as he needs to, and then swiftly moves away leaving hardly a mark." --Carlos Castaneda

I murdered a crayfish with Raid foam when I was little. It was horrible and I felt tremendous remorse.

i've heard that on some parts of the town there are kids that live in the slums and entertain themselves by skinning a cat.

the trees used to have dried cat skins on them, like flags waving in the wind.

they did it by catching a cat, hung it by its tail to a tree branch, cut an X to it's forehead with a linoleum knife, put vinegar or something into the cat's asshole and as the cat tried to get away it struggled downwards, thus falling out of its own skin. the cat's supposed to run a few meters before it drops dead from teh shock.

He's not married. I seriously doubt he'd get in a physical altercation with someone close to him. He's always had respect towards people. I'm sure Iraq might have changed him though. :frown:

I remember during Christmas when I was 8 (he's 6months older than me), he put my grandparents poodle in an empty trash can because it wouldn't stop barking at him.

I used to kill flies when they were getting on my nerves. Later I have
made some experiments with them. Those are the only animals I can kill
without bad conscience :laugh: I am very friendly :laugh:

I used to be more cruel than now, I am always trying to be less so.

When I was a child I used to torture my GI Joes - burning them, spraying them with spray-paint "blood", exchanging their bodyparts with other figures, and "water boarding" them. I also used to sing "Dead Ant, Dead Ant" to the tune of "The Pink Panther" as I stomped on ants near a hill while camping. I have kicked a dog or two in my life. Never did any physical damage, but I am far from proud of it now.

My old boss used spray-propellant fire to destroy a hornet's nest in the dumpster area of an old job and I assisted him. I do not recommend it for many reasons.

Every couple years we get a huge ant infestation in the apartment. I generally use bleach to take care of the hundreds of ants that swarm our kitchen. The bleach works just as good as RAID, as well as kills their scent trails and helps you remove any food source that might be left for them. This used to bother me immensely (taking 500-1000 lives in one day), but I honestly cannot find another more humane way to remove them. Nor can I tolerate them being there.

So I guess I'm still cruel, but I don't find any pleasure in the activity. Usually I'm just relieved when the war is over.
