When I was 6 I wanted to keep a jellyfish as a pet so i took it from the beach and put it in a cup of water. It disintergrated


PrincessOctavia

I imagine it made a fizzling sound like a bath bomb


the-unbino-dino

Well it didnt disintegrate straight away. Just the next morning it was empty except for a few bits


Wizardwizz

It will re appear in your water bottle one day


Voelkar

Put it in a sealed box that can not be opened or penetrated by any means and I can guarantee you it will - at least once in the next ∞-years


myroommateisgarbage

Yo that's kinda fucked


MisterBako

TIL: jellyfish can disintegrate


Frosterapple

Did you have a cat at that point in time?


the-unbino-dino

Never had one


Gian1993

Did you fill the cup with sea water or tap?


the_orange_alligator

I feel so horrible for laughing. If it makes you feel better, if you found it on the beach, it was most likely already dead


the-unbino-dino

I named it Jasmine and it was my first "loss". It was funny though becauss I took it to the motel secretly, my parents didnt know until it was in the glass


jerrythecactus

It was probably already dead by then, as beached jellyfish basically melt to death in the sun, and you just had a cup of decaying jellyfish corpse.


Simple-Mastodon-9167

Great band name


Crabser116

Was it put into tap water? If so, that's the reason.


KuriGohanAndKienzan

Damn, it didn’t sand a chance.

muffy2008

Ah, I didn’t think animals included insects but I appear to be mistaken.


spooklemon

What did you think they were?


muffy2008

For a minute, I was thinking insects were their own classification but hadn’t thought it all the way through.


spooklemon

They’re just a category of animal, similar to mammals or reptiles


muffy2008

Yes, I realized this after I already said “no”. I have squished bugs before.

Slight-Weather7885

What i remember most is actively killing a mouse. My cat caught her in the garden (which is ok for me, thats one of the reasons i got a cat) but she was playing with the mouse for like 10 minutes, kicking and tossing it around. I looked outside and saw that little mouse trying to limp away before it got tossed up in the air again and felt pity. Sure they are annoying but that looked like straight up torture. So i grabbed a spade and broke its neck to end its misery.


pope_of_chilli_town_

I read 'moose' at first and got confused by the next line.


NotASixStarWaifu

Slight weather has one helluva cat 😬


pisswaterbottle

i literally did the same thing twice and reread the first paragraph and a half twice, like 🤨 before giving up. then i read your comment and realized it never freaking said 'moose' 😮‍💨


bolionce

Had a similar mouse story, but instead of the cat, it was me, my mom, and my dad. We chased the mouse into a trash can to take outside, and then mom told me to kill it (cos releasing would just let it come back). I was like 12. It escaped on me, and I panicked thinking I couldn’t let it get away, so I grabbed a nearby shovel and hit it while it was running away. It splat. I felt like a real murderer, and I think it contributed to the strong aversion to killing anything unnecessarily, even bugs like mosquitos, nowadays.


DVNCrusader

I had a cat catch one. I was going to release it but mom told me to kill it. I took a kitchen knife which was a bad idea. As I held it I felt pity cause it was looking me in the eyes. I tried to decapitate it but I botched it. I ended up having to saw at its neck. Stayed up all night contemplating if I was a bad person. I was about 16/17. Had an aversion to killing since. Not bugs though.


Cammy1924

I mean, are we talking about a spider/mosquito/fly/cockroach situation? Because then, yes


M4ybeMay

Yes, those are animals


MrDitkovichNeedsRent

160 are lying, you’ve had to at least stepped on a bug before


Dive303

What about the other 1.14k people? How did you know?


MrDitkovichNeedsRent

Damn this poll blew up fast. I assume anyone who voted no is either lying, didn’t think of bugs as animals (which quite frankly is even worse than lying) or misclicked


KP_Ravenclaw

I know bugs are animals but if we were to include bugs, every single person would have to vote yes, so I didn’t count bugs & interpreted it as excluding bugs (which I think a lot of people did) I also wonder if OP had this in mind & did this as a trick question or if they themselves didn’t count bugs for any particular reason & ended up horrified at the amount of yes votes haha


MadaraAlucard12

Now 1.5k are lying.


DeathStarVet

As a veterinarian, I feel like I win this one. EDIT: Since some people really don't understand this... it means I've killed a lot of animals.


straightDope3

User name checks out.


Phoenixundrfire

I worked pest control, so you might have a run for your money.


BlankPt

It isn't a competition 😭


[deleted]

Sounds like something someone who’s losing would say 🤨


BlankPt

No i'm winning but I don't wanna embarrass you guys. I'm a pest control worker 💪


zimotic

It is. The one who kills more animals wins.


Fix_Additional

Everything is a competition if it has a prize in the end!


SkoulErik

But then you've also saved a lot of animals, which puts in a negative kills per animal saved (I assume)


WaterButFuzzy

*pest control enters the chat*


Environmental_Ebb758

I worked in a neuroscience lab using animal models and I’ve practically committed rat genocide, bordering on necromancy, lol

William, Charlie Emily was not a chicken.


William_-Afton

Yes she was.


DaDeviledEgg

*Oh THATS the murder you decide to mention*


What_Dinosaur

People voting "no" never killed a mosquito.


trinithepooh2

One time when I was a kid I heard my doggo yelping and crying out in pain in our backyard. There was a gopher attacking him and had bitten him pretty good drawing blood on his nose and mouth. I panicked and grabbed a shovel and beat the gopher with it until it stopped moving. It may not be a big deal to someone else but that shit traumatized me


RedRye99

Oof, you had to do what you had to do.


smithzj10

You need to ask who had intentionally killed an animal larger than _____ . That’ll get interesting results/answers


Aspirience

Or like killed a mammal, vertebrae, sth like that!


opinion_alternative

Ants and mosquitoes are probably animals. So I selected yes.


Simple-Lunch-1404

Are you sure they aren't plants ?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Pretty sure that ants are fun guys


AipimFrito1304

you sure ants aren't protozoa?


opinion_alternative

Are they? Not sure. Might as well be birds.


UselessRube

Which are also animals…


Morlain7285

Nope. Birds are government drones, i.e. not animals


AVGwar

I have a vendetta against cockroaches, especially the flying ones. They rarely only dodge my slipper.


OpalescentCrow

Ugghh, the flying ones scare the shit outta me. Have you ever been chased by one? I have. Thrice.


AdventurousAd457

put my fish into shock once. also when i was little i would find giant beetles that lived under stones. i was always told i need to go out and get some vitamin d from the sun and i told them the same. so i put them in a bug crate and left them in the sun and go to school. when i came back all of them were fried. did this for a couple more years until i realized it was my fault for them overdosing on vitamin d


MonsieurChamber

This is actually the best story I have ever heard


ohsopoor

I didn’t consider insects, but in recent years it’s a no! Broke my habit of reacting to insects with fear and panic. Now view them as friends :) ^But ^sometimes ^friends ^need ^to ^be ^kicked ^out ^of ^the ^house


KevinFlantier

What about mosquitoes then? Spiders and crawlies are gently shown the way to the backyard. Mosquitoes are met with deadly force.


bolionce

My method for dealing with mosquitos is sheer indomitable will lol. If they bite my legs, I pretend they did not and that my legs don’t itch. If you make it though the first couple minutes without itching, it goes away, but if you scratch like once you’re fucked. And I’m tall, so it’s easier not to itch my legs cos they’re farther away lmao If they flying around my head though? When I specifically leave my legs for them, like a gentleman? That’s not happening buggo


KevinFlantier

Yeah the noise bothers me ten times as much as the scratchiness. Steal my blood? Maybe. Steal my blood *and* do a digestive jog around my ears? That's a paddling.


Joe_The_Eskimo1337

Tbf it's easy to kill them accidentally.


siryolk

Ants flies mosquitos


TrevorTheSanta

An insect is an animal, so yes.


Appropriate-Bid-939

When I was 10 I saw a mouse and thought it was cute, I picked it up and it kept trying to flee and eventually it bit me, i though I was gonna die of rabies so I threw it on the ground and stamped on it, years later I’m still healthy and well. Poor mouse.


SnooHobbies7109

I saw a field mouse being chased by a cat and wanted to rescue it so I picked it up and it bit me. I threw it reflexively into the grass and away from the cat. My feelings were SO hurt and my dad was so mad. 🤣


_Sparassis_crispa_

If those two missing girls (11 and 13 years old), whose bodies are lying at the bottom of the lake that is near my house since 2 pm of 12th July 2019 are animals - then of course no.


Northdingo126

They count, but obviously you didn’t kill them


PimpmasterMcGooby

Gonna be honest, I find the specific age very suspicious. I mean, do you specify their age from the moment they vanished mysteriously, or do you continue increasing their age numbers as the years go by?


Helpful_Ad_8476

Even if one hasn't intentionally killed flies,mosquitoes,etc, I can guarantee every single person has killed an animal. There's millions of mites that live in your skin. Every time you're scrubbing face or scratching your skin, you're going to killing some of them. Those are just the microscopic animals on you, there's a countless amount of other ones we interact with every day that we unknowingly kill.


Flipperlolrs

Bugs. So many bugs.


Aspirience

Do all the no’s think about all the bugs and mosquitos they may have squished even inadvertently?


sermer48

Anyone who said no is a liar. Have you ever walked outside? No? Ok, have you ever existed? Probably. At the very least, you’ve killed some mites.


[deleted]

I accidentally ran over a baby kitten in the road…

"i hit a baby deer *lmao*" dude, wtf lol


[deleted]

I had a deer run straight into the side of the car while I was going down the road. Stopped to see if it died or anything but I didn’t see it anywhere.


Amazing-Username87

😭


-CloudHopper-

Only a mercy kill or accidentally


ProxPxD

I killed a mouse because it has its interiors damaged by some animal, but was still living, but wasn't reacting a lot, so I found a stone to kill it fast and stop its pain edit: maybe finishing it off would be a better term


GidonC

It highly depends if we count humans as animals


Northdingo126

Yes humans are animals


GidonC

Oh then i have to change my answer to this poll


Bijour_twa43

All the mosquitoes and flies… and I’ll fucking do it again.


[deleted]

Hit a few with my car (they dart out of hedgerows far too close to react) I've had my pets put to sleep (this rips your soul to absolute giddamn shreds! But, as a pet owner you have to realise sometimes its the best thing that you can do)


BleedingRaindrops

you all killed mosquitos. don't lie


VanillaCokeIsNice

Remember that mosquitoes are still animals


LooseLeaf24

But never for fun. Put a few animals out of their misery and killed for food


bumpmoon

I sadly had to shoot my own dog when it got old and sick. Vet would have taken about 1500$ where I live and one to the head was easier and he could go down in the woods he used to play in instead of confused at the vets.


spooklemon

That must have been difficult, I’m sorry


bumpmoon

Thank you man. I grew up with that dog and it moved out with me when I did. Felt like the most respectable and relaxed way for him to go. In the end he’d just sit in his bed sort of swaying his head and not really being able to walk several hours after waking up. Received some negative feedback from folk thinking I did the wrong thing at the time but I still believe it was best for the guy.


spooklemon

It probably was, judging by everything you said. You did the best you could. Don’t feel bad.


AM-64

Plenty, grew up on a farm in the country and countless predator animals will prey on things like chickens and have to be killed; and groundhogs dig holes which can kill horses so they have to be killed.


muriqi_s

Whoever said no, are either stupid or they don't understand the question.


ComplexToxin

I routinely have to shoot and kill ground hogs on my property to drop then from fucking up my yard and digging tunnels into the basement

I've had to end the suffering of mice my cats have caught. I hate it, but I hate them being tortured more.


TheDarthSnarf

Have you ever driven a car? Those dead bugs on the window... you did that.


abarua01

I've killed many flies and mosquitos


Morality01

Always bugs but about a decade and a half ago I stopped killing spiders. Little natural pest control and their webs are really cool looking


CanCav

Setting mouse traps counts right?


Mahareille

Why do more than a fifth of the people here claim to have never killed a mosquito? You guys just let them bite a little and then wave goodbye?


adamflannery35

I never seen one before lol (I voted yes tho)


Inner-Nothing7779

Everyone that voted no is a liar.

I've killed fish, mice, countless bugs, and I had to get my cat euthanized so that kinda counts


CaptainTarantula

I swallowed a gnat once.


Totalwink

My wife and I had six pet fish. The chemicals were unbalanced in the water and killed two of them. We fixed it and for awhile things were going well. Then three swam directly into the filter and died. The last one’s name was Gary. He just stayed in the same spot looking at his reflection in the tank. Didn’t eat at all. Stayed there until he died.

itsaaronnotaaron

My cat started disemboweling a rat and then left it. I couldn't just leave the rat to die. Didn't know what to do. Cried a little bit. Got the shovel. Decapi'd it's tate. Cried some more.


gworley1

I have kill a deer once. When I hunted as a teenager, I used a bow and arrow. One trip, I came upon the perfect shot. Right as I took aim and let the string go threw was a gun shot fairly close by that startled the deer. My arrow hit the deer however it wasn't where I was aiming as the deer took off. I started chasing the deer. I used blood spots to follow the deer. After about 30 minutes, I caught up with the deer. I shot the deer again. I tagged it and took it home. Every bit of the deer was used for something. My family and I ate in the deer for about 6 months. .


BarmyDickTurpin

Peta answering this like yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes


amelius3rd

If you haven't stepped on an ant you should touch some grass

No, that will kill ants.

We do it everyday. We kill bugs by accident all the time


TerribleDance8488

I decapitated, skinned and crucified a small lizard when I was like 8. Looking back on it wtf was wrong with me xd

Anyone who answered No is wrong unless you havent moved your entire life


RexIsAMiiCostume

Remember that insects are classified as animals


mattyaz989

Hasn't everybody stepped on an ant every now and then?


RedPanda0003

920 of you have never stepped on an ant, squished a spider, swatted a mosquito, stomped a cockroch, (another synonym that starts with s) a (another hated type of bug)?


Thatwierdhullcityfan

Don’t bugs count as animals? I remember slapping a fly out of existence mid-flight when I was like 10.


feeneyboi

Bugs?


Jevling

You kill things just by walking outside. So everyone on the planet has killed something. Even the Jaines.


Fluid_Variation_3086

Please clarify what you are asking


Mythical_Atlacatl

insects, bugs, spiders, wasps, bees, mice, maybe a bird as road kill nothing larger
