>>21814065You know when I was a kid I used to go hunting with my dad but then the problem was sometimes shooting things didnt kill it. My dad wanted to teach me the fundamentals of life and how killing something isn't about it dying but about you taking responsibility so he had me take one of the dying birds and basically grip its head and swing it in circles. Of course as a child I didn't fucking really understand.
It really hit home when we had to kill the bred pigeons though because the guy taught me that you could stop a bird's heart by squeezing on the ribcage and i did that and you could feel the bird shaking and the heartbeat would get progressively less hard until it stopped and I think that's my least favourite way to kill something.
that same day my dad had to shoot a bird but it was flying right overhead and unfortunately he blew it into kind of little mangled pieces and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen I mean in retrospect it wasn't funny but I also sat beside a bucket of congealing blood and had lunch so I mean, it was kind of funny.
I had a really good childhood
