You deserve that. Don't shoot at bunnies just because YOU were inconvenienced.

749- true dat.
525- HAHHAHAHAHHA

That's horrible.. but
YDI for attempting to kill an innocent hungry animal.
That's one smart bunny... I hate to say it, but you kinda deserved that one. You could have put a fence up around your garden instead of trying to kill it.
Boohoo, your garden was ruined. The rabbit was hungry. It deserves to live!
YDI for trying to kill an innocent animal!
Not only did you try to kill it instead of just relocating it, but you tried to justify your shit aim with 'the bullet missed' instead of 'I missed'.
This one calls for a YDI unfortunately.

i loved the phrasing as well. i was going to comment but you beat me to it
You deserve it. There are so many more better ways to get rid of a rabbit.
This comment has been moderated.
Sounds like a Tom & Jerry episode.
haha you deserved that. im glad you're pool is destroyed.
wow you're messed up
1. for shooting an animal
2. for going on here to get some sympathy
Poor bunny aside, what made you think that was a good idea? Please take a minute to think it through next time you go to shoot at something.
I immediately thought of Elmer Fudd when I read this...
HAHA, sounds like something you'd see a cartoon.
Get a small fence for your garden. Is it really that hard? YDI
Exactly what I was gonna say #1
Hahaha at #15
You deserve the pool thing for trying to kill it!
YDI for being stupid enough to shoot at a rabbit near your pool... #14 comment had me dying with laughter...
YDI for being an ass.
there were other things you could have done.
Say, doc, are you trying to get yourself in trouble with the law? This ain't wabbit huntin' season.
Quick score update:
Bunny: 1
Jerrrr: 0

This is not the worst thing that could have been, rabbits are devious, don't mess with them, they will screw your karma like there is no tomorrow.
You totally deserved it, you sick bastard! You should be in prison. People like you disgust me.
That's what you get for trying to kill an animal, piece of shit. YDI.
i am so glad that you destroyed your pool you attempted animal murdering freak!!! XD
I have to agree with everyone. you deserved it for being a peice of shit person and trying to kill an animal that was just trying to survive.

redneck
#28 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:42am by shankzilla
Wow, you are a failure on so many levels.
#29 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:47am by null
That's what you get, you hick. Don't shoot at bunnies.
You deserved it. But on the plus side you just made my day! I have a satisfied smile knowing your pool is ruined and your home is water damaged. Build a fence around your garden.
totallyy agree with you :)
You shouldn't shoot at little defenseless' animals.. You deserved that for being such a jerk.. Your life is fucked because you don't know how to respect.
....So uh. You guys wouldn't put out a mousetrap for pests in your home? Dealing with critters eating from your garden is the same thing. Fences don't do shit for rabbits, and their population can explode when allowed to take advantage of an unnatural food source like someone's garden.
Still pretty stupid to shoot in the direction of your pool though. YDI.
Dangerous, stupid and just mean.
15,000 gallons of water eh? really? that's quite the pool you've got there...
correction #36 had there...
Goooosh! I don't understand you guys! It's just a rabbit! It's not he tried to shoot a man!
But shooting near your pool, that was really stupid!
yep, you deserved it. WE are encroaching on THEIR land not the other way around. Learn to live with nature or buy your vegetables at the store.
your quest for a lucky rabbit's foot continues
Hahahaha serves you right!
How did this get through?
Well YDI. It's called the food chain. The thing was just trying to survive. And please, next time, try to remain consistent between past tense and present tense. Awesome.
YDI. Not so much for trying to shoot the rabbit but for missing and not having the commonsense to think about the pool in your line of site. Number 34 is right fences don’t work. If you want to stop rabbits get a dog.... even a small one will scare the rabbits away.
Watch out for all the hippies that are gonna comment crying about how you shot an animal. Oh wait, they're already here.
#47 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:10am by deathproof
that's what you get for being a heartless bastard who kills bunnies >.>
YDI, redneck. There are better ways to get rid of animals that are a lot less dangerous.
You're so dick. It's not like the rabbit new it was fucking up your pretty little garden... It's a fucking rabbit! We don't shoot at little kids when they mess something we worked on up.
You deserved it... And I probably had better aim than you when I was four. You shouldn't have a gun if you're going to use it to just shoot things that piss you off.
lol #21!!!
OP: Ahah! You suck!
I find it funny how so many people are talking shit about you just because you tried to shoot a rabbit. I see nothing wrong with it if you look it out of it's misery quickly. Before you judge this person for shooting the rabbit, what do you people do with other pests such as cockroaches, rats, ants, ect.? Do you go out of your way to catch a cockroach and release it back to the wild? Do you catch rats and put them outside? Face it, what most of you are saying is completely hypocritical and shows a double standard. Roaches, rats, ants, termites, spiders, parasites, all of them are doing the same as that rabbit and just trying to survive.
Now to the op. You deserve this. Not for shooting the rabbit, I would've done the same. (I'm not hick. I'm a Mexican-American female living in a large city, and I haven't lived in the countryside since I was 7.) You deserve this because your dumbass decided to shoot it while it was next to your pool. You should've waited.
You should be shot as far as I'm concerned.
You wanted to kill a rabbit because it ate a fucking plant? Its hungry, and if food is there, it will eat it, arsehole.
I almost never say ydi, but you do.
Also 53, rabbits aren't vermin, they're pets. People have them as PETS.
So assuming its alright to shoot a rabbit, is it okay to shoot a cat, or a dog?
First off, #47, you need to shut the f*** up, not being an ignorant ass doesn't make you a hippie. As for the person who posted this, I find it delightful that this happened to you. Revenge on rabbit?! WTF. I highly doubt the little guy did this to mess up your life. Animals eat gardens, face it.
Invest in a greenhouse and a psychiatric evaluation.
the second I read "pulled out my .22 rifle" I hit YDI.
aha.
karma FTW.
You suck. I can't believe you would shoot an animal because it ATE!
If this person were shooting it to kill it and eat- fine. At least they would be using it for something useful, but they were shooting the rabbit for REVENGE, which makes them a total waste of a human being.
You totally deserved it.
#60 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:32am by aho
what part of next to my brand new pool did you not get.. YDI...
YDI for the sheer stupidity of shooting around the pool, not to mention that poor rabbit. Learn to live with animals, and don't buy plants you aren't willing to share.
Respect for having the .22 rifle, but no chance anyone would be stupid enough to aim for a target so close to an above-ground pool.
Shame though, .22s are perfect for Rabbits!
Dude, I totally understand. Even if you ignore the fact that it was messing up your garden, they still taste delicious ;)
#65 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:54am by newguy90
haha you know what? I wasn't that mad at you for shooting that bunny...Some people have a different lifestyle, and I'm not gonna judge you. But if you have a FIFTEEN THOUSAND GALLON POOL, I'm going to judge you. You could've easily taken some stacks of cash that you have lying around (since you bought that big-ass pool), and used them to buy some fencing.
#66 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:55am by Yulia
You have no idea how acutely depressing it is to realize we're from the same species.
you fucking asshole! like, OMFG! an animal was eating from something that was out in the open and not fenced off, i think i'm going to shoot it and kill an INNOCENT animal for something that i could have PREVENTED! if anything, fuck the bunny's life you douchebag, karma's a bitch isn't it! i'm sad that it was only your basement that got flooded and not your livingroom or something, unless you had valuables that got damaged, then i'd be happy...
asshole... >:(
i agree with too many people on this one to note their number, but i hope you burn in hell for being to shallow and inconsiderate. i hope that pool was like $2,000 to install too!
Bet you would try to shoot someone in a plane aswell while its in the air. YDI moron for multiple reasons.
._. You people are idiots. If a population is allowed to grow off of an unnatural food source, what do you think happens when said unnatural food source isn't around anymore? Yeah, this might be a bitty little backdoor garden, but some of you people act as if you'd apply the same reasoning to a farm. Those plants wouldn't survive there naturally! Human intervention keeps them alive. For human use. Yes, many animals were here before us, but they sure as hell weren't depending on eating the crops we put there.
Rodents and lagomorphs that experience unsustainable population explosions often caused by feasting on fleeting, unnatural food sources very quickly go from innocent animals to a huge number of innocent, SLOWLY STARVING TO DEATH animals. Yeeah, you guys are the merciful ones.
Hahahha number 56: you are retarded. That is EXACTLY the double standard that they were talking about. Just because an animal is cute and can be a pet you have to treat it differently? Most insects around you are just trying to eat or find warmth and shelter and I guarantee you guys kill them, how is this any different?
I take it most of you have never had a garden...
Also, most of you calling him ignorant are more ignorant yourselves for doing so, especially the ones calling the op a hick/redneck, for judging someone the way you are.
As for the OP: well fyl for all the ignorant and dumb comments here and for the pool, but you deserve it for shooting a .22 near your pool.
YDI for using a gun, and for attempted animal slaughter.
If you wanted to kill it why not just slit its throat?
Why the fuck did you try and shoot a bunny?
It needs to EAT. Give it other food if it bothers you, moron.
Put a fence around the garden.
String some tin cans up to make noise to scare the bunny away.
And for God's sake lose the gun if you are that bad of a shot. You're lucky you shot the pool and not your neighbor.
You got what you deserve for breaking the law. Even if it was rabbit season, you're not allowed to discharge a firearm that close to houses.
I hope you have a spouse and s/he smacked you upside of the head.
I say you would have deserved to have the gun backfire in your face.
I hope you also get a toxic mold colony from the water damage.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention: I wish the bunny could have laughed at your dumb ass. That would have made this perfect.
As for those that say fences don't work? You obviously don't know the right kind of fence to use. Chicken wire fencing will keep rabbits out of your garden. Picket fences will not. Duh.
wow. you all swear like the rabbit has feelings or something. im so sick of hippies.
and even though i think YDI, Id never say I'm glad your pool was ruined and your basement flooded. heartless bastards....
Hah, you deserve it for being stupid enough to risk hitting a pool with a .22 rifle. That and attempted animal abuse. I mean seriously? Put up better preventive measures around your plants next time.
YDI for being a crappy shot, seriously if you are that bad with a gun just put out a small bowl of antifreeze near your garden. Most animals will drink that like it's candy and problem solved.
thats what you get for shooting bunnies.
You couldn't have simply moved it somewhere else? Way to make things more difficult for yourself.
And for those of you who say the rabbit doesn't have feelings, why does "getting revenge" on it make any more sense? It doesn't have feelings so why would it maliciously destroy this douchebag's yard?
#34.... someones garden isn't a natural food source? Rabbits over populate quickly? You have any idea how many Humans there are on this planet? I think it's safe to say we out number them by far. So what if you're inconvienced?
Fences DO work if you're not completely stupid and put it up wrong. Yes it is hypocritical to say "leave the poor bunny alone" and then you go and put up a mouse trap in your house. I personally catch spiders and put them outside. Just because you are bigger then something doesn't mean your life is more important.
OP: You got what you deserved. Not just for trying to shoot the Rabbit, but for being stupid enough to not stop and think... hey.... maybe I shouldn't shoot it so close to the pool.
#84 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:45am by Les
serves you right. Could have put a fence up or something, but noooo, you have to kill the rabbit that was just using survival instincts.
errrmmmmm YDI!
Yeh when you read stories like this it's kinda hard to see why Americans are so obsessed with 'the right to bear arms'.
YDI douchebag, it's your gun and your fault.
#87 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:51am by nobodyno
would you people put a sock in it ? stop crapping about how the bunny is an innocent hungry animal. it's a pest and it has to be dealt with... only problem is that it's a job for people who can actually handle a gun... really now, you're lucky the bullet didn't rebound in something more important like...a person
To those saying the OP shouldn't have shot the rabbit. Really? Should the OP have let the rabbit steal all his food and starved to death himself.
To those saying a fence will stop rabbits. No. Rabbits can burrow under pretty much any fence.
To the OP, you did kind of screw up. You were right to try to kill that pest but everyone knows that the best way to kill a rabbit is not with a 22 rifle but a shotgun loaded with #6.
#89 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:55am by EMR
He was hunting wabbits
Classic elmer fudd style
you totally deserved that. seriously? WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT THAT BUNNY just because it messed up your garden. ANIMAL ABUSE
You were going to kill something over your useless garden, and now you ruined your own home. You did more damage than a "pest" ever could. Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
#92 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:01am by nobodyno
all you mother fucking assholes saying he deserves it for shooting at an "innocent" animal, just shut the fuck up. its just a damn rabbit, not like losing 1 will cause the rest of them to go extinct, and those calling ANIMAL ABUSE... wow... learn what the term means; its for abusing an animal that is under your care, aka NOT A WILD ANIMAL.
yes the OP deserved the basement flood/ruined pool for trying to jump straight to using a gun instead of putting up a fence. and by saying "the bullet missed"; i mean c'mon dude YOU were aiming, its YOUR fault that YOU couldn't put the bullet where you wanted it.
and #89... a fence is better at keeping rabbits out than you think, they're more likely to move to an easier place to get food than to bother with the trouble of digging under one; especially if you put it a few inches in the ground
Serves you right, and #53, you are correct, some people don't. But SOME people do. Why would you want to kill any animal is beyond me. How could you contemplate the fact that you were about to kill an innocent animal!?
Trying to shoot a rabbit isn't the essential problem here. Being a gun-happy American (I presume) who runs for his gun to solve any problem is.
Do more to keep the rabbit out of your garden in the first place, or if it's that much of a nuisance set a trap for it.
All of you who are complaining about shooting the animal; how many of you eat meat?
#97 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:11am by musu
hahaha! you got outsmarted by a animal with a brain the size of walnut! you must truly feel shit XD
You're disgusting. I hope someone shoots at you for doing something you're supposed to do.
I don't know why everyone's rippin on this dude for shooting a bunny, its a F*ing animal for christs sake, its low the food chain for a reason ......
anyways, that sucks dude, next time use something smaller like an airsoft gun to get rid of your bunny problems
#89 Oh yeah, I'm sure that if the rabbit filled it's tiny stomach a few times using his garden, he would have starved to death, because it would be so hard to go up the road and get a cheeseburger. Dumb asshole.
Wtf is it with you people calling animal abuse?!? You don't knw the OP's circumstances, if it was where I am, the bunny would be caught and eaten, lol rabbit meat tastes good actually =P though, granted, the OP deserved it, lol, could have used an air-rifle or numerous traps, yea?
#104 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:32am by Jigga_PaNG
What an asshole. You don't like the rabbits? Buy a fence. Buy deterrents. Probably cheaper than replacing your pool, too. YDI.
So when rabbits overpopulate and start eating farm foods, and HUMANS start starving to death, I guess all you people will be saying the same thing, OMG Don't kill it its an innocent animal!!!
What part of eating my garden makes a rabbit Inncoent?
To 102 "go up the road and get a cheeseburger."
So you want him spare the rabbits life? And you want him to spare the rabbit by getting a burger?You do realize that for him to get a cheeseburger he would have to kill a cow instead of a rabbit?
#107 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:38am by EMR
YDI! Guess who was eating your garden plants while you were cleaning out your basement? And I'm sure it had a huge smile. Bwahahahaa
#72 ftw, thats population theory right there from Malthus, xD
#109 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:41am by Jigga_PaNG
Are you crazy, shooting like that randomly???? YDI!!! And poor rabbit, I hope it comes back and eats your plants again!
It seems to me that your little rabbit has a higher I.Q. than you! How could you try to shoot a cute little bunny for eating your garden. HELLO? Do farmer's shoot you every time you have a salad! NO, get over yourself, jerk, humans are hardly superior to other organisms in any way. Obviously, most organisms are already superior to you.
Are you retarded?
I'm nominating you for the "Stupidest Retard of 2009".
Congratulations!
ARE U TRYING TO GAIN SYMPATHY?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU DONT SHOOT A RABBIT. IT'S BAD LUCK THE FRICKEN BULLET DIDN'T HIT U JERK. I HOPE UR HOUSE FLOODS AND THE RABBIT CHEWS U UP.
#97 you beat me to it!
"Aww bunnies are cuuuutteee!" STFU! It was a wild animal and a complete pest, get rid of it if it's wrecking your property. I wouldn't necessarily have shot at it, but that's the OP's choice! How many of you would be ok with killing it if it had a disease?
And to the moron who said bunnies were pets - some are, most aren't, just like some pigs are also pets but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a delicious set of ribs once in a while.
Bunch of hypocritical prisses getting your panties in a bunch over an "innocent" animal. You know, they're all innocent - they don't go home and plot your demise and plan to shoot your family.
OP: You are an idiot for doing it in front of the pool.
#114 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:49am by Cunes
#92 "useless garden"
My "useless garden"? How do you know it's useless? My garden provides nearly a third of my food so I do not consider it useless.I consider it necessary for my survival.
OP I hope you fried that little a$$hole rabit up and i tasted good
#115 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:52am by EMR
You deserve that for trying to hurt a living thing.
you know how many rabbits and other small (who the hell says they're cute?) are killed harvesting plants for vegetarian food?
i bet most of the people here are vegetarians who don't care what dies as long as they're not eating meat, because they're too lazy to grow their own food.
or they're meat eaters who only care because the OP used a gun or the rabbit was cute (again how do you know?)
#95 farming is much more common in places like canada and asia, which have a variety of gun control laws but most areas allow them, way to presume illogically.
It sucks that your pool and basement are ruined, but I think there are MANY more ways to keep an animal out of your garden.
That is horrible!
You totally deserved that one. :D
This comment has been moderated.
you're an idiot. animals need food. wtf is wrong with you?
#118: I'm a vegetarian, but I wear leather protective gear on my motorcycle, have a leather sofa, etc. My vegetarianism is a reduction in my impact on animals, rather than a complete stop; in the same way that I ride a motorcycle that does 65mpg to reduce my impact on fossil-fuel use, rather than driving no vehicle at all.
If I set up a farm and put work and effort into growing crops for my consumption, or my species' consumption, then I'm perfectly justified in considering it my territory by virtue of the effort involved. Wild animals are free to decide their own fate, and don't have to be in my territory, consuming the fruits of my labour; their getting killed is no different from a predator getting killed when entering a rival predator's hunting territory.
Captive animals (cattle), however, don't have this choice. Therefore I choose the regretable killing of wild animals that choose to tresspass and steal over the systematic slaughter of captive slaves wherever it is possible for me to do so without dramatically harming my standard of living.

That sucks man. For the PETA assholes, shut up, nobody cares. Animals have rights to good seasoning and butter. But you kinda deserve it for not actually blasting him away.
im glad this happened to you... YDI!!!!

#127 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:21am by sun_worshiper
I also wonder how many of you put salt or pellets down to kill slugs in your garden, or pour boiling water or poison into ant nests under your house, or call an exterminator when you get roaches, or swat a fly that's buzzing around your food.
If any of you do, stop criticising the OP just because the pest he tried to kill is cute and fluffy and the pests you kill are not. They're all equally unwanted animals on your property.
Your obviously not a very good shot. Try the shotgun next time. :D
And to all of you who are pissed about him trying to kill int, STFU unless you eat no meat whatsoever.
#53 is my hero.
O: Damn man, your aim sucks.
lol@people.
We've all done the same thing, we've killed a lot of "innocent" animals in our time.
Sure, might not have been a rabbit, but its all the same.
Freaking hypocrisy.
Hahaha! I'm so happy that happened to you!
What the hell?! Just put a net or something over the vegie garden, jeez, don't need to go shooting animals over it...wtf is wrong with people?
#130, here in Australia we don't go around shooting animals :) nice country, don't come near it ^_^
#132: I'm sure you still kill plenty of animals, though. What difference does it make between shooting an animal or crushing it to death with your swatting palm?
you fail for many reasons. shooting near a pool is one. not puttting a fence up is two. shooting at a random bunny... how do you know thats the rabbit that even ate from your garden? and oh, btw, yeah, we're all "bitching" about this rabbit and you people are asking how much of us eat meat, but the meat that we eat is birthed and raised to be made into food. this bunny is a part of nature. and your not even supposed to shoot near houses, are you? just put up a fence, stuff it a couple inches under ground, and the bunnies will mysteriously stop eating your garden. although after fixing your pool and unflooding your basement, i'm sure the cute little bunny isn't on the top of your list anymore to "take care of." bet you wish the garden eating bunny was the biggest of your problems, but because you tried "taking care" of your problem with violence, you lose and messed up your new pool just in time for summer. YDI all around, asshole.
YDI for being a bad shot...
#124 not all vegetarians care like you because many just want to feel important, but leather does come from captive animals, so do non-murderous things like milk, cheese and eggs.
Thats what you get for trying to kill a helpless bunny trying to get a meal
asshole. I wish the bullet bounced off something and hit you!
Why are people commenting this saying it's okay because we kill mice and rats etc etc... I wouldn't kill a mouse or a rat, or a spider or anything, so stop assuming that everyone who comments this would...
YDI you prat, for shooting near a pool, being a retard and not being able to aim properly and for trying to kill a rabbit.
#138 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:49am by rmm
Why were you shooting at the rabbit when they are out of season?
LOL aim fail and rabbit win! PS did you manage to drown the rabbit at least?
WOW! YDI big time... you could have at least used a bb gun or waited until it was away from the pool... but look at the bright side, now you can swim in your basement! Numbnuts.
#134 pretty much covered it
LOL @ 21
i do feel bad for the bunny and all, but mostly YDI for shooting right by your pool. wtf did you think was gonna happen? you're an idiot.
Never mind rabbits dude. Reload and we can hook up and waste some morons?
PS: I've got some .38 "snake-shot" that will bugger-the-bunny, but bounce off almost anything else.
#146 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:05am by HowlingMadDog
OMG. #111, you are a cunt. What farmer would shoot me for eating a salad? As an upstanding citizen, would he shoot me for buying his produce?!? If I was stealing though, by all means, shoot me, I mean, I WOULD be TRESPASSING which is what the rabbit did...
#147 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:07am by Jigga_PaNG
YDI, honestly.
Poor rabbit... good thing you didn't hit it.
Put up a fence or something.
I agree that killing a rabbit just because it has been at your garden is wrong unless you are going to use that rabbit as food or unless that garden is your main source of food and you'll starve without the few plants the rabbits been at.
and #132 Have you ever been out of a city? Animals, especially rabbits, are killed all the time in Australia. Here rabbits are a major introduced pest who ruin the land so native plants and animals can't survive, as well as spreading disease among native animals.
#149 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:11am by lonely_kat
you're such an asshole.
what if i decided to shoot you in a grocery store cause you were eating my food supply? >:|
I'm with #147.
I just love the empathy from so many of you "animal lovers". Get over it. I bet most of you don't take such an issue with senseless murders. Your main concerns are with the "cute and cuddly". Boo-frickin-hoo. We're all animals, and humans happen to be at the top of the chain.
Oh, and I don't see what the big deal is with caring about a rabbit, anyway. They multiply like, well, rabbits.
Wow, never heard of a fence?
This is what you get for trying to kill animals lol
& hahaha @ #2 ia with u.
Hahaha! YDI for shooting at poor little bunnies.
I love rabbits. I've had oodles of them as pets. So I never get upset when wild ones chew at my garden. And besides, there are other ways to keep them away from plants. My mom puts little fences and then puts human hair from hairbrushes around the fence. Wild rabbits stay away from the scent of humans. I think it was a total overreaction for you to shoot at it. Not to mention the fact that it was totally moronic to shoot with a rifle in the direction of your pool. Recipe for disaster. You totally deserve it. >:[
Should've gotten a dog. A dog would've fucked that rabbit up or at the very least scared it away from your garden.
What the hell is wrong with you people? If an animal is destroying your garden, you shoot the fucker! Although, this person's life IS fucked for being dumb enough to not wait for the rabbit to move AWAY from the pool.
#149 you right blasting away at the #132 idiot. As far as I know Australia in the only country that deliberately introduced a disease (Myxomatosis) that kills rabbits, in an attempt to wipe them out? Didn't work - little fvckers breed too fast.
#132 - it's hilarious that an Aussie came out in favour of the rabbit. HAHAHAHA Epic fail?
#158 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:28am by HowlingMadDog
I loveeee how everyones like "OMG DONT KILL THE ANIMAL YOU SICK BASTARD".
Did it not occur to you to wait till it moved AWAY from your pool?
You're a stupid fuck and deserved it big time. Maybe you should come up with a rational solution to your problems next time because today a rabbit ticked you off, tomorrow it could be a human being and you could end up in jail. Come to think of it, that's where a wack job like you belongs.
YDI. Next time, make a fence! That keeps our bunnies out of our gardens! Fences for bunnies, soap for deer, and plant a wall of onions for groundhogs (they tend to hate them, roots and all).
You shouldn't kill ANY animals. Bugs, insects, mammals, birds, whatEVER, you shouldn't kill them.
Then again there are way too many insects in the world....
YDI. Stupid fuck. Something is seriously wrong with you.
dies YDI meen u deserve it and my parents have the same prob so we got a german shepard we almost never see tht bunny out again
Next time do us all a favor and shoot yourself in the face.
And...Why does everyone assume he is an American? Could be a South African! We are just as well armed, and just as prone to blasting away without thinking!
Back to the Aussie #132 - how's your government going with it's project to pay people to shoot cane-toads going? Last I heard they were paying people to hunt them with flashlights?
#165 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:40am by HowlingMadDog
Bugs Bunny strikes again!
But seriously, your aim sucks.
#136: Of course I know that leather, eggs, dairy, etc come from captive animals. I tried to make very clear that I cut down on my use of animals wherever possible to do so without harming my standard of living to an unacceptable degree.
The only eggs I eat come from a local free-range farm, I don't drink much milk other than what goes in my tea, all my leathers are second-hand and have lasted years, and will last many, many more. I eat a lot of cheese (a main source of my protein), and I'm aware that male cows are slaughtered as a side-effect of the dairy industry, but hopefully it's far fewer than would be killed if I were eating them directly. My only unjustifiable luxury is a leather sofa.
Apart from that sofa, I try to only have an animal killed for my benefit when necessary, and will actively seek non-animal alternatives where possible. I'm not making a huge sacrifice (for example, I could give up cheese and stick to pulses if I was really committed), but the fact that I'm able to do it with barely any impact on my lifestyle goes to show that it's easy enough for most anyone to do it.
But that's me. I only have a small garden, and that's paved and gravelled. But had I spent countless hours of labour and a large amount of money on a living garden, only to watch it get repeatedly ravaged by wild animals who, at least around here, have plenty of other wild-growing food sources to choose from, then I might well be of the same mind as the OP.

I garden too, except I have a cool hand and a steady shot. I have no problem with animals at my garden because i keep a loaded pellet gun with a scope on it. The animals dart off when I start to open my window now.
You deserved it. Maybe you should have used your brain and went out to the store and bought some chicken wire and made a fence around your garden. That would have kept the rabbit out for good and you wouldn't have had to worry about killing it or ruining your pool. But since you tried to kill the rabbit when it was just trying to eat you deserved it 110%. I'm glad your basement got flooded
That's actually just funny. I don't hate you for trying to kill it and I don't think you're an idiot. It's just hilarious. :P
you deserve u idiot. don't shoot rabbits u animal abuser!!! im happpy ur pool flooded
I feel bad...for the bunny!! Poor things probably tramatized Elmer Fudd!
The pool flooding your basement..is karma at its best.
you're a horrible person. so horrible that karma didn't even wait to bite you in the ass. :)
Hate to say fake, but a .22 is a very, very small bullet. A pool which holds 15k gallons is pretty big, that bullet (once it gets into the pool) is going to break apart, so there is only one hole.
The pool isn't going to rip apart from a tiny hole - unless you let it sit like that for weeks, you're making something up.
I can't believe all you people feel sorry for the rabbit, rabbits are rodents just like rats! I bet if it was a rat you wouldn't care in the least. Rabbits are a pain in the ass when it comes to growing veg etc and they'll get through practically any fence. You're all acting like townies going 'awww its so cute you deserve it for shooting it' but you'd happily exterminate roaches or rats wouldn't you?
I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't deserve that for shooting at a rabbit. They didn't even kill it and so what if they did? Geez, there are a lot of hypocritical people on here...
But OP, you deserve it for shooting at it while it was next to your pool. Really? You're that retarded?
You're not an idiot for trying to kill the rabbit, but you're kind of an idiot for not thinking about your pool. If you want to kill a rabbit just use a crab net and a hatchet. That way you can eat them afterward, since they're less exploded.
Wow, not a lot of NRA members here. Well, I'm one, and I'm here to say: You deserve it.
Killing pests is acceptable. Being a mediocre shot is not a crime.
But when it is not a case of immediate danger, not CAREFULLY considering where your bullet will go if you miss if really f*cking stupid. You are an ass who should not own a gun. Every gun owner needs to practice good discipline and control of (1) where the barrel is point and (2) when he pulls the trigger (and not touch the trigger except to pull it immediately).
Also, for missing a rabbit with a rifle, you are a bit of a p*ssy.
Wow you're really stupid, eh? Stupid people shouldn't own guns. They should have an IQ test that goes along with the registration of a gun. Stupid people should only get squirt guns. You could have filled your pool AND scared the rabbit! HaHa YDI!!
Your an annoyance, Lets just shoot you.
=D
Poor bunny. He did not know that it was a garden, he was just hungry.
I hope the damages cost you a lot of money!
(Damn rednecks.)
why would you try to kill it? ok, you kill that ONE bunny. but guess what.. there are HUNDREDS more living around you that will come to eat your stupid garden. why don't you put up a fence?
i swear people don't think before they do stupid shit. you deserved that one. stop killing bunnies.
#187 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:21am by tarale9
YOU FUCKING DESERVE IT.
#189 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:22am by betwixt
I call fake on this one, no one could be this stupid. A slightly less retarded approach could have been...oh I don't know, poison? A trap? Who the hell pulls out a gun on a rabbit in a non-hunting area? There needs to be a 4th option (3rd being "who the hell cares?") for "You deserve it so hard my ears are bleeding."
YDI for trying to kill a bunny that wuz only hungry-me t time protect ur garden better.
#177 - That was my first thought as well. But, under sufficent water pressure the hole could tear quite fast. Especially off a ricochet?
#192 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:24am by HowlingMadDog
You do realize that it would be much more efficient to just put up a fence? Then you don't have dead bunny or any other rabbits that might feel like a snack to deal with... or serious water damage and a broken pool.
A little time at the shooting range probably wouldn't hurt either.
I totally understand, unfortunately most people wouldn't so I'm not sure posting it online was the best idea. Everyones like "Oh no! Save the cute little bunny eating all your veggies! I bet you were even using fertilizer you bastard! Go organic! Don't eat meat! It's not like we NEED heme iron and animal protein in our diets! If we try hard enough maybe we'll end up with the extra intestines we need to process only plant material..." So they probably won't be sympathetic to your pest control methods.
Oh, please!! Killing a rabbit is no big deal. Animals catch rabbits and eat them alive every day. You think rabbits normally die of old age? Jeez.
Yet, YDI for shooting near your pool. Good thing a child wasn't standing near by, since you obviously lack the ability to think ahead.
YDI, because its easy to rabbit proof gardens and such, and theres no real way for you to know that this was the rabbit that was eating from your garden in the first place (unless it was eating out of it as you were Elmer Fudd-ing it around the yard?)
Also to those questioning whether or not we kill rats/mice, there are such things as humanitarian traps that you can get to capture animals that are being pests that DONT kill them, and you can just relocate them. Theres no reason for this person to go off and try and kill the wabbit when he simply could have just relocated the animal.
And thats what you get you cruel person...I hope you had a hard time getting the water out of your basement.
git 'er done! That's some redneck shit right there!
YDI, its a rabbit what do you expect it to do ?
I'm sure the rabbit had it coming, but seriously, lets think gun safety here. Always know your target and what is beyond. Don't go shooting at something if there is something nearby that doesn't react well to bullets. Next time you use a .22 to solve a vermin problem, make sure its a clear shot.
Also most jurisdictions have a law against discharging firearms in a residential zone so make sure you aren't breaking the law in the process.
YDI for being a shitty shot. I would of got it in the head and used the remaining veggies to make rabbit stew. Now theres some irony for you...
im sorry that ur pool is gone but shooting a bunny, i mean really, try and control your anger. it prob didnt realize that it was a garden i mean its a BUNNY not albert einstein.....try and use other methods.
how could you shoot a rabbit?? that's terrible! YDI
Why would you want to shoot an innocent rabbit? I'm glad the bunny got away!
YDI for missing. Seriously, if you even have half a brain you should be able to hit a wabbit that close with a .22
You sir fail.
now when you go out to eat i hope rabid bunnies follow you, steal your food and successfully shoot you in the leg.
woah, you so deserved that... shooting at an innocent bunny??? ARE YOU CRAZY?!
You're an asshole for trying to kill an innocent rabbit. YDI.
OH no you tried to shoot a poor defenseless, supposedly innocent animal...boo hooo, STFU people.
Animals (including rabbits) are edible and delicious.
YDI only for not being aware of what is beyond what you are shooting at, which is up there in the rule for shooting a gun
.
WTF IT'S A BUNNY, THEY ARE ADORABLE AND YOU ARE AN EVIL PERSON.
#218 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:42am by milkradio
Calm down, hippies. As others stated, he deserved it for being a lousy shot and shooting near his pool. But killing an animal who is destroying his property is rightful. Even if it wasn't destroying his property, if I had a loaded gun handy and saw it in my back yard, I'd certainly take a shot. Rabbit meat tastes great. Although it's far easier to trap a rabbit (then kill it) than to shoot it.
and #125: I lol'd. Hard. Slapped my desk while doing so.
And to add further to #125's comment: PETA does not stand for People for Ethical Treatment of Animals. It obviously stands for People Eat Tasty Animals.
serves you right for trying to shoot a rabbit, jackass.
Ok there Elmer Fudd. You'll get that pesky wabbit
YDI for being a huge toolbag
Wow. I agree with #125. Haha. But really, your fault for missing. Also for shooting so close to your pool. You should've seen that coming. And, definitely fuck all you who are crying about shooting the rabbit. Animals are here to provide food for us. I don't see you all complaining about when they eat each other. And at least shooting them is more humane than ripping them to shreads with our teeth and claws. And we still use them for food. So get the hell over it. Seriously. And I realize he wasn't shooting it for food, but you don't know that he wouldn't have eaten it afterwards. And even if he didn't, it's a rodent. You trap, poison, and kill rats, what's the difference?
YOUR FAULT! first rule of shooting, always know what is behind the target and understand what a shot missed means. YDI. Idiot.
There were probably less violent ways to deal with that.
Idiot. YDI
you must be american!
yup definatley american
If he/she was really a redneck, he/she wouldn't have missed. L2aim, fool.
OP: Congratulations, your life is f***ed. Why? Because you are a retarded redneck who not only is too lazy to find a more effective solution to your rabbit problem, but is stupid enough to, 1. Either not notice that the rabbit was standing close to your pool until you'd already shot a hole through it, or 2. Think that you are a good enough shot to hit the rabbit and miss the pool. I can't believe this FML passed mediation.
well, you deserved it, but I'll tell you what you did NOT deserve... The trillions of vicious and ignorant comments from PETA fans and others who are screaming animal abuse at you right now. I didn't even read them, but I'm sure they're there. I never would've posted this if it happened to me for that very reason.
Nothing wrong with defending your garden - in many areas rabbits are overpopulated anyway and stuff like this is always a natural part of their population cycle. Haha, but unfortunately its still a YDI for shooting too close to your pool.
#230 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:06am by Telcontar14
YDI for having terrible aim. And im not a gun expert, but I thought you cant shoot guns that close to other peoples homes. Unless u live in the middle of nowhere?
wow you deserve that you asshole. animals deserve to eat the food from a bitch
All I can say: YDI.
Why would you shoot a rabbit if it is so close to your pool..? Are you dumb? Or just so arrogant?
You shot at it while it was next to an above-ground pool? Rofl. And fail. YDI for stupidity.
You're sick. And goes to everyone else who doesn't think it's wrong. I realize animals are here for us to eat them (even though I'm a Vegetarian) but that doesn't mean we have to randomly kill them for some stupid reason. Wow, it's eating the plants in your garden. Big whoop. It's not like it's rabid and it's coming after you, you murderer. A normal, nonviolent thing to do is to get a Havehart cage trapper and set it free some where far away or put plastic net around your garden. Don't just kill a innocent animal. They're no different from us you freak.
What the fuck's wrong with you, asshole?
#236 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:13am by lewalrus
Next time turn the gun on yourself. Squirrels rape the stuff I plant all the time so you know what I do? I put netting around to stop them from getting in and I don't have to kill them.
#224: animals are killed with rifles and guns and stuff because humans are incapable of shredding meat with our "claws" and "fangs" and that is because we are not anatomically equipped with such weapons. In fact, we have no natural defenses on our bodies.
As for all you ignorant asses that are proud humans are the top of the food chain, the only reason we're there is because of man made weapons. If we had no weapons, we'd easily be toward the bottom. Other animals can kill us, making us obviously not the top. Get a brain, douchebags.
Also, those who spoke of trespassing, do you really think that animals should be expected to understand our logic (or lack thereof, in the case of most people)? They see an unprotected easily accessible food source, and they eat it. Why? Because it's there. If you don't want them to eat it, be smart.
99% of these comments are ridiculous and ignorant. If you eat meat, don't say "poor innocent animal!!!" because you look like a fucking jackass. Same goes for you assholes who say "KILL IT! IT DESERVES TO DIE FOR EATING YOUR FOOD!"
I'm a vegetarian and I don't agree with killing a rabbit because s/he "trespassed" on your food source (as if it's your only one... we don't live in the stone age, you know), nor do I agree with the death of any creature. The ignorance of people sometimes seriously shocks me. Especially you assholes that own guns.
#238 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:16am by danceonyourgrave
I don't blame you for trying to shoot it. It's on your property, so it's your prerogative as to how you want to rid yourself of it. I personally wouldn't be able to shoot a rabbit because I find those little guys to be mad fuckin cute. But I won't push my agenda on you or anyone else; just because I wouldn't do it doesn't mean that it's wrong, right?
However, you are a moron for shooting with your pool in your line of site. A .22 is only accurate within, what? 50ft? If you're shooting it from beyond that range, you're asking for trouble. If you can't hit it from inside 50ft, you should reconsider the idea of you even owning a gun. Stories like this are the reason we even need gun control.
Don't you look where you're shooting... like if I miss or something what could happen... common sense...
dumbass, use a shotgun next time.
One of the first rules of gun safety is to know what is beyond your target! You either need to take (or re-take) Hunter's Safety, or relinquish your guns.
jesus who the hells first reaction to a problem is "... rifle". Frankly you scare me...not even a joke...
#195: "It's not like we NEED heme iron and animal protein in our diets!"
We DON'T need them; not specifically from animals anyway. We need protein because protein is made up of amino acids, and there are certain amino acids (eight of them) that our body can't make itself. You can get these just as easily from vegetable protein; in beans, grains (wheat, etc), nuts; eat some beans and bread and you're getting some. There's nothing magical about animal protein (after all, where do you think the herbivores got their protein?)
As for iron; pretty much any green leafy veg will be chock full of it. You're talking nonsense.
If you like meat and want to eat it, do so. Just don't pretend that you HAVE to, because you don't.
As a PS: PETA are a misguided terrorist organisation and I disagree with both their goals and the means they use to obtain them.
You thought an innocent animal deserved to die because it ate some plants in your garden? My goodness, you're one screwed up person. Have some respect for the lives of other beings. YDI it massively.
#238: "Also, those who spoke of trespassing, do you really think that animals should be expected to understand our logic (or lack thereof, in the case of most people)? They see an unprotected easily accessible food source, and they eat it. Why? Because it's there. If you don't want them to eat it, be smart."
So when a mosquito bites you, you let it drink your blood, an unprotected easily available food source, without interruption?
This isn't just about food; it's about property, that costs work and money; if a wild animal got into your home and started utterly trashing it, you would do nothing to stop it because you don't expect it to understand the logic that your home is your property, your territory?
I could care less that you tried to kill an innocent animal.
The fact that you missed your target, and obviously by a pretty wide margin. YDI for having no gun control.
#247 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:34am by benw2200
Agrees with #1. You're an ass. There are sulfur-based smelly gardening stuff to keep bunnies away from gardens. YDI. I hope you over paid for that pool.
work on your aim, sure you'll get it next time
the rabbit deserves that shit
Okay, veggies, here's some food for thought:
Plants are alive too. Just because they can't feel pain (and even that's debated) does not mean that they're any less important. If you're going to claim that killing is bad in any circumstance, then live off of nothing but fruit. It may still have living cells, but it's offered to us by the plants. Oh, but wait! I bet there were pesticides used in producing that fruit, which means innocent insects were killed. Guess you can't eat that either, douche bags. I suggest you starve to death; we need less people like you.
I don't believe that anything should be killed unless it's for food. Except humans, of course. We should try and leave those alone. Eating them is considered cannibalism, and is generally a bad idea.
YDI for being a shitty shot, though. I understand that you tried to kill it, but apparently you suck at killing things, so next time try a fricking fence around your garden or some rabbit-repellent stuff. That tends to work a lot better than blowing a hole in your pool.

Do you think it was very fair of you to attempt to kill another live emotional being for trespassing in an area that he didn't realize he was not supposed to be in? REALLY?
I'm glad you missed, and I'm glad that your basement is flooded. Maybe now you see the damage that a gun can cause.
The poor bunny was just hungry. I'm pretty sure he wasn't purposely trying to inconvenience you. Ever heard of a live animal trap? Jeez. Whatever. You deserve it.
Above ground pool + rifle = the most redneck FML by far. How did this guy even figure out how to use a computer?
I'm guessing your white trash, but the spoiled rich kind that drives a luxury truck and has many expensive guns. Next time, just turn the gun on yourself you fucking republican.
that's so horrible that you tried to shoot a cute bunny!!!
wow you could not deserve that more
Well. I don't know which city you live in, but where I live, it is illegal to discharge a firearm within city limits, so let's say your in my city, just for the hell of it. There are so many more ways to get rid of an annoying animal then using a gun. You can trap it and then release it where it won't come into contact with anyone ever again, [Yes that is a quote from Steve Irwin], or simply put up a fence or get a dog. People say you're a red neck, I just say your stupid as hell. Before you fire a weapon, you always keep in mind what is downwind of your target, and what you may be able to hit. Since it is a 22. rifle, which I also own, I can say the effective range is anywhere from 400 to 700 meters. Forgive me if I am mistaken. This is more then enough range in a city to go straight through a house or fence and possibly hit someone. It was also kinda stupid of you to not see your pool, or see it and think the 22. round wouldn't penetrate.
For those who don't want to read my massive wall of text, short and sweet.
YDI
#257 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:04pm by SP63
first of all i'm gonna say it's a YDI, just making that clear, no doubt about it. now, have any of you ever experienced the annoyances of fucking rabbits in the spring? i'm surprised he didn't keep shooting even after the pool. my area is infested with them, and if you want any hope of any plant growing in your garden, you do what you have to do. everyone's like "oh the poor bunny boo hoo hoo". they're seriously bad. now, i don't condone the killing of the bunnies, but keep shooting to scare it away or something. i've tried numerous methods myself (all non-lethal i swear), and they seriously get more annoying than Carrot Top doing a "comedy" show while Richard Simmons tries to get you to dance to it.
#254: although i'm a liberal, i think you're a cunt. don't judge people like that unless you want to be judged yourself. oh. told.
Okay OP, people love bunnies. Even if bunnies raped and killed your family, you would get no sympathy from 14-year-old girls on the internets.
Also, you're a gun-crazy Texan who likes solving problems by killing things. This also, would not get you sympathy from 14-year-old girls on the internets.
So this is more like... the wrong thing posted on the wrong site. But I hope you learned a lesson not to solve your problems by violence in the future!
#259 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:12pm by thelonelylurker
don't listen to these liberal fucks, they never really know anything when they claim they do, ydi tho for your poor aim, i've never missed a shot like that in my yard. and for all you liberals this is what i mean when i say you never really know what your doing : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3erdgVVTw :
rabbits are pests and if it was starving don't you think it could be put out of it's misery?
rabbits don't go near people unless under dire circumstances
But though i dont mind you trying to kill it, missing and cracking your pool is FREAKING STUPID
Gotta say YDI for missing
you're an idiot hahaha! YDI
Fucking rednecks. Perhaps if you pulled John Deer out of your ass you would recognize that there are more logical solutions to your problems than blow shit up. But I guess that's too much to ask from someone who clearly did not mature past the age of 11. You could not deserve it more, honestly. I hope next time you miss it puts YOU out of OUR misery.
And yes, if having the common sense to recognize that there are more humane and logical ways to keep rabbits out of your garden than pulling out your shotgun means I'm liberal, then I am happy to be one.
Seriously? A rabbit? You realize people keep those as pets right? And you realize they are totally harmless? The rabbit was just trying to feed itself, and maybe a litter of babies as well. It has no idea that it was taking things from your garden, and that you would be upset. The rabbit sees food and eats it. Growing up my mom had a garden, and she always would get frustrated because the critters would eat her cherry tomatoes. After a while, she good naturedly planted a tomato plant for the critters, and potted a tomato plant for our family.
For the record though, to all you posters who have asked in prior comments - I don't eat meat. I haven't since I was ten. My husband eats meat however, and he happens to agree with me that you not only went to the extreme, but that it was beyond uncalled for.
Ok, all you animal freaks shut up there are children starving and your worried about rabbits.
Hahah 254. Harsh
And 250, seriously? I hate people who flip out at people for being vegetarian as if it could possibly effect them negatively. They only do it to feel superior or just to insult people. Ignorant fools. And I'm not even a veggie
for you liberals who think your'e intelligent just because you think you refuse to use the permanent solution.
Use poison next time or learn to aim. FYL
I love all the "ydi for trying to kill an animal" idiots. Rabbits shouldn't be roaming through back yards, killing one is not going to suddenly wipe out the species. Take a chill pill.
way to have anger management issues...my mom is a gardener and she avoids the inconveniences of animals destroying her plants through other ways that are rather effective. you should look into some non-violent solutions to your problems.
#269- Those back yards were the rabbit's natural habitat long before they were back yards. You fail.
OP- You deserve it for "wanting to get revenge" on an animal with a brain 1/10th the size of your own.
Actually, no. Your brain is probably the same size. Moron.
You tried to shoot a rabbit?! =O *cue Bambi clips of Thumper*
Bastard.
I sincerely hope that they don't let you vote.
SUCKED IN - Long live the bunny..........
WOW
some of you fucking idiots are acting as if he tried to kill a human. It was a fucking Rabbit.
Do you not realize that people do worse shit to other animals just so you can eat?
Seriously. Grow the fuck up. He didn't even try to torture it. He tried to kill it instantly. My goodness what has America come to.
This is why we need more gun control laws... =/
Ok, this is totally your fault because a) you thought death was appropriate payback for a rabbit who just wanted some food, and b) you apparently couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if you were INSIDE said barn.
Try this spray next time; it keeps the wascally wabbits away without making you look like the dumbass you are in the process. http://www.havahart.com/store/animal-repellents/5600
Yo, IDIOT, What the..... No no, I cannot comprehend the reason why you would shoot a bunny rabbit thats next to your POOL.... I simply cannot comprehend. I'm very happy to hear about your basement, Dipshit.
#278 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:53pm by PakiPakiPaki
Did that bunny drown in the flood if so you kinda succeeded
LOL I just realized this is a great bugs bunny joke opportunity. Unfortuately, a bunch of people beat me to it.
And I agree with #275. Settle down, b'ys.
Those who are saying "YDI for shooting an innocent animal" better be vegetarians or vegans. Otherwise you're a bunch of hypocrites. In all honesty though, the OP should have been looking where he was shooting...
#56
"Also 53, rabbits aren't vermin, they're pets. People have them as PETS.
So assuming its alright to shoot a rabbit, is it okay to shoot a cat, or a dog?"
I must also let you know people keep rats and mice as pets, which ARE vermin and I WOULD kill. They keeps spiders too, ants, scorpions, fish, shark, you eat fish don't you? I hope you're not eating it live...
#282 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:58pm by PakiPakiPaki
YDI! Dumb ass, watch where you're shooting. People like you give the rest of us with guns a bad name. Besides, rabbits are easy to trap, and trapping doesn't mess up the meat of the fur.
275, I think "what has America come to" is a little melodramatic. Further, it's entirely possible that the people you are complaining about are vegetarians/vegans, and thus your statement about people doing worse things to animals so they can eat is invalid. And even if they're not, killing an animal for food is completely different from killing an animal for revenge. The first scenario is a semi-necessary evil, while the second is just retarded.
Also, having seen what we have of this guy's aim, I think it's safe to say that whether he *wanted* to torture the bunny or not, inevitably he would have had to shoot it five or six times before it did the trick.
Not like the bunny KNEW he wasn't supposed to eat that, lol. YDI, I'm pretty sure shooing it away angrily would have given the bunny the hint.
I have two gardens, one is fenced up, and the other is left out for the rabbits. They're also really good for eating my dandelions. But even if a rabbit was to eat my entire garden, I wouldn't starve OR get angry. As for mice and bugs, I use humane traps for the mice and set them free, and I'll be honest, I let the ants, spiders, and a few other bugs crawl through my basement. I just make sure it's as clean as possible. As for the people bringing up mosquitoes, I let them take whatever they want, but I tend to stay away from sugary things and they avoid me.
The OP was not killing the animal for food. He was killing it for revenge, as he so idiotically stated. So those of you using protein as justification for this should seek another angle.
OP- How does it feel to be less intelligent than a rabbit?
#281, it's more the fact that this guy was shooting it for revenge/cuz he wanted to. Not for necessary food.
"275, I think "what has America come to" is a little melodramatic. Further, it's entirely possible that the people you are complaining about are vegetarians/vegans, and thus your statement about people doing worse things to animals so they can eat is invalid."
Neither you nor I know if everyone being a whinny bitch about the situation is vegan. Therefore, this statement affects you as much as it does me.
"And even if they're not, killing an animal for food is completely different from killing an animal for revenge. The first scenario is a semi-necessary evil, while the second is just retarded."
So basically, it's OKAY for you to kill an animal in order to eat it. But it wouldn't be OKAY for me to kill it because it's destroying my garden?
Okay, hypocrite. Killing is killing. And killing a rabbit isn't nearly as bad as some are making it out to be.
"Also, having seen what we have of this guy's aim, I think it's safe to say that whether he *wanted* to torture the bunny or not, inevitably he would have had to shoot it five or six times before it did the trick."
Spoken like someone who's never used a gun. It depends on the gun he used and the size of the rabbit. Trust me, it would have died almost instantly.

people like you absolutely disgust me! its horrible that you would honestly take the life of another animal because it ate your FUCKING PLANTS! omg its the most horrible thing in the world! FUCK YOU BASTARD AND ROT IN HELL
""""""people like you absolutely disgust me! its horrible that you would honestly take the life of another animal because it ate your FUCKING PLANTS! omg its the most horrible thing in the world! FUCK YOU BASTARD AND ROT IN HELL""""""""""""""
And apparently I was being melodramatic.
In this country, attempting to kill a rabbit is apparently the most horrible thing in the world...........
I have no issue with you going after rabbits. I shoot at squirrels all the time, the only difference is, I use an air rifle. Adequate fire power for an urban environment. And it won't send the neighbors calling the police on you.
You deserved it for not checking your backstop, fool. Even if you had hit the rabbit, it probably would have just gone through, into the pool anyway. You also deserved it for your poor choice of weapon.
@292, it's not the most horrible thing in the world but it's still plain horrible. Leave the poor rabbit alone. YDI
You missed, the bullet was right on target. YDI
thats what you get for shooting at a poor helpless little bunny..i hope someone shoots you
#290- The difference is not a matter of what is OKAY and what is not OKAY. The morality of the situation is left to each reader to determine according to their beliefs. The difference is in the necessity of killing for food versus the necessity of killing for revenge. If we did not kill for food, we would die. If we did not kill for revenge, there would be no consequences.
I hope you die in your fucking sleep you dickface trying to kill a cute little bunny just because it ate some plants. Prick
Always be aware of what is behind your target.
You deserve it for two reasons. You obviously is a lousy shot and need more practice shooting. Second, .22? Really? Come on..... that's not a revenge. Bring out your .308 or .30-06. That will send the rabbit to the moon in pieces
Hahaha! Silly Rabbit! Bullets are for pools!
what a douche. you totally deserve that. let's hope somebody doesn't shoot you when you innocently try to get something to eat. ahaha redneck
#305 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:53pm by SarahP456
bahahahaha fail XD
really though, you needed to get revenge on a fluffy little bunny for screwing with your garden? how macho of you. YDI.
You deserve that!!! Don't mess with rabbits. =)
he doesnt deserve it, the fucking rabbit ate his grand ma's carrots! fucking rodents
#6 took the words right out of my--... -Looks at keyboard.- ... right off my fingers?
Look, I know alot of you people are upset that he shot at a rabit, but some of you are being a bit overboard. Being executed for shooting a rabbit? Someone could be murdered and you wouldn't really care, but oh no, if someone shoots at a rabies infested rabbit, then all hell breaks lose, the rabbit isn't a cute little tamed bunny you see at the pet store, it will try and tear you to shreds if you get close enough. If a Lion was charging at you because it wanted you for a snack, are you going to shoot it or are you going to let it eat you? I think most of you would let the thing maul your face off because you didn't want to be "mean." All of you people preaching about the food web, you are contradicting yourselves, humans are part of the food web as well, they kill and eat the smaller species for food. Since hurting this rabbit for potential food is so bad, stop eating because if you do eat you are hurting all of those animals and plants used to make your meal. Give me a break. The guy isn't a redneck because he owns a firearm, it is in the constitution that you have the right to own them, so why not own one? This generation of humanity is so pathetic. Anyway, killing animals to be cruel is wrong, but if you kill it to eat it, then so be it.

You are going to compare a little, skittish rabbit, who was just a little hungry and wanted some food so it doesn't DIE to a crazed lion (which really wouldn't attack unless it felt threatened)? seriously. you know absolutely nothing about animals. Viscious rabbits? SERIOUSLY? And there are less extreme measures than killing the rabbit. Its called a RABBIT FENCE they were specifically invented to keep guns out of the hands of idiots like this guy. And people like you who don't know a squirrel froma tiger.
You're an idiot. Did you honestly expect to find sympathy here? Why the hell did you fire a gun towards your pool if you're such a lousy shot?! That was just plain idiotic.
And shooting and killing a rabbit just because it ate some of your vegetables? If there's a hell, I hope you rot in it.
too bad you didn't shoot yourself, you idiotic asshole.
#310 shut the fuck up you dumbass, I didn't read anywhere that the rabbit had rabies, and I'm sure nobody said that if someone was murdered they didn't care. I swear people like you are stupid, he killed it because he was angry with it not so he could eat it, asswipe... xoxo lovely
i gotta agree with the YDI for not paying attention to how close your pool was, but freak its just a rabbit, hardly makes you a terrible person. sorry about your basement and all.
Wow. Everyone has said what ive thought. Ummmm he ate your vegetables. SO WHAT?!?!?!
You dont just casually shoot at a rabbit! Im glad you flodded your basement. Hope you think twice before shooting ANYTHING next time.
..Who ever said the rabbit had rabies, infact, why assume it had rabies at all? It didn't try to attack him, he shouldn't try shooting it. And LOL @ it trying to tear you to shreds. Rabbits are shy animals, if you get too close they'll just run away. Alot of rabbits that come into my yard have no problem with me coming towards them, and I have yet to see one tear somebody to shreds. They either stay and be petted or they run away. Seriously, once again, I have never heard or seen anyone being "ripped to shreds"
you should have put a snare up, that way you could have caught him, made a stew, and solve your problem with a nice meal.
good! you deserve it! why would you shoot a defenseless bunny rabbit! you pu$$y
yeah your a douche for that one. YDI.
You have no business touching a firearm. You could have hurt someone. Keep you stupid hands off guns.
#319 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:35pm by RodeHard
WOW. there's stuff at like home depot that you put in your garden to keep pests like rabbits away. was shooting at it really necessary? it's just hungry you stupid dick. you deserve to get your basement flooed. animal cruelty. you probably live in some backward town in the south married to your sister.
Some people don't need to own guns. What if you had missed and it hit a child in your neighbors yard? Go to a shooting range and get some practice. As for the rabbit if he out smarted you then you deserve it. I can't criticize you for trying to shoot the rabbit but don't raise a gun to shoot unless you really know how to use a weapon.
ha no life having to get revenge on a BUNNY
#322 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:42pm by nazooer
there's this cat that keeps coming into my family's yard and every time any windows are left down in our cars it pisses on the seats...and once a few weeks ago it was laying ON TOP of my dad's AMC JAVELIN. that car is, like, my dad's most prized posession. he said he was gonna shoot the cat (with a BB gun, just to stun it), then skin it, cook it on his grill, eat it, then wax his car with the skin....
haha my sister was about to die when he said that xD
#312 I'm just stating on certain comments and possibilities. I think he is a dumbass/deserves it because he killed the rabbit for revenge not to eat it. Chill out.
#315, I said if you get too close to the rabbit it will TRY to rip you to shreds, im just saying it in a metaphorical way not literal way. Yeah, from your experience they are nice creatures, from my experiences they go after you if you get near them.
damn rabbits, moles and other diggers.
but instead of rifle it's better to use traps with claws.
i hope you'll kill this animalshit soon and repair your basement and pool.
People should stop saying "poor bunny" because they never really had to know what bunnies could do. They reproduce quickly and destroy foliage. Their season is all year round. And it's .223 not 22.. And good job #79, but hippies aren't all for animals, some actually had some sense.
lol! shooting rabbits or other pests is fine by me, just aim before you shoot. Rabbits are pests, not "innocent creatures".
Most would say YDI for shooting an animal but he probably lives in one of those places where killing animals is common.
i think its a redneck only rednecks would shoot at bunnies with a 22
#331 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:08pm by anon19726
karmas a bitch. remember that next time you try to kill animals that are just doing whats natural
Good, you shouldn't be shooting at innocent animals you ass.
Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ, are you guys really getting that pissed for the guy trying to shoot at a rabbit?
I'm convinced the average age here is 12.
Virtually everyone on FMyLife is someone who hates humans and loves animals. You are an idiot if you thought you would get sympathy from them.
Other than that, why would you try to blow a rabbits head off for ruining your garden? lol you must live in the south.
i think it's crazy how people are freaking out over a fucking rabbit. these guys are serious pests. i would equate them to hopping roaches that somehow have the power to make people think they're cute through telepathy. they are the land version of the pigeon. honestly people, it's a fucking rabbit. it eats people's plants and is a serious pest especially to farmers. now, even though the OP probably isn't on a farm or anything, people need to calm the fuck down. it's a rabbit. hasn't anyone ever heard the expression "fuck like bunnies"? that's because they reproduce like there's no tomorrow. wake up people. it's a pest.
#227: fuck you for hating on an entire country where there are many different views and not everyone is like our former douchebag president Bush.
#291: somebody forgot to take their ritalin this morning.
before anybody starts trying to chew my head off, i in fact support gun control laws and think it's ridiculous how many there are. i'm also a liberal, not a redneck republican (there is more than one kind of republican). please wake up people. thanks.

i love how all the people bitching about the rabbit probably eat lots of chicken and beef. anywho YDI for ever shooting off a gun if you were going to miss anyway
xD The bullet missed. I'm sorry your bullets don't follow orders. You shouldn't have been trying to kill a bunny.
Thats what you get for trying to kill an innocent rabbit ya damn whore
Poor farmer.
http://pichaus.com/comic-funny-carrots-benjamin-@676913135f80c4ad7abd47fb0fa25692/
also, if you all aren't vegans, think about how you get food.
EDIT: before you all go off on this guy again, please read my previous posts so you can think before you speak.
LOL:
Nature:1
Redneck: 0, plus 15' 000 gallons of water.
BTW, couldn't you have plugged it? A .22 bullet hols is tiny.
Now you know that it would have been easier and cheaper to have taken preventative measures to keep pests out of your garden in the first place.
#345 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:24pm by YLS
Do you really have nothing better to do? Way to let a rabbit cost you the thousands I presume it will cost to drain your basement.
Discharging a firearm in a residential area is a crime. I hope your neighbours did their neighbourly duty and called the coppers on you.
Beverly Hillbillies much?
Okay, I don't have a problem with you shooting at the bunny, I don't have a problem with you not checking behind your target. But how the hell do you not plug a hole in the pool before 15,000 gallons of water spill out through a pencil-sized hole. It would have taken 3 days to leak out.
YDI for shooting at an innocent animal, and for being stupid enough to miss.
You deserve to be in a psych ward. Shooting at an animal for eating some flowers? That doesn't sound right.
Wow. I'm definitely liberal and have been called a hippie many times, but I'm totally for shooting the rabbit. Fences really don't work depending on where you're living (even chicken wire ones) and I think that poison is way too dangerous for a variety of reasons, plus more inhumane. What I think this shows is the complete disconnect with nature that has developed--even if you buy meat from a grocery store, you're killing it--and a disturbing ignorance about what is done to the animals who are, to quote #134, "birthed and raised for food." It's much more humane to kill a bunny (yes a cute fuzzy wuzzy bunny or any other WILD animal) that has gotten to enjoy life out of a feed lot. It's probably tons healthier for you too.
Maybe its because I grew up hunting and fishing safely with no swimming pools involved, but I'd also argue if you can't kill, don't eat meat and get off your high horse. Most vegans and vegetarians have no idea what level of impact they are still having on the environment with their lifestyle choices (Mr. Awesome and knowledgeable motorcycle veg excluded..sorry I'm to lazy to look up your name). I'd also argue though, it you're not going to eat it, you really shouldn't kill it unless you must.
And really, all you people who said you'd totally let rats live in your houses? I'm calling liars on you. Not only is that fairly dangerous-disease wise, but they also bite people, chew through wiring, and smell like shit when they die in your walls and you can't get to them.
OP. If you ARE in an urban area (which you might NOT be), get an airsoft gun. No matter what, learn gun safety and how to aim.

#238, you're a fucking moron.
"As for all you ignorant asses that are proud humans are the top of the food chain, the only reason we're there is because of man made weapons. If we had no weapons, we'd easily be toward the bottom. Other animals can kill us, making us obviously not the top. Get a brain, douchebags."
Do you know WHY we don't have claws and incredibly sharp teeth? Because we've evolved, jackass. We gained intelligence that has allowed us to outsmart our prey and make useful weapons that reduces the energy required for a meal. Just because I can't kick a tiger's ass one on one doesn't mean that I can't kill it or that it makes me any less of a hunter. We just evolved past having to use brawn to take down a meal.
I Agree with #34. Dealing with critters who come through your home is fine. I am sure that all of you have placed poison for insects and mouse traps for mice (Hey they are trying to survive too! So why do you kill them? Cause they are pests!)
Still YDI. Seriously you outsmarted by a rabbit! LOL.
U deserve it jerk.
Shooting a cute little bunny becasue it it ate your flowers.
JERK
wow #111
you're such a evolutionist wannabe i can't stop laughing at your comment.
It's so ridiculous
angry issues much? YDI i love rabbits.
YDI for having such a whitetrash style of using guns for whatever stupid thing you can think of.
Thats what you get for trying to kill a bunny, it was only looking for food, unlike you who basically has everything supplied to them.
And eating an animal doesn't mean you killed it, it's already dead. It didn't "rebirth" (for lack of better word) while it was in the grocery store being frozen, and then killed once it was cooked and eaten.
Its not so much that you should feel guilty for doing it, everyones used to eating meat... why is it wrong for us to eat meat, but if a lion were to kill a human it's expected.
It's a ridiculous concept, its not wrong for a lion to do it because it needs food to survive, as do we. And idk who really likes living off of pills for the rest of their lives to absorb nutrients. [Sorry vegs]
you jerk. i'm glad your basement flooded.
dont you think a rifle is alittle much? try a bb gun next time
WHO THE FUCK SHOTS A RABBIT?!?!!?!?!?
YDI for being a dumb redneck.
hey you retard next time you are hungry dont eat for days it is to bad you didnt shoot yourself the pool was fine but next time maybe it will bf yourself leave the rabbit alone he is trying to survive also ydi
hey dumb dumb... Know your target and what's beyond! It's one of the major rules when it comes to firearm safety. It's idiotic bastards like you that make the liberals want them banned. After all, your pool coulda been someone's kid. Like others have said... Build a fence or trap it and call your local fish and game to ask about what the legal way of taking care of the animal is be it re-location or eating it! By the way, to all the liberals who say trying to shoot the rabit is animal abuse and all that junk... I'm a member of PETA... People who Eat Tasty Animals, that is!
So basically, a living organism was looking for food and and deserves to die?
Bunnies were MEANT to eat garden stuff, it's there natural food...would you like it if someone tried to KILL you next time you go to a restaurant?
Is that garden so important to you?
Like, do you absolutely NEED that food to survive? You can't go somewhere or get something to eat? But that single garden is your 100% food source?
I'm pretty sure it is for that bunny...try to put yourself in its shoes. Or whatever it uses to walk lol ;).
Ok. Let's look at the situation. A rabbit destroys a garden so you destroy your pool. Good job......self-punishment for even trying to kill that innocent little animal.
And 368....I didn't know rabbits were a food that tons of people eat.
gun+
pool+
very fast animal
=fail.
YDI. Just try and capture the rabbit and take it to animal control. Or you could have called them to come over and try to get it themselves. Don't kill an animal just because it was eating to survive. You do that yourself and I doubt anybody tries to shoot at you.
hmmmm sad part is...to make yourself feel better you wanted revenge on a rabbit....pathetic
I wish they had intelligence tests before voting. The world would be a better place if people like you did not have a voice.
#368- Your post was one incredibly ignorant statement after another, strung together by terrible grammar and spelling. FYI, making blanket generalizations by referring to everyone with differing views from your own as liberals in a slanderous manner just makes you and all conservatives look like fools incapable of recognizing legitimate information when it slaps you in the face. If that was your intention, so be it. If not, I would reconsider.
Sometimes I hate this site. Most of the FMLs are "Today, I was a jerk/dumbass and karma kicked my sorry ass. FML" YDI on so many levels, that it's scary.
You f'ing idiot! It's not that hard to miss a friggin' rabbit! AND you don't even know that the period is supposed to go before the caliber number like so .22 rifle! Seriously! did you even take the time to aim your rifle! IT'S NOT HARD!
you are a horrible person shooting a poor rabit for trying to live.... and your also an idiot for shooting the rabit that close to your pool... so YDI~~~
#379 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:24pm by oloie
Get revenge on the bunny? Wow you are such an IDIOT. Not to mention a complete jackass. That's what happens when you put guns into the wrong hands... 'let me kill something just because I can.' I'm so happy your basement got flooded.
was the rabbit that big that you needed a rifle? -.- you couldda just set up a trap, caught the rabbit, and released it like 5 miles away from your home... -_-
Get revenge on the bunny? Wow you are such an IDIOT. Not to mention a complete jackass. That's what happens when you put guns into the wrong hands... 'let me kill something just because I can.' I'm so happy your basement got flooded. Oh and #375, right on.
good, YDI.
Honestly who the hell goes after innocent bunnies because they invaded a garden? are you on drugs or something like really.
that's what you get for shooting at a poor innocent bunny wabbit. my bunny hates you now.
Hi, you're a douchebag.
Please relieve us of yourself, at the very least yourself of the gun.
You're despicable, frankly. That's not what guns are for.
The rabbit did what it does naturally. If you don't want whatever it was to get eaten, bloody put up some kind of protection in the first place.
#386 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:37pm by callummm
nice job helping out the environment by wasteing that water u douchbag
do you mean a .22 rifle? NOT a 22. rifle
a 22. is a cannonball
You're really really dumb. Rabbit's are jerks, which is why you put up a fence. I don't think you were murdering it or any such thing, but why do you even have a gun if you don't know how to use it? If you miss a still rabbit at that range, you really shouldn't have any firearms. Go practice more, moron.
Rabbits are not people, shooting a rabbit isn't murder. Just FYI for all you leftist PETA activists out there.
YOU SOOO DESERVED IT !! STUPID ANIMAL ABUSER, GO BURN IN HELL YOU POOPYHEAD, DIE MAN DIE, BUNNIES ARE CUTE I SAW ONE TODAY, IT WAS HOPPING, hop hop hop, ANYWHO , YOU DESERVED , GRRR
HOW DARE YOU.
I'm glad your basement flooded.
Wow, hope you drown with your basement
ha ha 388 comments and every single person here thinks your stupid. YDI.
well, at least your precious garden plants will be watered now.
hope that's worth the death of a poor bunny who's just doing what rabbits do, eating greens.
join PETA asap you fucking redneck
WTF? You ACTUALLY attempted to shoot a rabbit just because it ate your plants. That's not exactly eye for eye YDI.
And shooting at things in your yard is better than putting a fense around your garden because....
You know you're a redneck when.
Now, if those vegetables were your only form of food, and you can't afford to buy vegetables from the market, OR, you're a farmer and depend on those vegetables for income, then FYL.
However, if that's just your little hobby garden that you use for salads to impress your friends with, then YDI.
Personally, I don't think you should kill animals for "revenge", but if you really think you had to, you should have checked your surroundings before you fired the bullet. What if there was a person there?
holy fuck! why would you use a RIFLE to shoot a rabbit?! Why didn't you just do the normal thing and stomp on the ground and scare him away? or build a fence around your garden? you are a complete moron. YDI
FUCKKKK YOUU!!!
dunt hurt animallsss...
hahah karma got you guddd bitch :)
YOU ASSHOLE!!! like the rabbit says "Hey, look! I think I will eat those delicious plants JUST to ruin that guys day!!!" No. He was just enjoying his natural habitat and eating food to survive!!! If I marched into the grocery store with a gun while you were shopping through the vegetable aisle and just shot you in your fat ass, would you say... "Well i guess I shouldn't have tried to eat those plants!"?? God, I hate you. You deserve more than a wet basement.
I am sooo glad your basement flooded>> karma is a bitch huh
HAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAH! karma's a bitch, my lovely. HAAAAAAAAAAAA.
that is all.
Oh, and 377 got it right on the head.
dude, thats what rabbits do.
i don't get it...did you think they were carnivores?
#406 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:02pm by vag
jesus christ he was protecting his garden people... if it had been a five foot rattlesnake in his garden how many of you city boys/girls would "hop" on here bitching about shooting at that? but because it's a fuzzy wuzzy wabbit that walt disney got his hands on and mind fucked you all with, everyone decides to raise hell.
i don't think the OP posted this so we could have a debate on how he should of disposed of the rabbit, i think the main idea is that he fucked his pool/basement up....
damn almost comment #420...
"the bullet" didnt miss, you missed. and I doubt that a .22lr round (very small) would cause catastrophic failure to a pool designed to hold 15000 gallons of water.
Karma's a bitch isn't it? Maybe you shouldn't shoot at bunnies DICK.
#102 is what is wrong with America
you are a DUMDASS. i think you mean you got daddy's .22 out, cuz if it was yours, you wouldnt be dumb enough to aim remotely close to anything you don't want to shoot....fuck face
... I really didn't think there were people this stupid in the world until I started reading fmylife.
it seriously blows my mind.
and does it bother anyone else that the OP's first thoughts after seeing his garden eaten was "I must get revenge on whatever animal did this by killing it?"
#412 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:15pm by reetah
YDI for being an asshole, hope you rot in hell you piece of shit
290, you're right, I don't know if everyone complaining on here is a vegan. That's why I said it's *possible,* rather than absolutely true. I don't know what you mean by "this statement affects you as much as it does me." And further, "whinny" is the sound a horse makes, not an adjective.
"So basically, it's OKAY for you to kill an animal in order to eat it. But it wouldn't be OKAY for me to kill it because it's destroying my garden?"
Yeah, that's what I said. Though to be fair, I'm a vegetarian, so this doesn't apply. There are ways to deal with animals destroying your garden that do not involve killing the animals. I suggest you look into them. It's not NECESSARY
Okay, hypocrite. Killing is killing.
#407.. If he shot a rattlesnake, I'd still bitch. Just like the rabbit, he could call to get it removed from his yard. And btw, walt disney didn't do shit. It's a living, breathing creature trying to feed itself.
But, tbh, comparing a rattlesnake to a rabbit isn't the same. A rattlesnake could harm somebody, the worst the rabbit can do is apparently take something from the garden
It's something called karma. That's what you get for attempting to kill a rabbit!
somewhere in the world right now,
that rabbit is laughing his ass off
you could have just bought a fence or something.
YDI for trying to shoot at a bunny. Shame on you.

"Okay, hypocrite. Killing is killing."
US law says otherwise. There's a reason that there are charges for murder 1, murder 2, and manslaughter. Intent and necessity are important factors in killing. if you kill something for food, it's because you're hungry. I don't agree with it, but I won't try to stop you. If you kill something for revenge, it's because you're an ass. Big difference.

LOL idiots like the OP are about half the reason I'm so supportive of strict gun control. Give guns to the people that are smart enough to handle them properly. #1 don't shoot a gun in your goddamn backyard, and #2 you're so untrained with a firearm and so unaware of your surroundings that you didn't even notice the 15,000 gallon pool right behind the rabbit? Next time it could be a kid, or the mailman. It's also interesting that your gun education is lacking badly enough so that you don't know the period is supposed to go BEFORE the caliber. Hope the government takes away your rifle, jackass.
This is the absolute and most perfect example of a YDL.
you people probably read in the newspaper and see in the news about countless people dying and being killed, and you barely give a shit. My GOD, its a rabbit!! It doesn't have enough cranial capacity to really understand anything except food and sex. "But..... but.... its cute!!" Shut up! Please! Value HUMAN LIFE. This probably put him in a BIG FINANCIAL SITUATION. I mean, he deserved it for shooting at his own, colossal pool, but shut up about the fucking rabbit.
291, stfu. I'm pretty sure genocide is worse than a bunny dying. It's bad, sure, but don't be such a six-year-old about it.
Too bad it didn't flood your whole house, asshole.
I don't care about the Rabbit...
Fuck your Life... You missed.
Step 1) Buy a "Have a Heart" trap.
Step 2) Put veggies in the trap.
Step 3) Catch the rabbit.
Step 4) Shoot it while it is in the cage, so if you miss you don't hit your pool.
You're also a dumbass, you deserved this.
stop crying over him shooting a "poor, innocent rabbit", he deserves it because he didn't think to shoot at it at an angle that wasn't going at the pool.
dear god your a complete asshole you soooo fucking deserved that! if i had seen you doing this i probably woulda pulled out my rifle and shot you in the leg
oh no! he tried to shoot at the cute little bunny rabbit!
you all need to shut up. he doesn't deserve it for shooting at the rabbit, he deserves it for not shooting at it at an angle where he wouldn't hit his new pool.
Some of you seriously need to calm down. Yeah, shooting at the rabbit wasn't a very intelligent idea, especially since he may or may not have the best aim, but that still does not mean that he deserves:
a) death
b) an epic flood of his whole house
c) a toxic mold colony
d) or any other melodramatic punishment/sentence
Seriously, he got more than he deserved already...and unless the vast majority of posters are lifelong vegans in diet and lifestyle, which I highly doubt, then they really need to just chill.
fuck YOUR life? your fml is 'my pool is wrecked' that bunnies is 'some dumb ass attempted to shoot me today because i had a sncak.' screw you self absorbed ass YDI
He eats your plants so you attempt to take his life? YDI
There are ways to keep unwanted creatures out of your garden. Invest in them. Do some research. A simple Google search would take you far.
Also #433, I am a vegan and I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least a good number of vegetarians on this site.
You can't take revenge on an animal. I don't mean it's wrong, I mean it's impossible. Animals don't do revenge. They do survival. Get a dog to protect your garden.
HA! You were outsmarted by a rabbit!
All you tree hugging liberals whining about killing a rabbit can kiss my ass!!!
I love how everyone is bitching about the rabbit. To the people who are telling this guy that he should die, take a deep breath and suck it up. It's a simple misuse of a gun, it doesn't justify anything that severe.
Then again, there are tons of better ways to protect your garden than killing the culprit. Get a dog, they keep rabbits away nicely. Ever since my family got a German Shepherd, my mom's garden has been rabbit-free.
WTF is wrong with u!!!!!
its a bunny 4 crying out loud!!! it eats ur plants so u want to shoot it!!!
u so deserved that!!!
that's what you get for trying to kill innocent little wabbits
-_-
damn hicks!

5 gallons of water is about 2/3 of a cubic foot. So 15,000 gallons is 2,000 cubic feet. Most pools are about 4-5 feet of water. Let's be pessimistic and say it's 4 feet deep. That's only 4 feet by 20 feet by 25 feet.
That's not that big a pool, folks.
As for the rabbit, don't give me that animal rights nonsense. I'm sure he was shooting to kill. It's only "abuse" if he tortures the poor thing. As someone else pointed out, you don't go all nuts over mosquitos, now do ya? It was on his property, it was creating a nuisance. If he wants to shoot it, there's nothing wrong with doing that. It's not like rabbits are an endangered species. (Dogs are more effective, though...)
That said, YDI. The first thing you learn in every single firearms safety class is not to point a gun at something you don't intend to shoot. If the pool was in your line of sight, (that's "sight" not "site" folks), then your pool was going to get shot. Simple.
Besides, ANY leak in your pool was going to flood your basement. You need to figure out how you're going to prevent this from happening again when you trip while holding a screwdriver and puncture the pool again. Same result without all the fuzzy animals.
@440: jess, you need to learn to spell. Seriously. This ain't texting. You can use whole words on the Internet.

KARMA!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if many people were either; I'm also a vegetarian. Still, what I was saying is that I doubt every person who wished him disaster upon him is even enough of a hardcore vegan to justify it--although, frankly, it wouldn't justify their comments, but it would explain it.
ha your a dumbass, why are you shooting stuff with a cannon
Is this for reals? This sounds like something out of a cartoon...or a movie...
People, it's a RABBIT. Sure, killing it due to being angry is horrid, but killing it to get rid of a pest that can cause massive damage isn't. I hope a mod locks the comments because this is ridiculous
Also, al. Vegans/Vegetarians: We are OMNIVORES. Those canines are there for a reason. You can go on not eating meat, but don't berate the guy for shooting an EXTREMELY COMMON PEST!
And, btw, my family has a pet rabbit, so no, I am not being an ass. The rabbit wrecked his garden. It is a pest
OP: YDI for shooting in the direction of the pool. If you have other things that could be wrecked by shooting, try planting some plants that repel rabbits. Less property damage that way
YDI for being so white trash for even having an above-ground pool. plus you're the reason that so many more gun-related accidents occur in the US than any where else!
like #24 said.. people like you fucking disgust me. and people like #47 and #79 disgust me too.. hippies? what the fuck? you guys are ignorant and retarded, just because we are decent people who care about the lives of things other than humans.. go fuck yourself, and why would you judge other people because they love the planet and living things on it? yeah, that's really shitty of us "hippies"....i just don't know how i live with myself for being so earth friendly.
wow i thought this was an fml not peta convention. the guy just lacks all common sense and aiming abilities.
you are the one that put your house in the rabbits territory. you diserved that and a lot more misfortune to come. as a matter of fact, you deserve to be shot at and almost hit.
#445- Again, the diet of the people commenting is ENTIRELY irrelevant, as the OP was not killing for food or survival, but out of "revenge". If the man was starving and needed to kill the rabbit to eat, people would not be reacting in the same manner.
#452: I think it's kinda ignorant to say that he put his house in the rabbit's territory. He didn't choose to put it there, because he didn't BUILD it. He simply bought it, and might have not expected rabbits to hang around.
What's with all of this YDI FOR TRYING TO KILL A BUNNY.
MURDERING PIECE OF TRASH.
YOU SHOULD BE IN PRISON.
etc., etc.
i mean, yes, that wasn't the most intelligent decision, simply the "easiest."
but hardly worthy of a prison sentence.
good. next time put up a bunny fence you dick.
YDI, too bad if the rabbit ate your garden. And why do you have a 22 rifle when you obviously can't shoot?
#454 Regardless of whether the posted had the house built or bought it, they should notice their surroundings. While it's true that there are some rabbits in even cities (I've occasionally seen some around here over the years and there's not much here to eat), they are usually in much more obvious places. I'm not a country girl but I can still spot areas where rabbits would be more prevalent. It's just common sense.
all you idiots need to calm down it is a vermin over half of you on this site would kill an animal for sport but not an animal that is destroying your shit and the OP was prob hungry because that rabbit ate his food. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST BABBY
If you were THAT mad, you could have just used poison. Or, like everyone else said, put up a fence. Either way, YDI, and I'm glad your pool broke.
#459 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:30pm by star_ver
YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI
#457: True, but if this guy can shoot at a small animal that's standing right next to his pool, you never know what other common knowledge he lacks.
#458: Okay no, you're not getting your argument across very well.
YDI for having Piss-Poor Aim.
#462 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:35pm by QJD
#458- False. I guarantee you far fewer than half of the people opposed to the killing of the rabbit would kill an animal for sport, much less a mammal. And you are a complete moron for suggesting that the garden was the OP's only source for food, when it is clearly stated that he did not kill it for food in the first place. If survival of the fittest were indeed guaranteed, I promise you, you would be dead by now. Babby.
you deserve it, asshole. ha.
YDI times infinity... the bunny deserves to live. And if you were STUPID enough to shoot at your pool...
Plus there are seasons for hunting and rabbits need to eat too.. humans take land and expect animals to obey our property laws.
Jerk.
#465 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:45pm by love15
Someone should take your gun away from you before you do something stupider with it.
Are you Elmer Fudd?
#468 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:58pm by twistoffate89
Oh, so you mean you've been living for a few years on land that wild animals have lived on for millions of years but they're in the wrong for thinking they have a right to some of its resources and should probably be killed. K. Just clearing that up.
YAY FOR SHOOTING BUNNIES!!!!!! :D
YDI for:
1: Trying to kill an innocent animal.
2: Having a gun in the first place.
3: Having a gun & not even being able to aim it.
Get rid of the gun!
#238 Word. i'm a vegetarian too and was also going to call out that the vast majority of these people probably eat meat.
it's awesome that you don't want to hurt animals, but it doesn't mean anything if all you do is yell at others for it then make no sacrifices yourself (ie. forgoing meat)
people need to realize that the way animals die for your food everyday is much worse than what this guy did.
I call bullshit... I really don't think it would still be standing there after two minutes it takes to get your rifle out.
haaaahhh. karma works wonders on this selfish society. ;)
Wow, jerkoff, why would you even try to kill a bunny? YDI x 1 million, and maybe your basement being flooded will teach you not to shoot at poor innocent little animals that are just trying to get whatever food they can... it doesn't know any better... poor thing!! Smaller animals are more prone to heart attacks, so you could have almost killed it anyway, even though you thankfully missed with the bullet. You are a jerk. There is enough garden for everyone, what's it going to kill you to share with a rabbit?
My advice: take some fucking anger management classes. You obviously need them if you want "revenge" on a rabbit that ate some of your vegetables, and you want this "revenge" so badly that you are willing to shoot it with a 22 rifle... Goddamn!!
you're right, you should have shot that defenseless hungry bunny for munching on your garden.
it doesn't fucking know any better! if you were a hungry animal you would eat what you could find!
YOU DESERVED IT.
heartless bastard.
HA! You got what you deserved, man. 100% what you deserve. They're just plants, and it's just an innocent animal trying to get by. Geez. I'm glad your pool got shot up.
First off fuck all the queers who are complaining about shooting at a poor innocent bunny blah blah blah. Fags. Second, Its like the first rule of shooting, always know you're target AND what's BEHIND it. You, my friend deserved it, but not for shooting at a rabbit, i would have done the same. And then stewed him up to replace my lost plants. No, YDI for being an idiot. Oh yea and once again the people complaining about shooting animals are pussies. That is all.
city slickers are pussies
@ #478:
So, you are homophobic and a douchebag?
We need gun control for idiots like the original poster and Mr. "Anyone who doesn't like to kill stuff for fun is gay and gay is bad because it makes you a fairy and being a fairy means you're not tough which means you're not a man."
Fuck off asshole. Go take your gun and shoot your balls off. YDI.
You sooo deserved that one. You're mean.
@472:
Look, I think it's great that you and others are vegetarians. I completely support your ideas and message. But please do not try to force your views on others. We choose to eat meat just as you choose not to; it is our choice, and we do not deserve to be criticized for it.
In an ideal world, I would love to be a vegetarian. But I don't have the willpower. I'm sure many feel the same.
I'll get you fo' dis, wabbit!
Good job, ya tool bag.

#438:
With pleasure. You asshole, greedy, arrogant, conservative fucks can keep destroying the world too.
As someone said after the Plaxico Burress scandal:
"What you done that you need a gun to protect yourself?"
Guns should be forbidden, except in the military. And even there, we shouldn't just go bomb the shit out of other places when we have conflicts. Anyone ever heard of diplomacy and negotiations?
YDI for being a FUCKING ASSHOLE
All you "bunny huggers" are pathetic. You are all the kind of people that are stupid enough to jerk the wheel when a rabbit runs out in front of your car to save the rabbits life while putting your life and your passengers lives in danger. It is a rabbit people. Rabbits are ANIMALS not people. Most of you made these comments while feeding your liberal mouths with a hamburger. Where do you think that hamburger came from? Thats right, an "innocent" cow. Most of your arguments are, "it was hungry". Where the hell was the rabbit eating BEFORE the garden. This persons garden wasnt the only food supply for that stupid rabbit so if this person wanted to protect HIS garden from an ANIMAL then he has the right. By the way, this person should have used a .223 caliber with a hollow point bullet. That way if the rabbit is hit it will EXPLODE into little pieces. Pretty entertaining. Most of you people probably never even shot a gun let alone hunt an ANIMAL so you have NO idea what it is like. Oh yeah, a dying rabbit kinda sounds like a crying baby. Think about that tonight when you try to go to sleep, liberals! HAHA!

Lologirl, scan your comment for irony before posting. Thanks!
well that sucks for you. YDI for shooting at a wild rabbit. rabbits need to eat too! >:( im glad you missed.
you are an asshole, straight up. YDI big time. this is karma's way of bitch slapping you.
you sound like my next door neighbor that shot our other neighbor's dogs because they were "digging up his yard".
fucking disgusting people with no sympathy for life.
sick.
seriously, the rabbit was EATING. how the fuck was it supposed to know it was your precious little garden? it's an ANIMAL, it felt the need to eat so it did! how can you want to kill it for TRYING TO LIVE!? stupid fucking dumbass. YDI YDI YDI.
#489: ANIMALS ARE LIVING CREATURES TOO. why dont they deserve to live as much as we do? for all i know humans destroyed their natural habitats, which leads them to eat from our gardens and cross the roads. and he missed so that probably would have destroyed his house if he used a .223. you know what...i hope you're reborn as a rabbit when you die. i also hope a hunter shoots you with a .223 so you EXPLODE into little pieces. you have NO idea what it feels like to be shot i bet, so stfu rightwing foo!
#489 you're completely fucking stupid, how was the rabbit supposed to know the difference between the garden and any other source of food? caring about living creatures doesn't make you "liberal", it makes you a decent human being. you sound like a fucking sicko. who gets joy out of blowing up animals? we eat animals because that's how the fucking food chain works. its the same way in the wild. the lions eat the antelopes who eat the grass. you know, that shit. we eat animals because we need the protein, etc. that is completely different from blowing up a rabbit just because it wandered into your garden and ate some of your plants.
seriously the OP sounds like the guy that lives next door to me that shot our other neighbor's dogs because they were "digging up his yard". fucking sick! i don't care that most animals are of lesser intelligence than humans, they are still living creatures. if you've ever owned a pet you know that animals can feel, and think,and make connections and patterns (i.e., training, etc).
YDI, OP. you're an asshole.

Mwahaha, fail!
You lose.
And You Deserve It.
I'm glad you ruined your [most likely] really expensive pool AND flooded your basement.
Fortuantely, you have terrible aim.
thats what you get for shooting at an innocent bunny and having a crappy aim.
thats wat u get for shootin at rabbit.
rabbit smart. rabbit hates u.
you deserve it, you goddamn redneck.
also, "the bullet" didn't miss anything, YOU're just a shit shot.
asswipe, leave the hungry rabbit alone.
maybe someone should shoot you instead.
YDI because:
1. wtf, "the bullet" missed? get better aim, idiot.
2. come on, SHOOTING the rabbit? if you had to kill it, couldn't you have done it in a less bloody more humane way?
3. honestly, u didn't stop to think "wait a second, my pool, i have crappy aim..."
4. just cuz u GOT an above-ground pool. don't you know how much those SUCK??
5. u should have at least TRIED to see if a fence would work, before shooting at the rabbit.
6. you wanted "revenge" on the rabbit. thats just... stupid and ridiculous...
now the next time you pick up a gun, you be careful, little boy, okay?
Why are conservatives so determined ignore the legitimate arguments of those who believe differently than they do, without offering the slightest reason or logic for doing so? You realize that you are sabotaging your own party by defining it as one so desperate to be right that they would sacrifice reason and good judgment just to be able to make some derogatory "hippy liberals" statement? Oh, wait. Bush already did that. You're just following suit.
Face it. This issue has nothing to do with who is liberal and who is not. It has to do with the fact that this guy is a moron who unnecessarily solved his problem with a gun and then faced the consequences.
i rlly dunno what to think, i mean #489 is kind of right to say that >->' buh u shouldnt have tried to shoot it just because it was eating ur garden plants O-o;; its not ur only source of food. if we didnt end up the way we r 2day, we would b juhs like that rabbit so fuck of with the "rabbits are just ANIMALS" crap -_-"
gayass -_-"
You fucking billy ass piece of shit. YDI.
You most definitely deserved that, sicko. Why the fuck would you shoot a rabbit? You are mentally disturbed.
#505 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:27pm by HillaryK
Asshole, don't go around killing bunnies!
#506 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:33pm by oh_haaybby
why would you do that! YDI.
you bastard you dont shoot a bunny they're to cute.

#2: GO AWAY P.E.T.A.
im pretty sure using a 22 on residential property is illegal...
YDI for puncturing your pool not trying to kill the rabbit
YDI for shooting at your pool. All aboard the FAILboat! :-D
speaking for my two pet bunnies and myself, YDI YDI YDI.
good! your basement deserves to be flooded.
dont hurt bunnies!
Fuck you! you bitch dont hurt animals you should die!
i hate your guts you cruel bitch
i have a bunny and if you killed it i would kik your stupid assS!!!!!
YDI! What cold hearted person would SHOOT A BUNNY! Karma. Rabbits are so innocent. YDI!
dont go PETA on him at least he didnt set traps that couldve kille the rabbit slowly and painfully
Elmer reborn, you get a gold star.
this is why stupid people shouldn't have guns
Did you manage to clean everything up? or was it mold city?
So much anger! Come on it is one rabbit! It started nice, but then it turned in to a political war. To 263, I enjoy blowing stuff up!
This is the biggest YDI ever
i highly doubt everyone who said "you shouldn't kill rabits" is a vegitarian. (to the people wo say this is irrelevant, it is totally relevant as you complain about him killing an animal, only because he does it himself, whilst you get other people to kill, and prepare it.)
whoever said "would you shoot a cat" that is a complete straw man argument, rats are kept as pets, and are considered vermin. most people would shoot (well, kill in some form) a rat if it was going around eating your stuff.
but you should just get a fence, or guard for your platns.
and you should have waited 'till it's not nerar something breakable... or leakable.
i loled at #505 and most other ridiculous people insulting him
Bullshit. A .22 rifle is going to "pop a hole" in your pool.
Idiot.
don't u know it duck season?! Come on doc, get it right!
#525 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:28pm by mylifeisfuckeddd
let's see what happens if go to pick some vegetables in a field with cows, let's see if they pull out a rifle and shoot you...
#526 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:31pm by mylifeisfuckeddd
GTFO. Maybe you should have fenced your garden. You completely deserve it, I hope you were at least planning on eating it.
you're a dumbass.
#528 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:34pm by noreallyitstrue
im glad that happend to you.
YDI for being a dumb ass animal abuser.
#529 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:38pm by woahhx
you deserved that entirely. lets shoot a rabbit for following its natural instinct, i hope you get lead poisoning from that bullet.
that's what you get for being a shitty marksman :P
Have you ever heard of this great thing called a fence? it would have saved you a lot of time and money, and you wouldn't have to shoot at an innocent animal for trying to survive. YDI.
First off OP wasn’t shooting the rabbit because it was “eating”, he shooting at it because it was eating HIS GARDEN, ON HIS PROPERTY. The rabbit had it coming, it’s obviously been eating away at OP garden numerous times and it was the last straw.
2. You retards act as if the rabbit’s only food source is OP’s garden, do you think the rabbit going to starve to death if it doesn’t have OP’s garden in its stomach? WTF did the rabbit eat before OP’s garden then. How do you know OP wasn’t living off his “useless” garden, and is now not starving to death just like the rabbit.
3. STFU about “innocent animals”, OP shouldn’t kill it because it’s an innocent animal? You people are such hypocrites, how many so-called innocent animals do you kill everyday for your food, cloths, entertainment, shelter and just for sheer convenience. ALL animals are innocent you idiots, so why make a big deal over this one? O yah that’s right i forgot it’s because it’s a fuzzy wuzzy, cute and cuddly, furry wurry innocent little bunny, just like the ones you find at the pet store right. Just because it has no fangs and claws and shows no sign of danger in any way to us as humans, it must mean it has more of a right than other animals not to be shot at? Give me a fucking break ....... what OP did was far from animal abuse.
4. “OP just put up a fence”, brilliant idea everyone cause we all know wild animals are too stupid, and can’t simply dig, hop, climb, jump, leap, barrel or tunnel their way past a fence. How stupid of OP to forget that fences are animal proof. Maybe OP should go out and buy the fence we all ASSUME he doesn’t have already, or better yet he should just upgrade his fence to the rabbit blocker 4000 model, i heard that one really stops the cute innocent fuzzy bunnies from getting into your yard.
5. YDI for not tracking the rabbit down after you missed it and giving it a slow and painful death. Revenge is a dish best severed cold, with a side of slaughtered rabbit.
FYL no one should have a flooded basement over a rabbit

LOL.
wow these people are really flipping out over a rabbit. Ugh, i woulda trapped it and then gave it to my german shepherd. #72 I totally agree.
George does this mean im still gonna be able to ten the rabbits right?
I fully condone the killing of pests, but this is still a YDI since you shot in the direction of your pool.
I bet all the people screaming "OMG ANIMAL MURDERER" kill things like cockroaches and spiders on a regular basis without an ounce of remorse. The only reason they have sympathy for the rabbit is because it's "cute."
#536 SO TRUE. couldn't have said it any better.
either way... this is pretty redneck lol
ydi
YDI for missing, and you should have just used a pellet gun so it wouldn't kill it.
#536 i agree, and u are hopelessly fucktarded for getting that shot even close to ur pool
ummm wow.. not the smartest person in the world. Good job, stupid.
A rabbit eats your plants. (which is what rabbits do by the way) and so you try to kill it? What's the matter with you? YDI.
By the way, I've never seen more comments on an FML before. Damn.
My god, most of you commenting on this are retards. What do you do with cockroaches, mice, rats, flies that you find inside your home? I totally agree with the OP by using a rifle to kill the rabbit, but YDI because you are an idiot for not checking your line of fire.
#547 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:05pm by Simmins
This is obviously fake. Contractors build basements below HOUSES, and pool contractors would refuse to build it, and an above-ground pool would not be over a basement.
Plus, the bullet would not be able to pierce the ground far enough, let alone the water. Mythbusters tested the bullets in water and they only went a few feet or zero before bursting into a million pieces or stopping.
YDI ANIMAL CRUELTY seriously wow he ate your carrot but why kill a creature for that!
Ok pal the bullet didn't miss, you did. So this is 100% your fault
Hey, don't aim at things you're not prepared to kill. Even inanimate objects.
I don't care a whole lot about the rabbit.. Wild animals are fair game. But wouldn't it be much easier to put up a decent fence?
wanted...
revenge...
on a rabbit...
lets just think about THAT.
YDI big time.
YDI. stop trying to kill poor defenseless animals. scumbag!
WHAAAAAA! WHAAAAA! Poor widdly bunny! WHAAAAAAA!
Cry me a river. Rabbit is a widely consumed meat. Rapidly increasing rabbit populations also cause massive amounts of ecological damage all over the world, most notably Australia. Rabbit are vermin, rabbits are food.
Your high-minded ideals are just lazy products of a stagnating, opulent society. I bet if you weren't fed your balance diet and vitamins with a silver spoon, and you had to hunt your food, you wouldn't waste your ridiculously unnatural sympathy on poor Mr Rabbit. And before you threaten someone, oh Internet Tough Guy, tell me with all honesty that you've never killed a living thing. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
Oh, and to the original poster, you deserved it for being a terrible shot. How the hell did you manage to shoot your pool? It couldn't have been more than 10m away.
I never knew there were so many hippies and nature lovers on this site.... That's so disappointing.
#53 MAD RESPECT.
YDI for missing and for trying to shoot it next to your pool. I would've shot the damn thing too.
Dude, Im all for shooting rabbits, nosy little bastards in my opinion. but seriously...learn to shoot dumbass.
YDI. Too bad you didn't shoot yourself. It's a poor defenseless rabbit, and you are a fucking asshole.
#558 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:43pm by coffeennicotine
to #489 and all the other ultra-conservative, anti-animal people, I bring you this bipartisan message from somebody way smarter than any of you. Here's the deal, laid out in painstaking detail.
Animals, as it turns out, feel pain. So shooting one induces a certain amount of suffering. Not as much as a trap, but enough for it to be inhumane. If you're ok with the fact that it causes pain, you might want to go see a therapist. Just a suggestion, but those who enjoy hurting small animals are generally sociopaths.
Secondly, not all liberals are against the use of weapons, we just don't agree with many conservatives about how they should be used. For instance, I have used a shotgun before, not very well, but I tried it. I had fun, but shooting clay pigeons. However, I'm very adept at archery, but only shoot at targets. So the point is that weapons can be fun, and also effective self-defense mechanisms for women, but should not be used to take lives. For a person to think that he or she can abuse the power we have given ourselves to make judgments and take lives is arrogant.
Now, we address the issue of the rabbit. A rabbit is unable to control its instinct. It eats where it can, and should not be persecuted for it. It would be like killing somebody for drinking the water from a decorative fountain. That sort of thing isn't allowed, but people don't die for it. If you have an issue with small animals, you probably shouldn't be living in their natural habitat. It's not their fault that you neglected to put up a fence to keep them out. you are the invader, not the rabbit. I'm sorry that I have to explain this to people.
so here's the bottom line; don't shoot a gun unless your aim is sure, do not kill because you have anger issues or feel that someone or something has done you wrong, and don't be so closed-minded.

Can someone please contact affa99 (psot #548) and tell him/her what a fucking dumbass they are. "Contractors put basements below houses" NO SHIT SHERLOCK! but guess what...WATER CAN TRAVEL THROUGH THE FUCKING GROUND! also, it doesnt matter how far a bullet can travel through water once you puncture a FUCKING HOLE IN THE POOL. My god were you seriously born without common sense or did your father just hit you on the head too many time for being an ABSOLUTE DUMBASS! How the FUCK were YOU the fastest sperm. Good lord, it makes me lose faith in all of human kind reading comments from an idiot like you. do us all a favour and NEVER SPEAK AGAIN!
(to the dude that wrote the FML, this is in no way directed at you, jsut dumbass affa99)
YDI. You deserve much worse. Wild rabbits eat food that is outside. Of course animals are going to eat people's gardens. There's no need to kill them. That is so inhumane and disgusting. I weep for the fact that you might have children, or that you might come in contact with the general public. People like you should be locked away.
You can't take out revenge on an animal.
STOPPING an animal from being a pest is fine, but KILLING it...?
Like the rabbit actually knew that there was anything different about the plants in your garden from the ones it would find someplace else. Of course it had to have some hidden agenda!
Not only are you too stupid to know that and to find one of the many other available solutions, but you're also too stupid to even know how to shoot the rifle you brag about having.
YDI, idiot. Glad it happened.
#56 some people keep cows as pets - so stop eating burgers! some people keep rats as pets - so you cant kill them if they invade your house! face it - rabbit stew is delicious. basically unless you are a vegan you have no room to talk. at least hunters give the animal a chance to escape. every burger you eat was a cow kept in captivity to be mass slaughtered...welcome to the food chain.
op - gun saftey 101 - make sure you arent shooting towards anything you dont want to hit. if you were also going to eat the rabbit - fml if you were just shooting it because thats easy - thats sad and ydi.
#558 unless youre vegan - you are a hypocritical asshole. even if you are vegan youre an asshole for expecting people to not be omnivores.
oh, and I just read a post that said to get a dog to defend your garden. Good idea. Get a medium sized one which probably won't kill the rabbit, but will effectively scare it away. Also, buy yourself a fence to put around the garden. It may not be completely effective, but it will help. I leave you with these parting words: "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" --Mohandas Gandhi. Think of forgiveness before you think of revenge.
This was the first time an FML struck me dumb. You are so idiotic it's not even funny. Maybe next time you want to "take revenge" on a rabbit, you don't start out with a rifle. Moron.
notnormal (#560)- most intelligent post in the 500+ here. But I wouldn't waste intelligence on these closed minded "conservative" sociopaths. It goes right over their heads.
You are a sorry liar. There is a absolutely NO WAY IN HELL that you could have put a hole larger than a PENCIL into one side of that pool! The bullet could not penetrate more that 4 feet into water. At MOST, water would have leaked in a steady stream. You could have stuck a pencil in the hole to stop or virtually shut off the flow of water. You sorry liar. There was enough time to have gotten a shovel and dug a freakin trench to drain the water away.
I don't know what is more pathetic... you for being a sorry liar, or the animal loving lemmings who go overboard at your post.
#556- You're seriously using "nature-lover" as an insult? I'm sorry.... what?
"the VC... varmint cong!"
Your trailer has a basement? It must be a new deluxe trailer.
Omgosh why the hell would you shoot at a rabbit? asshole.
#571 - On 05/28/2009 at 12:22am by crazieeli
Hey you idiots, I'm a HUGE animal lover but stop shitting on people for shooting animals. Cultural diversity makes it the norm for a cushy city/suburb person to never want to hurt an animal as long as it's cute and fuzzy; you don't know his story, he could be living out in the country and that garden could be his FOOD source, not just pretty flowers. I wouldn't just keep giving up my food and hard work to one single tiny animal when I might have a family to feed.
If you have mice eating and pooping in your house, you set up mouse traps and kill them. I bet hardly any of you bother to trap and relocate them. Mouse traps can be less humane than a quick bullet, by the way.
Anyway, I still think the OP is an idiot for shooting near his pool, and is probably a dumb hick.
But that doesn't mean it's NEVER OKAY TO KILL A WILD ANIMAL OMFGZ. It's not like he's killing it for fun and mounting its head on a wall as a trophy.
WOW . i cant believe you would do that .. what kind of sick twisted person are you? are you okay? I am so happy that your pool burst and all goes bad. I hope the rabbit some how gets back at you.... you dont deserve a pool. i agree with some one who commented... you SHOULD BE LOCKED UP.
and i too feel frightened some one like you can have contact with other humans.. you disgust me.
I have no problem whatsoever with you shooting at the rabbit. All of the people commenting about "don't shoot the bunny" can kiss my ass.
#572- There are very, very few places, if any in the United States where a person would have access to internet, but not food. Neither the rabbit NOR the garden were a significant source of food. Enough with the "it was threatening his survival" shit.
hahahha it does such that your pool flooded but still, YDI big time dumby, its called A FENCE.
shit, put an electric fence around your precious lilacs or tomatoes or what have you. Shooting a little bunny is dumb as hell, there will be more bunnies unless you put a fence around your garden.
cockroaches, other bugs, mice, etc. are pests and it's ok to kill them.
rabbits are pests as well, but it's not ok?
hypocritcal douchebags.
#575: actually we don't know for sure. some people actually do need to have their own gardens because something in the store stuff is bad for them. so they are required to grow their own food. therefore, stfu, ok?
#10 It does sound like a Tom and Jerry episode lol
Uh, #547, I don't kill those animals/insects either. And I'm pretty sure the other sane people who are commenting against this FML do the same. So shut up, you're the retard!
The way your phrased this post makes me feel like you deserve it. It sounded downright vindictive. You wanted "revenge" on the bunny? You do realize that there are probably more bunnies that will eat your plants? Killing one is likely not going to fix the problem. The bunny that ate your plants might not have even been the one that showed up later at your pool. And seriously... you should be more careful when you're using a gun.
#580 - On 05/28/2009 at 1:28am by synchroskater
You people disgust me. Bagging on the guy for wanting to kill a pest rabbit? There are too many rabbits as it is. They are pests just like bugs, and if you have ever killed a bug you are a hypocrite.
FYL bro.
Whats wrong with killing rabbit? or any animals that are a being pests. The OP deserves it for missing the rabbit and flooding thier basement. they shouldve been a better shot and killed it rightaway.
You're immature enough to want revenge on a rabbit because it ate your plants...and yet you're old enough to purchase a firearm. Do the world a favor and please aim at the pool next time; with any luck, you'll miss again and shoot yourself in the forehead.
i hope someday i get the opportunity to shoot you
lol. so many comments and over 60,000 " you deserved that". i don't think i have seen that many.
#586 - On 05/28/2009 at 2:01am by lifeisfuckedup
Look, it's fine to shoot the rabbit. I'm not going to harass you about animal rights, because animals are not humans, and you have a good reason to want to shoot the rabbit, if it's messing up your gardens.
But really, are you blind? Why the hell did you shoot a gun next to your above-ground swimming pool? Are you from Texas?
Shoulda put in the traps, rabbits look much better smashed in half :) YDI for stupidity
YDI son of a bitch. Could have been much more humane about it. Glad your basement is flooded.
Way to fuck up shooting. Really. Way to go.
But seriously everyone here needs to shut the fuck up about "animal abuse." It's a fucking dumbass rabbit. Plug that shit with lead, watch it explode, and eat some good ol' rabbit stew for dinner. With vegetables.
Christ almighty.
haha no one has mentioned that one shot into the pool more then likely would not send 150,000 gallons of water rushing into your house and flooding the basement. i would think you could patch it up enough to not let the water into your house.
YDI.
That poor rabbit. I hope he/she's okay!
#593 - On 05/28/2009 at 3:39am by itsnotmuch
YDI not just for trying to kill the rabbit, but for using a gun so recklessly.
ydi for having a horrible shot. you could seriously hurt someone with that if you can;t aim properly.
What a bunch of hypocrites commenting there.
Anybody who eats meat and says that he is stupid/inhumane/hick/redneck/ignorant for shooting/killing an animal is a the biggest hypocrite ever. Where do you think the meat you eat comes from? Do they just grow it in the store and it jumps into the package? And no animals were harmed?
Do you kill rats/cockroaches/flies/bees/whatever? Why? Aren't they cute like rabbits? Should rabbits be spared because they're cute or because they're animals? And if they shouldn't be killed because they're animals, then do you ever kill any other animals? Insects have can feel too. And do you eat meat? Yes? Wasn't the cow/pig/chicken cute enough or is it ok just because you didn't have to see it die?
I'd want to write to all the people saying that we shouldn't kill animals because we're living in their area (they were first), but the amount of stupidness in this thread is so high that I can't really find any words.
I hope these people never watch any nature documents, they'd probably be calling to African countries telling that they need to get rid of all the predators because they hurt innocent animals.
#596 - On 05/28/2009 at 4:50am by Asdas
You deserve that! ASS!
Shooting bunnies! WTF!! JERK!!
ROFL! @ the number of comments & YDI's you got. YDI!
I don't care if you tried to "kill an innocent animal" (lol), but you deserve it for shooting at and missing near an expensive property.
What 599 said. "How dare you shoot at an innocent wittle bunny wabbit!!" That's a bunch of bull. Though you probably could have just put up a fence instead of deciding to shoot at it.
Regardless, you definitely deserve it for shooting at it near expensive property, or for simply not having a sure shot.
Agree with #443. A 27' circular pool with 48" walls, filled to within 6" of the top, would hold about 15,000 gallons of water. Cost of such a pool is about $2,600.
That said, definitely YDI. But don't think of it as a flooded basement, think of it as an indoor pool ...
You sir, are a dumbass.
#602 - On 05/28/2009 at 8:07am by Yyz
Has anyone else seen the size/weight of a .22? It's pretty nasty.
Good thing you missed the rabbit, asshole
You missed? Was it 100 yards away? You lose.
Also .22s are tiny and designed for killing minuscule animals and being lightweight, not being "nasty".
wtf here in Australia the more rabbits u shoot the better but yeah why would u aim at something in front of ur pool?
What the hell? That's what rabbits DO. They eat up your plants if you don't put up fences around it. They are hungry, and they see food. Why the fuck're you gonna kill a rabbit for doing its natural instincts? Dipshit.
i feel for you dude. But seriously, shooting towards to your pool was pretty fucking stupid.
To all the people screaming murder for trying to kill the rabbit: FUCK YOU!!!
#606, what about rapists? why someone jail them for just natural instincts?
you know you're a hick when...
You're a horrible, horrible person!
YDI, actually you deserve accidentally shooting yourself in the foot.
hope your bunny got off OK and hope the damage in your basement is expensive.
I think you need some help. You should look into that.
Seriously... "the bullet missed"? YOU missed. Good thing, too. Harmless bunny got away alive, and you got what you deserve. Too bad the bullet didn't "miss" farther and lodge itself in your foot. But this will suffice.
#612 - On 05/28/2009 at 12:09pm by jmarie
PETA would not be happy. i guess you could call it karma!
you deserved that.
#613 - On 05/28/2009 at 12:31pm by amanda0
I don't blame you for wanting to kill the rabbit.
I DO blame you for not seeing that one coming. A, you know, animal trap, like the ones that are sold at your local Wallmart, would probably have done the job with considerably less collateral damage. Plus, you wouldn't have had to wait around for the little bugger; just find him in the cage in the morning, drive out into the woods, and let him go/shoot him.
YDI for trying to kill an adorable bunny, dickface
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My redneck grandpa does shit like that up in the backwoods from his kitchen window in his underwear! Just a glimpse into your future you f*ucktard! Poor bunny. What a dick lol
Op, YDI. Granola eaters, thanks for making one of my favorite websites into a political pissing contest.
Yes the op is an idiot who gives a bad name to gun owners everywhere. One of the first things you learn in a gun safety program is to always be aware of what is in front of and behind your target. For forgetting that he should be beaten with a frozen tuna in Times Square.
But come on people do you really think shooting a rabbit is so terrible? You do realize where your hamburgers and chicken nuggets come from right? Even you vegans who won't eat anything that casts a shadow still drive on roads that disrupt natural migratory patterns. You hand out flyers on paper made from the natural habitats of what you want to protect. You are an animal. An evolved form of omniverous primate with a particularly violent side. You have incisors that are specifically designed to grip, rip, and tear flesh. You don't negate these biological facts by choosing to eat soy and donating to the WWF. Stop pretending your lifestyle is on some pedestal.
I eat meat, I hunt, and I don't have any fantasies about how wonderful a person my diet makes me.

hippies get fuct.
id have done the same thing.
but i wouldnt have missed ;]
oh and 56 your a fucking idiot
OMFG WABBITS ARE P3TTSSZZ!!
not in my damn house.
some people have pet mice and rats too, or spiders and snakes. doesnt mean that ALL rabbits or spiders or any animal for that matter is a pet.
so shut the fuck up and go to some protest.
the 65455 people who voted YDI are all dumbasses.
Dear hypocrites;
For all you guys saying "boo hooo, you tried to kill a rabbit that's so wrong..." shut up. Why? Because I am sure that any of you who saw a spider walking on your wall or a little fly buzzing around would kill it without second thoughts. The only reason you feel bad is because they're relatively big and "cute" animals.
I myself have been annoyed since this morning and unable to sleep because a fly kept buzzing around and hitting itself against the window. Most of you would have killed it on the spot. I for one try to respect animals' right to live, so I let it go on its way. Yes, I'm a bit of a loony perhaps for being nice to small animals/insects. But still, at least I'm fair and don't take "cuteness" or size into account. I only kill based on harm. Example: I leave ants alone unless they start invading my food stock (or begin to grow far too large in number in my house). I do feel kind of bad for blowing an ant off my laptop and letting it fall to the ground, a 4 foot drop).
But... that's just me. And regarding the rabbit, in this instance, I suppose there was an instance of harm; in that it was going to destroy his garden. So if he took care of it humanely and made sure to kill it instead of maiming it, I suppose it works.

i think we should all get together on different sides. the tree huggers and the realists(or dumb hicks as you call us) and brawl. i bet us "hicks" would kill every one of you pussies
Heh, I'd have done the same thing. Just not without a huge thing of water behind it.
LOL @ the "OMG CUTE RODENT" morons.
Haha, everyone bitching about him trying to kill a rabbit, let me ask, where do you think your burgers come from? o_0 See I have a right to bitch, don't eat meat, don't kill bugs, don't kills rabbits, don't kill anything. Always found it too personal..lil weird I suppose.
Wow... from the number of YDI I see, there are considerably more stupid people on the planet than I thought.
Rabbits are pests and rodents. Just because they have cute whiskers doesn't change that. Use brains people, not fluffy stupid OMGSOCUTE feelings.
all i have to say is YDI for trying to shoot something RIGHT NEXT TO THE POOl. esp an adorable little bunny.
u sick hick! u desreve that what else is the poor bunny gonna eat? that was a amajor overreaction.
OMG IT'S CUTE SO IT SHOULDN'T DIE.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
wow 619... you're just the perfect kind of person...
GET A LIFE
Face it, rabbits are shit animals. They're unfriendly, they eat people's plants, and they have no character: they just quiver whenever people get near. Cats, dogs, even snakes all have some merit, but rabbits are useless. Secondly, I call bullshit, and even if it's true, YDI for being unable to stem the flow from a .22 sized hole before 15,000 gallons flowed out.
i would have done the same thing. i live out on a ranch where there is literally millions of bunnies who eat my mothers plants, and there is PLENTY of food around here to eat.
they are not going to go extinct. what the hell is wrong with people?
I'm glad your basement flooded! Who cares if it ate your plants, that's what rabbits do; eat plants!
However, I'm sure it makes you feel really manly to shoot a small, furry and defenceless animal with a gun.
YDI for being a douche and trying to kill a bunny. WTG elmer fudd.
by the way? karma anyone? trying to kill a bunny that didn't do anything to you = popping a pool woohoo!
HAHAHA
FAIL.
I'd like to be there.
And for all you commenters talking about animal abuse: There are plenty of rabits in the world. They get eaten all the time. You sheltered city-slikaz
"ohh ohhh ohhh poor bunny! u sicko! douchebag! oh oh oh oh"
" =,( "
That was very hillbilly of you.
YDI, you freely use firearms in your backyard? Unless you live on a ranch, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Even if you DO live in the country, if that's your attitude towards guns, you shouldn't have the right to use them. People like you scare me.
Hey guys, he's just trying to get his harvests up. Bunnies are practically overpopulated, so I don't see the problem in him shooting a rabbit who's been chomppin' his carrots. It'd probably get killed by a hawk or something anyways.
Would YOU like to be shot at for trying to survive? How is the animal supposed to know that the gardeen was yours?
come on.. how retarded can you be?!
lmfao...dnt wrry man i'm gunna defend u....its a freakin rabbit!! take it easy, the world will still go on without one more rabbit. plus they r pretty tasty (:
tht sucks and is hillarious about ur pool
You know what would have been really cool and I could still say YDI? If the bullet had somehow rebounced and popped a hole in your crotch. :)
1. ydi- but only because you need a refresher gun-safety course. the bullet of a small caliber firearm like that travels much farther than you'd expect. a .22 caliber rifle has a ballistic range of 1.5 miles! what if you had hit one of your neighbors?
2. humane traps and pest deterrents can be quite pricey. i'm assuming (i know you should never assume anything...) that the OP doesn't have a ton of money (based on him having an above ground pool). in this case, killing the pesky rabbit would have been a cheaper, easier, and a more permanent solution to the problem.
3. despite having a couple of cute rabbits at home as pets, i have no problem with getting rid of the wild rabbits in my yard that keep finding ways around (actually under) the fence around my garden. some areas are seriously overpopulated with rabbits and their numbers need to be controlled. (except i use traps and my air rifle, not a .22)
4. as a doctor, i learned in medical school that rabbits are a natural reservoir for a highly virulent bacteria called francisella tularensis. they cause the disease tularemia, which can be quite dangerous. while the incidence of this disease is actually pretty rare, it is very dangerous and potentially fatal. why increase the chance of contracting tularemia by letting these pests live and breed in my yard?
5. maybe my view is skewed because of my career, but i value the life of a fellow human being over that of a rabbit. to those of you who wished bodily harm to the OP and said he needs therapy... no, it is you sir/madam who needs help. (insert joke about veterinarians being doctors who couldn't make it through med school here)
6. i agree that reckless gun use and randomly killing things is wrong. but if you're not willing to use guns to protect yourself or your property, how are you going to survive the inevitable zombie apocalypse? ;-)
"A gun is not a weapon, Marge, it's a tool. Like a butcher knife or a harpoon, or, uh... or an alligator. You just need more education on the subject. Tell you what - you come with me to an NRA meeting, and if you still don't think guns are great, we'll argue some more." -Homer Simpson

You. Unspeakable. Idiot. The FIRST!!!!! rule of gun safety is watching your background! You stupid jackass, YDI in the biggest way for being an unsafe, reckless gun owner who gives the rest of us a bad name. People like you are the reason liberals are able to get away with trampling our rights. Are you related to Dick Cheney?
that's what you get and deserve you stupid bastard! it was a rabbit! you're gonna let a rabbit piss you off? that's pathetic. and SHOOTING the poor thing is just fucking mean! >:O
You're a douche. People move in and take over the bunny's land. Then the hungry bunny finds some food and you aren't willing to share with a poor hungry bunny so you try to shoot it?
I wish the bullet had ricocheted and hit you.
It's all been said. A-fuckin'-men, #71, #52, #88, #96, #105, #113, #117, #123, #150, #164, #249, #274, #337, #351, #406, #554.
It's kind of funny to see readers attracted to a site based on schadenfreude who can't stomach the thought of a dying bunny.
I'm not an American, and I'm just as prone to the stereotypes as the next guy, but presuming the OP is a Yank just because he owns a gun is totally unfair.
I enjoy the hypocrisy where some guys say "would you shoot a baby in the face?" and follow up quickly with "die in a fire, scumbag".
P.S: #humourfail to everyone who made an Elmer Fudd reference and felt clever.
That's what you get bitch! Killing animals is wrong.
If I was your neighbor I'd kill your grass and stomp all the plants in your garden.
I hope all the shit in your basement got ruined.
You murdering piece of shit.
asshole. if i ever saw you do that i would eat your fucking flowers myself
a .22? cmon man get a shotgun on that bitch! lol jk
but ive found .22s to be good wen it comes to shooting cute woodland creatures lol. wont kill anything bigger than like a beaver. but how close were u wen u missed? cuz i may be inexperienced wen it comes to hunting, but i could probably hit a rabbita at least 10 ft away. and i dont even own a gun. do u hunt?
YDI not only for trying to shoot a rabbit, but because the bullet could have easily missed the rabbit and hit one of your neighbors.
why do you think you have so many comments...
F U U ASSHOLE
Put up a fence to shield your plants instead of trying to kill innocent creatures that clearly outsmart you, dumbass.
All self-righteous animal-rights hippies are a bunch of shit-chucking morons. The rabbit was eating in the OP's garden, which he spent time working on. Do you really think that that was not a good reason to shoot it?
Humans > other animals.
seriously dude, u were planning on shooting a poor, innocent animal just because it nibbled on a couple of ur plants? I hope u don't live in an area infested w/ caterpillars or anythin, u'd be hated for disturbing everyone. The poor thing didn't know it was doin anythin wrong and ur damn plants can grow back, the rabbit can't grow another live, god damnit!
and P.S, #655, you really don't think that, do u? or are you completely incapable of feeling any kind of human emotion?
All I can say is you must be a terrible shot...Bullets dont miss, you do!...I hit bottle caps in the side of haystacks at 200yards, and you couldnt make it across your YARD?!? ...Your obviously not from Kansas. YDI
Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.
That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on.
Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide, it's a killer!
He's got huge, sharp-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!
you should of used the holy hand grenade
U MURDERER!!! and u are a bad shooter
you must be retarded or something.
#659 how is he a murderer he missed
YDI for missing. But I will say that IT'S NOT A BULLET IF ANYTHING ITS A PELLET! Artard..
#656, I don't see you preaching to people about how children in Africa or runaways in North Korea are starving. How could you have the nerve to say that this man was at fault SIMPLY BECAUSE he tried to shoot a cute wittle bunny wabbit. To think that rabbits are more important than your fellow human beings is just stupid. We don't live in a world free of war yet, so you PETA fascists don't have any spare time to logically be concerned with animals yet.
#663, Unless you know #656 personally, how do you know whether or not they care about starving children in other countries? I mean, i wouldn't expect them to preach about it on someone's fml about trying to kill a rabbit and shooting their pool instead. That would just be off topic.
So don't bash them just because they defended an animal. They may care just as much or even more about starving kids.
Everyone has something their passionate about, some people its animals. Others may be helping people in other countries who are less fortunate. But animal cruelity isn't something so minor that it should go unnoticed. It should not be ignored and neither should the other problems in our world (which are most caused by other HUMANS).
So take your closed minded, ignorant comments somewhere else.
Because you're blowing this way out of proportion.
I find it a little funny nearly everyone gets on the OP for shooting at the rabbit period and not so much that they missed and shot their own pool.
lol @ #658
Thank you, Tim the Enchanter. Remember to beware of his nasty, big, pointy teeth!
YDI for three things:
1. Shooting at it when it was in front of your pool
2. Missing (Seriously, did it duck or something or are you just a bad shot?)
3. Expecting sympathy from the Internet
FYL because the rabbit ruined your garden. Some people here don't quite realise how much work goes in to making a nice garden, the plant seeds, the timing, the hard work and effort. I'm sure they understand that a tree can take 100 years to grow, 5 minutes to cut down. If you scaled that down a bit, you'd get a good measure of the effort required to plant a garden, and another good measure for how long it takes one small animal to ruin it
I like how everyone bitching about the rabbit that didn't even get shot probably still eats meat and thinks that's completely different. So do I, furthermore.
Where do you live that you have a 22 handy at a moment's notice? It's like this one show I saw on Investigation Discovery about hauntings. There was this couple who lived in a house they thought was haunted. One night, the wife and her friend are home alone when they heard a noise upstairs, and out of nowhere they pulled out shotguns from a bin where you would keep umbrellas.
A lot of people keep guns in their houses, it's a right given to us by the Bill of Rights, and a lot of people go hunting anyway.
Dude... next time you eat food, I'm going to come shoot you for ruining my garden. >=|
Ever heard of the phrase "multiplies like rabbits"? They're everywhere. It's not his fault you guys are left wing nuts. I would suggest working on your aim, Jerrrr. I'm sorry your pool is busted.
boy is your aim terrible.....
what can i say, it's funny as hell
Poor little bunny! D: YDI!
YDI dummy. Don't shoot near your pool.
Put your garden into a huge wire cage, with a couple inches underground.
And please ditch the gun with your aweful aim.
you stupid fuck.
1. you don't shoot an animal just because it was hungry
2. 15,000 gallons of water is a LOT of water, be conservative
3. YDI
you dumb douche.
go fuck yourself.
it's a friggen wild animal what do you expect it to do?!
asswipe.
Tch, that's what you get for trying to kill an animal that is just trying to survive.
First off, by definition, that bunny is far from innocent. It was eating this guys food, therefore it is not innocent. Bunnies can be major pests in a lot of places just like rats and mice and roaches. And since this rabbit specifically terrorized his garden, the op had every right to shoot it. As for all of the "you are a terrible person for shooting a rabbit boo hoo hoo etc" bullshit, you folks need to learn a few things about caring for a garden with food in it. Yeah the op should have put a fence up, but not at the moment when he decided to shoot it. That would make no sense.
But, ydi for shooting at it when it was by your pool.
What is it with the retards bitching about trying to kill a raddit, how else do you keep it from coming back? Rabbits chew through fences, you retards.
YDI for having horrible aim.
These PETA retards here really need a reality check though.
Ok, first of all, the comments here are like nerds on youtube. Stop calling this person a redneck, shithead, dick, animal killer, f***er, etc. THIS PERSON DOES NOT DESERVE IT. Yeah, he/she could have chosen a better way to fix this problem. Being a vegetarian, I know this better than most. What should not be happening is all of you people judging this person. Sure, he/she had a "blonde moment", who doesn't? Is it not enough that this person had their basement flooded, undoubtedly with personal belongings inside? Are the repair costs not enough? Is the local ridicule not enough? The fact that this person is sharing this extremely embarassing story with us shows extreme humility.
Admittedly, you should not have tried to kill the rabbit, try some of the above mentioned tactics next time.
When I read all of your comments saying "Karma's a bitch, ain't it" and the like, is this ridicule not enough to lower your good karma significantly? It is much more productive, much less time-wasting, and much better for self-esteem when people provide constructive criticism rather than calling people (who they have no experience in meeting except for 50-ish or less typed words) hippies, retards, and the like.
Wishing you the best, Jerrrr!

nice job elmer fudd that wascaly wabbit made u look like a wetard
so these people think thousands of dolalrs in damages are more important than a pest rabbit..... I bet they'd think differently if it was a rat
your discusting and so are you cucuto! its not the the rabbi knew any better or any other aniamal for that matter
Bugs Bunny and Elmar Fudd. c'mon, the rabbit was hungry. i don't like to shooting small animals, but it's important in conservation. you did it for a few plants in your garden. i'm ashamed. YDI
YDI...shooting at a rabbit because your to stupid to properly fence your garden....idiot
1) Rabbits are pests that have overpopulated suburban areas and need serious population control.
2) Nobody would have gotten their panties in such a twist if rabbit had been changed to snake.
lol @ all the liberal hippy comments about e.g. "ANIMAL KILLLER! OMGZ!"
I hope every one of those commentators are vegetarians, otherwise they'd be serious hypocrites (although I wouldn't put hypocrisy past them)
OP: You are plain dumb for firing a rifle in your backyard like that
#688 --> bang on point about the snake. Double standards abound in this comments section.
257 pretty much sums up where I think you bunny lovers all come from.... NOT EVERYONE LIVES IN THE CITY!! And If you lived in the country you would understand the frustration from putting all that love, care and hard work into a garden and then having rabbits eat it before you can harvest it! Fences do not work they get through pretty much anything! people from the city do not understand the workings of the countryside and therefore should not get involved! You are only affected by this because you have decided the bunny is 'cute' but I bet you'd kill vermin in your house. Whoever said bunnies are different because they're pets, I can assure you wild rabbits are not the same as pets, they have a nasty bite for a start. It's like saying don't kill that rat that's carrying disease and eating (and urinating on) my food, it's the same as having a pet living in my cupboard! And relocating a rabbit does not work! I agree it was a bit daft shooting towards a pool and yes there are other ways of sorting this... I have a dog and two cats who between them happily keep rabbits away, but if he doesn't have an animal then this is the next best option.

#4 of Col. Jeff Cooper's Rules:

Aside from all the humane and inhumane banter, I'm sure Bill Engvall (a hunter AND redneck comedian from Winslow, AZ) would have something to say about this...
"Heeeeeere's your sign!"
Unlike the others, I don't really care that you were shooting at a rabbit. But you get a YDI for being too dumb to notice what was behind the rabbit. Good thing it wasn't a person!

you're a douche. forreal. YDI
All you bunny-lovers obviously have no knowledge whatsoever of ecology or anything at all. All you seem to know is that bunnies are cute. Well you know what? Bunnies are overpopulated. Bunnies ruin people's harvests. How on earth do you think some of these people are supposed to make an honest living while a rabbit is eating his crops?
Should he SHARE IT? Share it with "the poor little innocent sweet cute little bunny."
Nice going, tards.
I'd say the goal was right, but the execution needs work.
I never thought my experience flooding my pool would be so popular. I just wanted Revenge that was all. :(
How do u miss with a 22. Rifle? Its easy to shoot and aim. And i bet that cost a lot of money
U shouldnt even attempt to kill a harmless animal. YDI soo much. Im glad ur basement flooded just like the other couple hundred people.
I can't believe you tried to kill an innocent rabbit. Sounds like you got what you deserved.
HAHAHAHA this is why gun violence solves nothing
you more than deserve that
1. for hurting a defenseless animal who was just hungry
2. for coming on here and whining about it like we're supposed to be sorry for you
3. for shooting at something like an indoor pool [idiot]
4. for blaming the bullet and not your terrible aim.
sorry OWNED and i hope your garden gets trashed, good luck cleaning out your basement!
Sorry that happened to you but YDI for trying to shoot an innocent and hungry animal
that's what you get for trying to kill an innocent animal you evil person. I don't want to cuss cuz I'm too good for that. gth
Good I'm glad. Who the fuck just shoots at a cute little bunny?
Gee, an above ground pool, a rifle, and a desire to kill bunnies. Isn't that the definition of white/trailer trash? Get a life loser.
A 22 rife cant make more than 2 feet in water without stopping to a slow sink.
You are an inhumane piece of crap and god is making sure ur garden and pool are destroyed because you are a jerk!!!!!!!!!!
#663, I do care about poor starving kids in africa, I do care about our species, but do you not find it just a little bit crazy, evil, and inhumane to kill something that was just hungry? Hell, if I did that, well, I would probably be banned from owning any type of pet or weapon ever again. I can understand that it would be frustrating to have worked on something for a long time and have something go ruin it, but that's fucking life and it's no reason to take away another life, especially since the plants can grow back; the rabbit didn't do anything wrong. Well, nothing really is, but still. It's animal cruelty. I'd also like to point out that Human beings have no right to believe them to be above any other life form on earth, especially since we are to blame for all of the shit that's going on in the environment. I don't give a shit if you think that I am some dirty hippie. I think that you're a big-headed asshole!
PS, #664, thank you for backing me up :)
you wasted a bullet on a rabbit? wow go put that bullet to better use and shoot some criminal.
not for a bunny eating a freakin plant. what else do you want it to eat. we kill animals all the time for food. and there just doing the same.
get over it its a plant the world didnt freakin end. go plant another one and get a fence over it
ydi it for missing to.. i could of made that shot when i was 14
#710 - On 06/06/2009 at 11:14pm by angel03260
that's what you get.
a**hole.
all you people saying that they deserved it for trying to kill a defenseless animal are completely worthless. I would bet that at some point every one of you saying that has eaten meat, well guess where that came from...some "poor defenseless animal" you really need to shut the hell up. We are on the top of the food chain, you know what that means? We can kill them.
first i dont think you deserved it because you shot at a rabbit, like other people do, but i find this funny because my 17000 gallon pool got a hole about 4 foot wide and emtied in about ten seconds. the neighbors were not happy
You definitely deserved it for being so cruel and trying to shoot a defenseless animal. There is an other way to keep rabbits out of your garden. It's called a fence. Maybe you've heard of it?
Wow. I wish I was smart enough to shoot at everything when I'm inconvenienced by things. Then all my problems would be fixed
don't shoot at bunnies and you won't fuck yourself over. asshole.
Good for u! :P Bunnies are AWESOME
YDI because of aim and common sense fail. Rabbits are tasty and verminous though, no complaint there.
As horrible as the first part of your story is, I can't stop laughing. Why would someone ever feel the need to shoot a rabbit?
YDI for trying to shoot it next to the pool, but I think all these animal lovers need to understand something. One, if we didn't kill rabbits, their population would be way high, so they'd eat almost all the plants in an area. Two, if the rabbit ate his plants, it's not innocent. Would it be justified for you to eat another human, just because you were 'trying to survive'?
#722:
A) There's a high population of humans on the earth than rabbits and no one's doing anything about it
B) the rabbit didn't realize it was doing something wrong
C) Eating another human is cannibalism because we know that it's wrong, a rabbit eating a plant isn't because it doesn't know any better and the plant will grow better.
D) Humans cause waayyy more destruction than rabbits do, so let them "get back" at us, if that's what you call it
you sound like someone who REALLY shouldn't be handling a firearm.
Three words: Geometry of Fire
And wtf is with all the tree hugging? Humans have, and do, kill animals all the time. As long as you're not wasting them, what's the problem?
#723 You do understand that if the rabbits did overpopulate and eat all the plants in an area, it would pretty much kill off all life in that part of the land, including the rabbits themselves. Plants can be eaten to the root. Humans do cause destruction, true, but consider, at least some are trying to correct the damage and protect the Earth. By this, I do not mean all the individual animals. Humans are now trying to make sure that they don't hunt any more animals to extinction. Humans are trying to stop this so called 'global warming'. But rabbits don't even try. Their ruled by instinct, exactly like how you said. They don't know it's wrong. So this means, that if they ate every single planet in the world, they wouldn't know it was wrong, which is why we need to keep their population in check. Examine your logic.
Well at least you probably drown it.
people saying "YDI! you tryed to kill an innocent little bunny! are stupid, if you spent the time it took to plant a garden and a little animal started to eat it youd get pretty pissed too
that'll tech you for being a crap shot
I love everyone calling this guy an animal kill shut up and have another hamburger you fat bitch. Oh and PETA eat your heart out.
YDI because animals deserve to live just as much as humans. If you spent hours making a cake and a little kid ate it when he wasn't supposed to you wouldn't shoot him. But damn 15,000 gallon pool that's huge and I'm glad it was ruined.
you'll get that wascally wabbit next time, Elmer.
Aim /then/ shoot, not the other way around
Wow. The guy tried to kill a rabbit that was messing with his garden and everyone in here goes against the OP. For god's sakes its a f*ckin rabbit! Who the hell cares! He's not an innocent creature but a rodent that was trespassing. FYL for not being able to aim.
#726: why do you think we eat animals and not other humans?
Because KFC is good! Don't you think? Btw, have you ever eaten a rabbit? They're really good. Haven't had one for a while though...
Good for the rabit you ass.Build a fence around your plants or something,don't shoot a poor inocent rabit.Serves you right.Glad your basement is flooded;now you;ll focus on that and the rabit can eat more of your stupid plants :P
i guess it does help to be a worse shot than a 50 year old geriatric woman when you protest for gun control... damn yankees
i'm happy you destroyed your swimming pool because you are obviously a complete bastard
YDI for being an inconsiderate prick.
okay you are an idiot. but guess what, your not an idiot for shooting the rabbit, their a nussince to gardens. but you are an idiot for shooting at the rabbit near a pool
A) learn to shoot, if you can't hit a rabbit with a .22, you shouldn't be operating a weapon.
B) a .22 round is NOT that big, you're telling me you couldn't plug up a tiny little hole before all 15,000 gallons leaked out of your pool?
...unless you were an idiot and didn't check to see if you'd hit the pool after it was obvious that you hadn't hit the rabbit...
#744 - On 07/16/2009 at 10:29am by protooler31
That's what you get for shooting at a bunny. Fucking animal hater.
Animal abusing son of a bitch, I hope you learned your lesson.
15,000 gallons what do you have in your pool shamu
"That's what you get for shooting at a poor little hungry bunny! It only wanted to eat your garden! You should let cute animals do whatever they want!"
Jeez. I can think of a lot of cases where I would shoot an animal trying to eat. Like if it were trying to eat ME. Or if I actually made a living off of the garden I tended. But you guys are right, we should do whatever's more convenient for small animals.
dude, did you shoot the rabbit with a tank round? 22. is that even a caliber?
SO YOU'RE THE BUNNY KILLER. YOU KILLED THE EASTER BUNNY TOO. MY PARENTS SAID HE MOVED BUT I ALWAYS KNEW THE EASTER BUNNY WAS DEAD, HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME. I'LL GET YOU FOR KILLING THE EASTER BUNNY, IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#752 - On 08/21/2009 at 12:15am by iFruit
YDI for trying to kill a bunny!
You know there's like fences and stuff you could buy to keep the bunny away right?
Plus isn't it common sense NOT to shoot a gun by something like a pool?
WTF? You use a rifle to shoot a rabbit and missed? I bet if a bear was invading ur house you would throw a grenade at it... and miss
it was only a rabbit!
(Monty python)
You fail!! I'm sure that pool was worth a lot more than your plants. If you can't aim good you shouldn't even be using a gun anyway.
Who has an ABOVE ground swimming pool thats 15,000 gallons?
Uhh, ABOVE ground swimming pools aren't that big. Maybe an underground pool, but not an above ground.
there are soooo many problems with you. first why do you have a gun?
why would you shoot a A BUNNY?! oh yeah because he ate your plants which you could just plant some other ones and the pool , well yeah, i dont care about it. im just glad you payed for the pool which is now messed up because you're and idiot (:
you TOTALLY deserved that
it's a bunny okay!? it has no way of getting food. it can't apply for Target then shop at Safeway! it has to hop around finding food! I bet you wouldve done the same thing if you were a bunny! put a fence around your god dang garden if your really that's mad
u deserve it 4 trying to kill a bunny!!!
Dude! YDI for trying to kill a bunny for REVENGE!!! It's people like you who want to make me just choke someone! First of all, It was probably hungry. Remember! We are taking over thier homes and thier land. We are taking away thier food source as well! That rabbit that you were trying to shoot probably used to have a food source around right about where your garden is. Second of all. DO YOU READ COMIC BOOKS!?!?!?! Everyone knows that revenge never works! The bad guy always loses! So in this case YOU were the bad guy and the RABBIT was the good guy. I hope you burn in hell for trying to kill an innocent creature.
A shotgun would work better.
u know if u used a BOW it would done a lot less to no damage...
GET A LIFE #764.
Hey OP if you ever do kill this rabbit can i come over for dinner? :)
Fake. First, where do you live that it Is okay to pop off a 22. Second, you basement would be underneath 15000 gallons of water. Third, I am guessing that you have a normal pool, 5+ feet deep. A bullet, less likely a 22 would even hit the bottom. It would desintagrate within a few feet hitting the service. Finally, you suck asshole at aiming.
I agree it is a fake one.
A .22 would NOT make more than a 1/8" hole and that could be patched before the basement got flooded.
#239 is way off on the accuracy of a .22 also, I've shot squirrels in the head as far as 80 yards out.
And yes, I am a responsible NRA member with all the burdens of trying to negate the irresponsible actions of idiots like this person.
It's the same issue if a feral cat or dog were in his garden or trash probably; an animal that's gone wild or just is wild, on his property. Wild rabbits aren't delicate, shy little creatures like a pet bunny. Wild rabbits ARE mean, and they WILL hurt you if you catch one and you're not careful. While I in no way agree with his attempts to kill the animal, I understand his viewpoint. Because rabbits are touted as cute, cuddly pets, even wild rabbits fall under that. It's the same with the friendly cuddly kitty they see at the pet store versus a feral cat or even a wild smaller cat like a bobcat. A bobcat would mess you up if you threatened it. It's the same thing with a wild rabbit.
As to why the rabbit was in his garden, think about where he might be living. If he's got a really expensive pool, I'm thinking the far-suburbs in somewhere like OUTSIDE all the city in New York, where rabbits are considered a pest. So the rabbit would be complacent from nibbling gardens and maybe being fed, but this guy wouldn't be.
Although my gut reaction is to RAGE at the intent to harm a bunny, I realize that they're wild, and mean, and death is the way of the wild.
(Also, they DO scream like a dying baby, but not only when they're dying. My pet rabbit got stuck in some wire and screamed like that, but when I got him free he was just fine, expect a little shaken.)

You know what - serves you right! Put a fence around your garden or something but I don´t really see why you should be shooting innocent animals!!!!
I can't understand how you try to shoot at an animal with something that can go through a lot of water, your pool's wall, some dirt/sand whatever and then your wall. You're sick.
And yeah, I do understand that this is a fake. But still.
I'd rather let bunnies live rather then your fucking basement
Too bad it didn't ricochet off of a wall and hit you square between the eyes.
Revenge versus an animal while maybe understandable because of your obvious frustration is utterly pointless. Animals don't know right from wrong, the rabbit won't be thinking if only I didn't eat that poor guys vegetables I deserve to die. So you kind of deserve this for losing self control.
ok all of the people bitching out the OP can go to hell and if u live in america then get the hell out. this country was founded with guns and people hace hunted for food for as long as we have been on Earth.
stupid bitch ass bunnie should have died!
killing an animal isn't animal abuse.
rabits kill they are like rats they populate so fast and eat everything I just don't kill em caz I didn't grow a guarden this year.
Animals In gardens are so annoying. fyl and so what he tried to shoot a bunny? They're tasty
stupid idiot! dont take your anger out on a freaking rabbit! its their instinct to chew on stuff! YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI YDI
the bullet missed? lols for shooting your pool and super props @ 489
on a simaler note YouTube "50 cal prairy dog hunt" similar effects
Retard ok heres how it works Shotgun=DX dead bunny Rifle=either wounded bunny or some $
Why is this YDI. The rabbit was eating his plants...it's not a house pet, it's a wild animal. I'm not an endorser of animal abuse/animal torture, I mean, he could have easily captured it and brought it to an animal shelter or something, but it still could never become a pet "bunny." And this is pretty obviously a spur of the moment idea, he doesn't deserve a flooded basement for one lapsed reasonable thought.
