Today, I wanted revenge on the rabbit who ate my garden's plants. When he returned, he was standing next to my brand new above-ground swimming pool. I pull out my 22. rifle and shot at it, but the bullet missed and popped a hole in my pool. 15,000 gallons of water flooded my basement. FML

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

uhhh cute furry little bunny or not you need to get some anger management.

749- true dat.

ANIMAL ABUSE!! I'm glad your basement flooded :D

#2 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:22am by NGM_KID

That's horrible.. but

YDI for attempting to kill an innocent hungry animal.

#3 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:22am by nxkftw

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.

#4 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:23am by PotatoBlankey39

Boohoo, your garden was ruined. The rabbit was hungry. It deserves to live!
YDI for trying to kill an innocent animal!

#5 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:24am by BeautifulSin24

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.

#6 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:24am by narks

i loved the phrasing as well. i was going to comment but you beat me to it

#738 - On 07/02/2009 at 8:02pm by rofl_lol_lmao

You deserve it. There are so many more better ways to get rid of a rabbit.

#10 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:25am by tkmac

haha you deserved that. im glad you're pool is destroyed.

#11 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:25am by pink_flamingo88

wow you're messed up

1. for shooting an animal

2. for going on here to get some sympathy

#12 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:26am by christina333

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.

#13 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:28am by lithiumflower

Two words: Duck Season!

#14 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:28am by ABBenzin

I immediately thought of Elmer Fudd when I read this...

#15 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:28am by Hazimius

HAHA, sounds like something you'd see a cartoon.

Get a small fence for your garden. Is it really that hard? YDI

#16 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:28am by 24788

Exactly what I was gonna say #1
Hahaha at #15
You deserve the pool thing for trying to kill it!

#17 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:29am by Junaeffer

YDI for being stupid enough to shoot at a rabbit near your pool... #14 comment had me dying with laughter...

#18 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:29am by mlsfml

YDI for being an ass.
there were other things you could have done.

#19 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:30am by BethanyKimberly

Say, doc, are you trying to get yourself in trouble with the law? This ain't wabbit huntin' season.

#22 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:32am by nodbor

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.

#23 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:33am by Uduwudu

You totally deserved it, you sick bastard! You should be in prison. People like you disgust me.

#24 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:35am by realggirl

That's what you get for trying to kill an animal, piece of shit. YDI.

#25 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:35am by Pandarsenic

i am so glad that you destroyed your pool you attempted animal murdering freak!!! XD

#26 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:36am by yikes12345

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.

#27 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:39am by drax

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.

#30 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:48am by blablabla18

SICKO, SERVE YOU RIGHT !

#31 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:49am by jumpdancehigh

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.

#32 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:51am by MissNae

totallyy agree with you :)

#760 - On 09/15/2009 at 6:41pm by poochiix33

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.

#33 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:52am by AnnieSure

....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.

#34 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:52am by Corzi

Dangerous, stupid and just mean.

#35 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:54am by xoxlizzxox

15,000 gallons of water eh? really? that's quite the pool you've got there...

#36 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:54am by jlockhartmp

correction #36 had there...

#37 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:55am by tim0391

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!

#39 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:57am by 1known

lol 37 good catch

#40 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:58am by fkjiwefakris

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.

#41 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:59am by hurdy

your quest for a lucky rabbit's foot continues

#42 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:05am by Hazygoose

Hahahaha serves you right!

#43 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:06am by Sucks2beYouxD

How did this get through?

#44 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:07am by Tobunshi

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.

#45 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:08am by trevolution11

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.

#46 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:09am by keoct

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 >.>

#48 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:11am by Potquats

YDI. Totally.

#49 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:11am by cypher_sonic

YDI, redneck. There are better ways to get rid of animals that are a lot less dangerous.

#50 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:13am by Sanrio90

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.

#51 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:17am by zombiepeanut

lol #21!!!

OP: Ahah! You suck!

#52 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:21am by asttro_boy

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.

#53 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:21am by Darth_Taco

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.

#54 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:23am by eliz3

I almost never say ydi, but you do.

#55 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:24am by roflstephh

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?

#56 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:26am by eliz3

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.

#57 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:26am by Seriously11

the second I read "pulled out my .22 rifle" I hit YDI.
aha.
karma FTW.

#58 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:26am by FMY_FYL

You suck. I can't believe you would shoot an animal because it ATE!

#59 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:31am by kaitlynadele

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...

#61 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:40am by MeganBJ

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.

#62 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:40am by DancingMouse

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!

#63 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:42am by Ncc_Tardis

What's up, doc?

#64 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:47am by Thassodar

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.

#67 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:59am by Barthez01

nature 1 - weapons 0. this better be a lesson

#68 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:01am by AntiChrist7

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!

#69 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:05am by brkn_hearted

Bet you would try to shoot someone in a plane aswell while its in the air. YDI moron for multiple reasons.

#70 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:08am by Tehalon

lol

#71 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:11am by rightlock

._. 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.

#72 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:21am by Corzi

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.

#73 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:24am by serfis

YDI for using a gun, and for attempted animal slaughter.
If you wanted to kill it why not just slit its throat?

#74 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:26am by Vaeltier

Why the fuck did you try and shoot a bunny?
It needs to EAT. Give it other food if it bothers you, moron.

#75 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:28am by xPediophobia

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.

#76 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:28am by cia_rapp

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.

#77 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:36am by eiji_chan

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.

#78 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:37am by cia_rapp

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....

#79 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:37am by lilnurse_44

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.

#80 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:39am by IHurtMyself

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.

#81 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:40am by xxjoexx

thats what you get for shooting bunnies.

#82 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:43am by daemani

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?

#83 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:43am by Aw_Geez

#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.

#85 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:48am by nom_nom_nom

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'.

#86 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:50am by atomicmrpelly

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

#88 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:52am by jstasilentscream

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

#90 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:56am by Tangaman

you totally deserved that. seriously? WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT THAT BUNNY just because it messed up your garden. ANIMAL ABUSE

#91 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:58am by thesadpiggy

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

#93 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:03am by R3TH0R

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!?

#94 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:03am by tigitiger22

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.

#95 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:05am by boatiebanter

okay there Elmer Fud

#96 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:07am by Carla_E

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

Idiots and there guns.

#98 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:13am by UrRightFML

hahaha! you got outsmarted by a animal with a brain the size of walnut! you must truly feel shit XD

#99 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:13am by natures_mistake

You're disgusting. I hope someone shoots at you for doing something you're supposed to do.

#100 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:17am by everyonehatesyou

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

#101 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:26am by cucuto89

#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.

#102 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:27am by everyonehatesyou

goood

#103 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:31am by ellsbellsx

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.

#105 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:35am by GilPanda

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?

#106 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:38am by cucuto89

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

#108 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:40am by tWitt3rBuG

#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!

#110 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:42am by xFaust

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.

#111 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:42am by Sabbyrider12

Are you retarded?

I'm nominating you for the "Stupidest Retard of 2009".

Congratulations!

#112 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:47am by characins

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.

#113 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:48am by FMLROCKSMASOCKS

#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.

#116 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:55am by shabanana9

ouch

#117 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:56am by shalvius

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.

#118 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:00am by RockyII5

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.

#119 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:08am by littlefrog

YDI.

#120 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:09am by butter_flew

That is horrible!
You totally deserved that one. :D

you're an idiot. animals need food. wtf is wrong with you?

#123 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:13am by dearViena

#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.

#124 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:13am by musu

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.

#125 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:13am by PFCAngelo

im glad this happened to you... YDI!!!!

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.

#128 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:25am by musu

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.

#129 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:26am by supafuz

#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.

#130 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:28am by xRockerx

Hahaha! I'm so happy that happened to you!

#131 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:31am by audioscience

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 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:34am by Snerkie

#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?

#133 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:36am by musu

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.

#134 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:37am by xelectrickiss

YDI for being a bad shot...

#135 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:40am by 19avengers

#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.

#136 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:43am by RockyII5

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!

#137 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:43am by JerJer

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?

#139 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:50am by some_random_dude

10s the best

#140 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:52am by towell777

LOL aim fail and rabbit win! PS did you manage to drown the rabbit at least?

#141 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:56am by st87

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.

#142 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:59am by XScarlet

#134 pretty much covered it
LOL @ 21

#143 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:00am by lautner4eva

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.

#144 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:04am by fretforyerlatte

sorry double post

#145 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:04am by fretforyerlatte

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.

#148 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:08am by Managodess

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? >:|

#150 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:13am by blondiepants_

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.

#151 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:16am by cheesesoda

Wow, never heard of a fence?

#152 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:19am by freddie

This is what you get for trying to kill animals lol
& hahaha @ #2 ia with u.

#153 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:22am by kissesinbetween

Hahaha! YDI for shooting at poor little bunnies.

#154 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:22am by sahara89

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. >:[

#155 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:22am by Victoria2103

Should've gotten a dog. A dog would've fucked that rabbit up or at the very least scared it away from your garden.

#156 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:23am by Jaywin

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.

#157 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:25am by OtakuX

#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?

#159 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:30am by Vasir

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.

#160 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:31am by mura

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).

#161 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:32am by silvermoonstar3

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.

#162 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:36am by spongebobrocks

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

#163 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:39am by hadeskid17

Next time do us all a favor and shoot yourself in the face.

#164 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:40am by WildClown

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

fuck head. good.

#166 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:43am by alyssamarie218

Bugs Bunny strikes again!

But seriously, your aim sucks.

#167 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:47am by Darthbane2007

#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.

#168 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:47am by musu

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.

#169 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:48am by fable228

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

#170 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:48am by f150bri

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

#171 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:52am by lovell_says_hey

YDI!!

#172 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:53am by LuLu25

you deserve u idiot. don't shoot rabbits u animal abuser!!! im happpy ur pool flooded

#173 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:54am by manda518

I feel bad...for the bunny!! Poor things probably tramatized Elmer Fudd!
The pool flooding your basement..is karma at its best.

#174 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:56am by SkankinZombies

you're a horrible person. so horrible that karma didn't even wait to bite you in the ass. :)

#175 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:58am by papertigers

LMFAO #111
OP, YDI!

#176 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:58am by justdance45

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.

#177 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:03am by Windexglow

fucktard.

#178 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:06am by kitties

you're an asshole.

#179 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:08am by megelin

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?

#180 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:09am by softpinkdaisies

u suck dude.....u suck!

#181 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:09am by divesh777

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?

#182 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:11am by leero

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.

#183 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:12am by hatcher

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.

#184 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:17am by raybury

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!!

#185 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:18am by Swan

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.)

#186 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:18am by TmaraTechnologic

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 deserve it jerk

#188 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:22am by bea_bea

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."

#190 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:23am by whomajigi

YDI for trying to kill a bunny that wuz only hungry-me t time protect ur garden better.

#191 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:23am by darkmis1

#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.

#193 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:24am by jmeg

good

#194 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:29am by claiireee1

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.

#195 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:29am by aliquot52

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.

#196 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:31am by YerPal

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.

#197 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:31am by squ1rrel

And thats what you get you cruel person...I hope you had a hard time getting the water out of your basement.

#198 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:38am by LifeSux19

git 'er done! That's some redneck shit right there!

#199 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:39am by spank_u_veryhard

YDI, its a rabbit what do you expect it to do ?

#200 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:40am by pumpkincakes

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.

#201 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:41am by ObadiahtheSlim

you're a terrible person

#202 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:45am by zoesterhp

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...

#203 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:48am by mrhahn530

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.

#204 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:50am by amandacullen1901

how could you shoot a rabbit?? that's terrible! YDI

#205 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:57am by paintergirl12

Why would you want to shoot an innocent rabbit? I'm glad the bunny got away!

#206 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:08am by FMLFAN1

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.

#207 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:10am by genius_man16

rofl, you got owned.

Way to go Elmer Fudd!!!

#209 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:15am by mulva8781

now when you go out to eat i hope rabid bunnies follow you, steal your food and successfully shoot you in the leg.

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

#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.

#219 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:42am by markssh

#223 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:50am by Iwannabetreo

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?

#224 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:51am by xya943

YOUR FAULT! first rule of shooting, always know what is behind the target and understand what a shot missed means. YDI. Idiot.

#225 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:58am by TheLittlestNinja

There were probably less violent ways to deal with that.

#228 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:05am by rawrtor

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.

#229 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:05am by hohgeez

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?

#231 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:07am by NoSoupForYou

wow you deserve that you asshole. animals deserve to eat the food from a bitch

#232 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:09am by abcdefg7

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?

#233 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:09am by Ssmartasss

You shot at it while it was next to an above-ground pool? Rofl. And fail. YDI for stupidity.

#234 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:10am by hypoxxia

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.

#235 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:10am by bobertnoodle

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.

#237 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:14am by dspadres

#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.

#239 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:17am by theletterj

Don't you look where you're shooting... like if I miss or something what could happen... common sense...

#240 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:22am by esquared77

dumbass, use a shotgun next time.

#241 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:24am by STVader

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.

#243 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:26am by wonderbud

#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.

#244 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:26am by musu

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.

#245 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:30am by babydoll86

#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?

#246 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:33am by musu

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.

#248 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:42am by namelessfew

work on your aim, sure you'll get it next time

the rabbit deserves that shit

#249 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:46am by crackr0ckst3ady9

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.

#250 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:47am by Waabishkii_ikwe

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.

#251 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:51am by peel

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.

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.

#258 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:05pm by meddude

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 :

#260 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:13pm by abtface12

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

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.

#263 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:26pm by lmmmr

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.

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.

#269 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:37pm by lazorzpewpew

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.

#270 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:40pm by Kently

#269- Those back yards were the rabbit's natural habitat long before they were back yards. You fail.

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...

"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.

#283 - On 05/27/2009 at 12:59pm by Ryno

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.

#284 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:00pm by wafflemonger

#286 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:02pm by zebendyone

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.

#287 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:03pm by jennam

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?

#288 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:03pm by Ohnoitslindsay

#281, it's more the fact that this guy was shooting it for revenge/cuz he wanted to. Not for necessary food.

#289 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:03pm by zebendyone

"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.

#290 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:04pm by smchls

""""""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...........

#292 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:06pm by smchls

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.

#293 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:10pm by PTSG

What a jackass.

#294 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:12pm by iambean

Nice Aim

#295 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:13pm by Skinny89

@292, it's not the most horrible thing in the world but it's still plain horrible. Leave the poor rabbit alone. YDI

#296 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:13pm by Bumlove89

You missed, the bullet was right on target. YDI

#297 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:14pm by aero

thats what you get for shooting at a poor helpless little bunny..i hope someone shoots you

#298 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:14pm by mustangsami118

#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.

#299 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:19pm by Ohnoitslindsay

I hope you die in your fucking sleep you dickface trying to kill a cute little bunny just because it ate some plants. Prick

#300 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:21pm by fuckzombies

Always be aware of what is behind your target.

#302 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:26pm by arms_akimbo

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

#303 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:49pm by ysslah

Hahaha! Silly Rabbit! Bullets are for pools!

#304 - On 05/27/2009 at 1:49pm by Dessgeega

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. =)

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.

#310 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:04pm by pappy1193

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.

#758 - On 09/09/2009 at 2:07am by furismurder

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.

#311 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:07pm by MURPHYCHACHO

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

#312 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:09pm by horsecraziegal

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.

#313 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:10pm by cathrn17

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.

#314 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:13pm by bibilaurrr

..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"

#315 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:17pm by jennam

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.

#316 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:18pm by wildabeast

good! you deserve it! why would you shoot a defenseless bunny rabbit! you pu$$y

#317 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:30pm by EffYoLife

yeah your a douche for that one. YDI.

#318 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:31pm by yellowaro

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.

#320 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:36pm by precious606893

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.

#321 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:36pm by morgan020

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

#323 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:43pm by elliekinslurvsya

#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.

#324 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:48pm by pappy1193

That darn wabbit.

#325 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:49pm by SiLveRStaRLIGHT

revenge on a rabbit?

#326 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:53pm by NeoSoulGurl

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.

#327 - On 05/27/2009 at 2:56pm by UlmarBroemel

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.

#328 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:05pm by Theos

lol! shooting rabbits or other pests is fine by me, just aim before you shoot. Rabbits are pests, not "innocent creatures".

#329 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:05pm by shadow_duv

Most would say YDI for shooting an animal but he probably lives in one of those places where killing animals is common.

#330 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:05pm by AntX2

i think its a redneck only rednecks would shoot at bunnies with a 22

#331 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:08pm by anon19726

#332 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:11pm by 12lehmae

karmas a bitch. remember that next time you try to kill animals that are just doing whats natural

#333 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:12pm by xolalalauren

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.

#336 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:17pm by aerosparrow

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.

#337 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:19pm by Travel

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.

#338 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:19pm by meddude

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

#339 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:19pm by joho104

xD The bullet missed. I'm sorry your bullets don't follow orders. You shouldn't have been trying to kill a bunny.

#344 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:23pm by Omsok

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.

#348 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:26pm by kingbeau

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.

#349 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:27pm by emosewa

YDI for shooting at an innocent animal, and for being stupid enough to miss.

#350 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:27pm by Shoopman

You deserve to be in a psych ward. Shooting at an animal for eating some flowers? That doesn't sound right.

#351 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:28pm by sarahishh

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.

#352 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:28pm by BirdieKitKat

#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.

#353 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:29pm by cheesesoda

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.

#354 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:30pm by Nandian90

Shooting a cute little bunny becasue it it ate your flowers.

#357 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:40pm by binaryalice

YDI for having such a whitetrash style of using guns for whatever stupid thing you can think of.

#358 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:42pm by _pk_

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]

#359 - On 05/27/2009 at 3:44pm by paperboat

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

#366 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:03pm by mrwildman

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!

#368 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:04pm by j3nn1987

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 ;).

#369 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:06pm by elektrik

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.

#370 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:07pm by aikidogirl96

And 368....I didn't know rabbits were a food that tons of people eat.

#372 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:10pm by katie_bby

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.

#373 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:10pm by Roxas

hmmmm sad part is...to make yourself feel better you wanted revenge on a rabbit....pathetic

#374 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:12pm by drummer458

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.

#375 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:14pm by Ohnoitslindsay

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.

#377 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:22pm by bluetoaster

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!

#378 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:23pm by riot9081

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.

#380 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:31pm by fmlreaderr

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... -_-

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.

do you mean a .22 rifle? NOT a 22. rifle

a 22. is a cannonball

#388 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:43pm by bloodfalcon22

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

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.

#394 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:48pm by cheerthefkupism

join PETA asap you fucking redneck

#395 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:49pm by citychic94

WTF? You ACTUALLY attempted to shoot a rabbit just because it ate your plants. That's not exactly eye for eye YDI.

#396 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:49pm by blooop

And shooting at things in your yard is better than putting a fense around your garden because....

You know you're a redneck when.

#397 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:50pm by fantome

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.

#398 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:52pm by leili

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?

#399 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:53pm by kmfitz

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

#400 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:54pm by mxf06

FUCKKKK YOUU!!!
dunt hurt animallsss...
hahah karma got you guddd bitch :)

#401 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:55pm by candii

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.

#402 - On 05/27/2009 at 4:56pm by OHHgreatttt

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...

#407 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:05pm by suaveneanderthal

"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.

#408 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:07pm by trailofdead

Karma's a bitch isn't it? Maybe you shouldn't shoot at bunnies DICK.

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

#411 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:15pm by bortzy93

... 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

#413 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:17pm by ASatanistHobo

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.

#414 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:20pm by wafflemonger

#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

#415 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:21pm by jennam

It's something called karma. That's what you get for attempting to kill a rabbit!

#416 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:22pm by Blue_Panda

that rabbit is laughing his ass off

"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.

#420 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:25pm by wafflemonger

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.

#421 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:25pm by Occam

This is the absolute and most perfect example of a YDL.

#422 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:29pm by sfsdfsf

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.

#423 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:29pm by kk3211

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.

#424 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:30pm by wafflemonger

Fuck your Life... You missed.

#428 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:40pm by Saoul

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.

#429 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:42pm by Darkspear

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.

#430 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:42pm by dan81892

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

#431 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:44pm by twihardluvsrpatz

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.

#432 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:44pm by dan81892

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.

#433 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:45pm by jalaluddin

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

#434 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:46pm by twihardluvsrpatz

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.

#435 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:48pm by ilovemycats

i agree with 426.

#436 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:49pm by twihardluvsrpatz

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.

#437 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:50pm by imkendra

HA! You were outsmarted by a rabbit!

All you tree hugging liberals whining about killing a rabbit can kiss my ass!!!

#438 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:50pm by gajssmith

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.

#439 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:50pm by Gunpar

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!!!

#440 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:51pm by jessxoxo28

that's what you get for trying to kill innocent little wabbits

-_-

#441 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:56pm by Carosello

damn hicks!

#442 - On 05/27/2009 at 5:58pm by luigi23

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.

#443 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:02pm by thuryn

KARMA!!!!!!!!

#444 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:02pm by saxlover

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.

#445 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:04pm by jalaluddin

ha your a dumbass, why are you shooting stuff with a cannon

#446 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:05pm by givants

Is this for reals? This sounds like something out of a cartoon...or a movie...

#447 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:08pm by DisturbedDriver

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

#448 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:09pm by Icalasari

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!

#449 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:10pm by dudettedufromage

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.

#450 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:12pm by in_wonderland

wow i thought this was an fml not peta convention. the guy just lacks all common sense and aiming abilities.

#451 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:12pm by some_random_dude

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.

#452 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:15pm by z_x_c_v_b_n_m

#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.

#453 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:16pm by Ohnoitslindsay

#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.

#454 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:17pm by Gunpar

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.

#455 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:21pm by catsnbees

good. next time put up a bunny fence you dick.

#456 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:26pm by ButaDujo

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.

#457 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:29pm by ayashe

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

#458 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:29pm by Shizer100

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.

#460 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:32pm by k1o2a3l4a5

#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.

#461 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:34pm by Gunpar

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.

#463 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:38pm by Ohnoitslindsay

you deserve it, asshole. ha.

#464 - On 05/27/2009 at 6:44pm by jesslackszazz

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

2: Having a gun in the first place.
3: Having a gun & not even being able to aim it.
Get rid of the gun!

#471 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:13pm by AnneFTW

#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.

#472 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:15pm by GoldenSofa

#474 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:20pm by smokinkush

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!!

#475 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:21pm by lologirl419

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.

#476 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:22pm by sarahdg

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.

#477 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:24pm by EmbryH

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.

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.

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

#488 - On 05/27/2009 at 7:57pm by rlb237

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!

well that sucks for you. YDI for shooting at a wild rabbit. rabbits need to eat too! >:( im glad you missed.

#491 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:01pm by MiizMan

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!

#494 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:06pm by MiizMan

#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.

#495 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:07pm by audiogasmic

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.

also, "the bullet" didn't miss anything, YOU're just a shit shot.

#499 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:15pm by pete275

asswipe, leave the hungry rabbit alone.

maybe someone should shoot you instead.

#500 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:19pm by miss_mojo

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?

#501 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:21pm by scorpiogirl666

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.

#502 - On 05/27/2009 at 8:22pm by Ohnoitslindsay

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 -_-"

#522 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:17pm by cheese1756

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

#531 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:52pm by genesis357

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.

#532 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:57pm by wow_ugh_fmylife

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

#533 - On 05/27/2009 at 9:59pm by UncleverName_FYL

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?

#535 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:05pm by noName123456

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 - On 05/27/2009 at 10:13pm by ViceVirtuoso

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.

#546 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:03pm by kandy

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.

#548 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:05pm by affa99

Hey, don't aim at things you're not prepared to kill. Even inanimate objects.

#554 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:30pm by BalenciagaBetch9

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.

#555 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:32pm by freudianego

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.

#556 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:40pm by Fouisgras

Dude, Im all for shooting rabbits, nosy little bastards in my opinion. but seriously...learn to shoot dumbass.

#557 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:43pm by zphillips89

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

that 1st sentence= LMFAO

#559 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:47pm by effmyyliifee

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.

#560 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:49pm by notnormal

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)

#561 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:50pm by zphillips89

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.

#562 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:50pm by Kitty34

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.

#563 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:56pm by love_jd13

#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.

#564 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:56pm by pinkducttape

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 yo
