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

Today, I heard a gunshot not too far from the house. This is not unusual, as I live way out in the boonies and hunters tend to roam the woods. What isn't normal is a stray bullet hitting my above-ground pool, which promptly split open and released a torrent of water that flooded my basement. FML
Today, while mowing my backyard, I messily discovered that a family of rabbits has been living out there in the tall grass. FML
Today, a few freshmen jumped my fence. They decided to take a dip in the pool, so I pulled out a paintball gun. I unloaded over 100 rounds, painting their backs bright yellow. It also dyed my pool yellow, and it'll apparently cost around $500 to repair. FML
Today, I wanted revenge on my neighbor, whose dog craps in my yard, so I spent a day at the dog park gathering up dog shit. I piled it up by the property line and ran over it with the mower, intending to spray his driveway and car with turds. Instead, it gummed up the mower. Now it stinks too bad to fix. FML
Today, my dog proudly brought home a rabbit he'd killed. The same rabbit that belongs to my neighbor's daughter. FML
Today, I was on my back patio talking with my husband. It got dark outside, and I saw something shuffling in the back yard. I freaked out so bad that I went to run inside, only to fly face-first into the screen door. Turns out the shuffling was a baby rabbit. FML
Today, my 6 ft snake got loose. I found it. It was in my neighbor's backyard, constricting their pet rabbit. FML
Today, I shot my boyfriend in the balls by mistake, twice. First it was a paintball gun I was using with my nephew, then it was a slingshot I use to scare away the bird who keeps eating fish from my pond. He is now sat icing his groin acting like I did it on purpose. FML
Today, I drove home on my birthday, and my mom said she'd meet me there. I was a little surprised to get home and find she wasn't there, but even more shocked to see my rabbit run over in my driveway. Turns out he'd gotten loose and my mom had run him over, panicked, and left. FML
Today, after I warned my son repeatedly that if he wanted a rabbit he had to clean and feed it, I checked on it. It wasn’t just dead, it was dead and rotting in a pool of its own pee and faeces. I yelled at him, but he just shrugged and told me rabbits are boring and he forgot it was even there. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Sounds like a Tom & Jerry episode.

YDI! Dumb ass, watch where you're shooting. People like you give the rest of us with guns a bad name. Besides, rabbits are easy to trap, and trapping doesn't mess up the meat of the fur.

275, I think "what has America come to" is a little melodramatic. Further, it's entirely possible that the people you are complaining about are vegetarians/vegans, and thus your statement about people doing worse things to animals so they can eat is invalid. And even if they're not, killing an animal for food is completely different from killing an animal for revenge. The first scenario is a semi-necessary evil, while the second is just retarded. Also, having seen what we have of this guy's aim, I think it's safe to say that whether he *wanted* to torture the bunny or not, inevitably he would have had to shoot it five or six times before it did the trick.

Not like the bunny KNEW he wasn't supposed to eat that, lol. YDI, I'm pretty sure shooing it away angrily would have given the bunny the hint.

I have two gardens, one is fenced up, and the other is left out for the rabbits. They're also really good for eating my dandelions. But even if a rabbit was to eat my entire garden, I wouldn't starve OR get angry. As for mice and bugs, I use humane traps for the mice and set them free, and I'll be honest, I let the ants, spiders, and a few other bugs crawl through my basement. I just make sure it's as clean as possible. As for the people bringing up mosquitoes, I let them take whatever they want, but I tend to stay away from sugary things and they avoid me.

The OP was not killing the animal for food. He was killing it for revenge, as he so idiotically stated. So those of you using protein as justification for this should seek another angle. OP- How does it feel to be less intelligent than a rabbit?

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

"275, I think "what has America come to" is a little melodramatic. Further, it's entirely possible that the people you are complaining about are vegetarians/vegans, and thus your statement about people doing worse things to animals so they can eat is invalid." Neither you nor I know if everyone being a whinny bitch about the situation is vegan. Therefore, this statement affects you as much as it does me. "And even if they're not, killing an animal for food is completely different from killing an animal for revenge. The first scenario is a semi-necessary evil, while the second is just retarded." So basically, it's OKAY for you to kill an animal in order to eat it. But it wouldn't be OKAY for me to kill it because it's destroying my garden? Okay, hypocrite. Killing is killing. And killing a rabbit isn't nearly as bad as some are making it out to be. "Also, having seen what we have of this guy's aim, I think it's safe to say that whether he *wanted* to torture the bunny or not, inevitably he would have had to shoot it five or six times before it did the trick." Spoken like someone who's never used a gun. It depends on the gun he used and the size of the rabbit. Trust me, it would have died almost instantly.

In this country, attempting to kill a rabbit is apparently the most horrible thing in the world...........
