Today, I found an injured rabbit by the side of the road. I was about to take it to the local vet, when my husband picked it up and casually snapped its neck. "No rabbit's worth my money" he said, forgetting that he's been a jobless moocher for over 3 years. Pass me the goddamn divorce papers. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents, and now they have a dead rabbit because I sat on it. FML
Today, I found out my dad ate my pet rabbit two years ago. He said he ran away. FML
Today, my dog proudly brought home a rabbit he'd killed. The same rabbit that belongs to my neighbor's daughter. FML
Today, while I was at work, my dumbass husband gave his dead rabbit a Viking funeral by sending it down the river behind our house in a crate he set on fire. It got stuck on a tree, which caught on fire, along with the field and the warehouse next to the field. The police think he did it on purpose. 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
Today, my cat died. But, before he could bite the dust, he left a goodbye present on my bed: a decapitated baby rabbit. FML
Today, my rabbit died. He died a painful death from ingesting too much carpet. I now have no rabbit and a patchy carpet. FML
Today, my dad and I were in the car when a rabbit scurried across the road, just missing us. My dad turned and said to me, "Well, it's good we didn't hit him. He gets to live another day." I then looked in the rear view mirror to see the rabbit running away from the cross traffic, only to be hit by the car behind us. 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, I walked outside to see my boyfriend standing on my porch, looking confused. He explained to me that he had attached a prom proposal note to his pet rabbit, and let it inside my house to find me. We went looking for said rabbit, and found my dog halfway through eating it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No need for divorce papers. Just throw him into a sarlacc pit. World: improved.

The big difference is that he didn't do it out of mercy, but selfishness and with a clear lack of empathy. And if the vet couldn't take care of it they probably would've called a wildlife rehab place.

Your husband did the right thing in ending the suffering of a wounded wild animal. He could have been more sensitive about how he did it, however.

Not if it wasn't a fatal injury. Op was going to bring it to the vet, where it could be healed and probably rehabilitated.

Yeah. You might never read this, but I hope all goes well with whatever path you take with him. Honestly, since he's been a jobless moocher for three years, and it certainly sounds like the rabbit was the straw that broke the camel's back, I'd go ahead and divorce him. But I wish you the best in whatever path you choose OP.

Yeah this guys is shit, but damn to be able to just do that. Impressive not going to lie.

Poor guy, but to be fair the vet would probably do the same.

They wouldn't snap it's neck, they put it to sleep without it suffering.

Snapping its neck is a quick and painless way of ending a rabbit's suffering. No need to get a vet involved.

I really doubt that they would spend a some what expensive drug for a wild rabbit. It doesn't hurt getting your neck snapped, you die in 1 second.

So, #130. You find a wild rabbit on the side of the road. You're going to risk picking it up (it's going to kick, fight and panic), drive to a vet, and pay... what, $200 to have an animal you don't own put down? I sure as shit won't. This guy was as effective as the vet with a 100% cost reduction. Oh, and don't abandon these animals there, either. Then the clinic has to foot the bill and that's bs.

I'm sorry he really sounds like a dick. But that last sentence would be a great hashtag for others in similar situations. #passmethedivorcepapers

Yeah if he can kill an injured animal with will he do to a human also what about family pets

Casual abuse to animals is one of the biggest warning signs of someone who ends up being abusive to people. Even aside from hurting the innocent animal, don't miss that this was incredibly emotionally abusive to YOU by forcing you to watch. I think you were joking with the divorce bit, but you need to seriously consider your future with this man if he treats both living creatures AND your feelings this callously.

Huge difference between mercy killing an injured animal and being a serial animal mutilating psychopath.

176, Indeed - and the OP's husband definitely qualifies as the latter.
tomvertigo 17
Absolutely not. You have no ground to stand on when saying that. OPs post framed her husband negatively and yes, his words were harsh and terrible but what he did is normal and commonplace in the vast majority of the real world.

No rodent is worth it no matter what your hubby may otherwise be.

I really hope you mean the husband

Honestly when I first read this I was horrified; rabbits are one of my favorite animals after all. Now that I think about it though I can see where he's coming from (though he did word it very harshly). I don't think he's heartless or a psychopath, just practical I guess. After all, vets can get very pricy and you're a single income family. I feel like he was kinder to the rabbit than I would have been because honestly I would have just left it there as is, circle of life and all.
