Jesus fuck. I wasn’t there, but your father abused you, displayed laziness, cowardice, and tortured animals. I find the cowardice of having you do it and then drowning particularly disgusting. Fucking yeller coward. I’m sorry you went through that.

I dispatch groundhogs in the trap with a . 22 revolver to the head using high velocity hollow points. I also know what the fuck I’m doing. They don’t feel it. I’ve put down cats before, but I use buckshot to make sure, they move fast and fucking up with a pet is unacceptable.

My son could, and would, put down pets if I told him to or I wasn’t able. It would fuck him up and it would have to be dire circumstances for it to ever happen. I’d have to be in the hospital or something and my wife would do it before he had to. That shit ain’t right.

Start with fishing, easy to learn to clean from youtube and the emotional impact is a lot less.
