"What to do, what to do.."

So, I decided to take a break from my "studying". Got my air rifle, (yes, I have one of those, because I am a mindless psychopath who may kill at any minute) and went outside to shoot something, preferably something that smashes. And what did I see in the corner of the yard but a little, baby bird.
Cue the "Awwwww..."

But remeber, this is a man with an air rifle.
So what did I do? Leave it alone or kill it?

In the end, I shot it.

I'm not that heartless..

It isn't the cutest of things (it's a magpie) but it looks better alive than dead.

There's a difference between seeing birds and killing birds.

A.K.A who cares?
It is a bird.
Who hasn't seen a bird before?

"Birds" isn't scary..

And why would I shoot it? Really?

Reasons for:

1) I may hear a satisfying "thump" as the pellet enters its head.
2) I will be finally able to call myself "a man".

Reasons against:

1) It's a defenceless bird who is only about 2 months old.
2) I'm not hungry, and if I was, I would eat something more appetising.
3) It hasn't caused any harm.
4) It has as much right to life as anything else.

It's like the lion scenario - a man can kill a lion and it is brilliant sport and great fun - but if it kills him it is barbaric. Even though it is an animal, and he a human who is supposedly cultured and civilised.

Why is it not feminine not to kill a baby bird?

yep.

Have you ever seen the Hitchcock film "Birds"?
Scares the hell out of me.
Ah what the hell shoot it

Is the link right?

I got a load of cavemen queueing up to rub their clubs in the ground to make fire.

I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but Squall that was one of the stupidest things I ever heard. So, by not killing a helpless bird, you consider RoJ effeminate? Right...

*RoJ

And what happened after I took the photograph?


I uploaded it onto my PC..

I would have shot it.
