I just shot (with an air rifle, silly) and killed two rats that have been loitering around my aviary this past week.
They died from a combination of skill, accuracy, and 6 hits to the head with a shovel.

The "two" rats were not the only rats there.
Today I was greeted with the sight of not one, not two, but THREE rats clambering all over my precious aviary.
I had to run back inside 3 times for extra ammo.
about 8 pellets later and all I have to show for it are 2 more dead rats. One was a clean kill and it took one or two seconds for it to stop moving. The second, however, made my heart almost feel sorry for it. But I will always have the mentality that they are vermin. They pose a risk to my birds and I don't care if I kill them horribly.
Basically the first shot at the second only injured it and compromised it's ability to high-tail it to it's exit. However, it simply hid in a small nook of the aviary structure with very little of it's body showing. I tried throwing little pebbles at it's backside to stir it out of it's hide so I could put it out of it's pain, but no.
To put a long story short, It had a total of 6 pellets shot at it. Most missed due to the fact that there was always a PVC-coated wire netting in between me and the target, but finally it crawled out towards a more exposed part of the structure and led there trying to gnaw it's way out, giving me a much higher chance of a head-shot. That's when I finally had the chance to stop the slaughtering.
I am cold.

I mate of mine shot a rat 36 times with a BB gun and still it didn't die. In the end I got sorry for it and hit him over the head with a big stick. We ain't friends no more.

It's either they die, or my 10-odd cockatiels come to harm as a result of them.
Which do you prefer, puddin?
Brown vermin, or colourful, exotic and chirpy birdies?
I'd kill for my cockatiels, and earlier on I proved it.

Yey, I half qualify.

You'd also need to marry your cousin, and touch your brother / sister in their sleep.

And chronic brain screw-up disorder, to TRULY fit in with americans.
Nah, what you would really need is an American Flag nailed to your bedroom wall, and various disused war shells scattered about the room ;D
Got them both in quick succession, too.
Jeez, I'd be the original redneck if it wasn't for the fact that I have all my teeth.
And didn't jab a pitchfork into any live animal I came across as though I was picking litter.

You would be a credit to the Armed Forces.
