I killed a severely injured wolf 2 years ago-it got hit by a highway snow plow during a big storm and was on the snowbank on the side of the highway-used a hatchet.It was quick.I've dispatched dogs,cats-a horse.I wont let an animal suffer and this highway takes its toll every year. I have had to do likewise a couple times... other times the animal was saveable and I did that instead. I can't stand to see animals suffer either. People, on the other hand... Yeah, pretty much the same hear, and I have the vet bills to prove it. ;D

I have a mouse that runs around my house.
Can't bring myself to kill it. Too cute.

Came home a few weeks ago to a 3 foot rattlesnake on my front patio... Sitting on the concrete. Had my 8 y/o daughter in tow. She heard daddy's command voice to get back in the truck and she pratically levitated back inside. (They're never to young for training and drill.) Rattler coiled and readied to strike...
Went inside, got my old Kris Cutlery Excalibut hand and a half off the wall, came back and the damn snake had moved out further onto the concrete. Thought about trying a strike of my own, but considering my cutting practice of late I was sure I would either miss and get bit, or best case hit the snake and ruin the end of my blade. Rattlers are not common in my neighborhood, (never seen one around a house in this area in 35 years), so I wasn't going to try and bait him over into the planter bed.
So back into the garage, and several whacks with a shovel against concrete with rattler in between, and he was DOA.
A good 5 minutes after I get his head of, I was holding his head and using my knife to show my daughter his fangs. He actually opened his mouth, dropped fangs, and tried to hiss. Tough little bugger.
I did go after a small buck that got trapped in my yard once with my Gen2 Gladius... Had a wee bit o' scotch on board that night. Deer got away. No stitches, only a few scratches from the blackberry bushes.
