      I killed a bird once after it flew into a window. When I found it, it was already fucked up, so it was a mercy killing.

      I tried to break its neck as the quickest way. Boy does that not work at all with birds.

      Ended up stomping its head. The body then rolled in a weird, active way. Like the wings did some kind of motion that led to the body somersaulting rapidly away. It went maybe ten feet then stopped.

      It was a pretty fucked up experience to have while stoned.

        I had a similar experience. A raven got zapped by a 22kV transformer outside my house. It caused a noise and a brief brownout so I went out to the street to see. The raven was half burnt and gasping for breath. It had a minute or two to live, tops.

        Went to the shed and grabbed a shovel to euthenaise it. I thought I could dig into its neck and decapitate it instantly. Nope. Didn’t work. I ended up slapping it with a shovel while my neighbors watched.

        They probably think I’m nuts.
