Hawk dropped bunny (somewhat graphic)

I cant believe you took pics, video, exc just to post it..

Who are you to judge him for this? Just state your opinion and be done, don't bash him for it, express yourself and keep judgments to yourself.

You did the right thing by putting it out of its misery.

there was no "judging" i was stating my opinion, i personally (as someone who does photography) cant believe he would take the time to take video and photos of the rabbit near death, i just cant understand that, especially for the reason "i want to remember the experience" No where in there did i say anything about judging him, i didnt belittle him, didnt bash him, didnt call him bad names, exc.. i said i PERSONALLY couldnt believe he took the time to do so. I was expressing myself.

I understand what your saying, but in my defense I would like to say these pics and the video were taken on my phone and the video is about 19 secs and the pics took 5 seconds to take. While taking these pictures I was deciding what exactly to do. I mean I didn't think about what had actually happened, I just went for the camera and took a couple pics. Someone else probably would have gone about it a different way, but it's done now so what can you do.

Jacob, thats fine you really dont need to explain yourself to me, whether it took 30 minutes or 10 seconds is really irrelevant.. I posted my most recent response to clear up the post quoted by pythontricker what i have/havnt said to you. Everyone is different, as is every situation and scenario. It doesnt make it right or wrong. Everyone handles things differently.

Frankly Jacob I find it amazing, and I feel sorry for you, that you have to keep explaining yourself to ADEE when everything you did was appropriate and humane. I guess that fact that you spent 24 seconds taking pictures and a video means that you should be indicted on criminal charges for animal cruelty in her mind. How many more ways does she want you to go over the same scenario? She is relentless.

I am curious if ADEE feeds live animals to her snake(s)? If so, we should take that up for discussion. I think it's fine, but I am curious about her beliefs on the matter.

You did do the right thing. The rabbit would have died by either

a) just dying like he was laying here
b) the hawk coming back to eat it

So it would have died a slow and painful death either way so ending its misery is a good thing to do :

I think its amazing you keep putting words in my mouth and feelings in my soul. I never said there should be criminal charges my God do you take things out of context and exagerate to the fullest extent. To say im relentless even really goes way over the top, you have no idea who I am and I would appreciate it if you would stop critisizing me for MY opinion. I havnt asked him to continue going over the scenario, let it go dude. If you have something to say to me PM me directly and stop taking up space wasting your words on this thread. Jacob has been very nice in expressing his view/opinions and i have thanked him for that.

Determining or questioning how I choose to feed my snakes has NOTHING to do with this thread nor is it any of your business, FURTHERMORE I have already stated I totally understand how the "circle of life" works in this thread, that wasnt the point at all and you continue going over the top on this thread, why dont you read all my responses. I repeat, if you have something to say to me, direct it to me personally and private message me. Wasting more space in this thread by running your mouth, making false accusations and fabricating what i say is doing just that, wasting space.

I do not want to start an argument. Let's just leave it alone. I do not feel ADEE was attacking me, she was merely stating her opinions on what happened.
