I didn't even want to kill a baby copper head that bit our dog! She
complained until I chopped it in half with a shovel. I still feel
guilty for doing it. I don't have a problem with hunting for food but
just killing something for doing what comes natural brothers me. I take
spiders outside that I find in the house. The ones I find are the lucky
ones. The ones my wife finds are summarily executed.
