Just ran over a rabbits nest with lawnmower (1 Viewer)

[nysportsfan]

We had a bit of a mice problem in our garage one summer. My dad had some contact paper traps... what a freaking mess. We laid too many at once, and came back and they were all full, but all still alive, some legs were off, just a mess.

My dad grabbed the shovel, walked over, and handed it to me. I had to whack all of these freaking mice, some as many as three times.

Those were just mic, I can't imagine a family of rabbits.

Unfortuneately it is NOT rabbits that are posting about the close calls.

Who the hell has rabbit nests? Move back to civilization, hillbilly.

Something similar happened to me while visiting my uncle on the farm many years ago. He was mowing a field with a big blade hooked to the side of his tractor. Ran over a rabbit but only took off its back fur and skin.

Yes, rabbits scream. It's the stuff of nightmares.

I was freaked out but my uncle just grabbed his work gloves, picked up the screaming, bloody thing and wrung its neck like you would a goose. Grabbed it by the head and whipped it around in a circle.

Thanks a lot for bringing that memory back to the surface.

That didn't paint a pretty picture in my head poor rabbits

This place definitely needs more dead rabbit threads. The most entertainment I've had at work in a long time.

I have a woods behind my house. Get a ton of rabbits in my yard. Tried the repellant but they kept coming back. Finally got a bb gun and started picking them off one by one. Picked one off a few summers ago and it was thrashing around in my backyard. Tried to get near it to finish it off and it kept moving around. I just left it there overnight and figured I'd get it in the morning and bury it when I got up. When I went out to the yard in the morning, one of the animals from the woods must have got it because it was nowhere to be found.

Last Spring I was cleaning brush around my back deck and there was a nest of small animals in a hole I uncovered. The animals start scampering around. I get mice in my garage from time to time so I thought they were field mice. Grabbed my shovel and started playing whack-a-mole. As I am hitting them you can hear them squealing. Just horrible to hear. After they were all bludgeoned to death I got a closer look and saw they were actually a bunch of baby rabbits. Felt bad but realized I would have just ended up shooting them with my bb gun when they got older anyway.

Can we get a photoshop of Shuke's head on a dead rabbits body?

 

[rascal]

Did they scream each time you ran them over with the spinning blades?

Not to split hares but do rabbits really scream?

lol...winner!

Your uncle didn't go inside and ask the FFA; he sounds like an amateur.

Jesus what a mess. I just closed my eyes and ran them over again. This is horrible.

Are they dead or just more mangled?

They are dead. I am an animal lover and feel sick by this. I paniced and did not know what to do. Thought hitting them a second time would be more painless than drowing or a shovel the the head.

I feel for you. A couple of years ago, I was weed-eating along the fence in the backyard. I looked down and noticed a bird on the ground with both of its legs mangled and huge chunk of its abdomen missing. I guess I had cut it up; no idea how though. It was still alive and I panicked and didn't know what to do. I went inside and grabbed a hammer and about half a dozen paper towels. I came out back, covered it with the paper towels and gave it a nice hard smack with the hammer where I though the head was. I guess I missed, because all of a sudden it started stutter-fly/crawling through the grass caught up in the PTs. I had to chase it down and smack it a couple more times before it finally went down. When it was done, as I was stuffing it in a plastic Target sack, I noticed the elderly woman in the house behind us on her deck watching me with a look of both terror and repulsion.

Now that story cracks me up! Be a man and look the thing in it's eyes, and then end it.

did you just run them over again, or hover over them? oh, the rabbitanity.

Thought this said "ran over a rabbi's nest with a lawnmower"

Glad I was wrong, because that would be wrong.

 

[JHuber77]

Holy crap, you better hope that Sarah McLachlan doesn't find out about this you bastage.

I'd hit it, even with "whiskers" staring at me

 

[Courtjester]

OH, nature will get its revenge on you. The next big lump you run over in the yard will end up being one of those underground hornet/wasp nests. Yep--see if you get the opportunity to back up over that sucker a second time....

They were already maimed. Was looking for the fastest way to end the suffering.

Exactly. Nothing faster than running back to the porch first, to fire up a new FFA thread. Then jumping back out there to run over the baby rabbits again.

I just told my wife what exactly transpired during rabbit-gate. Thought she was going to vomit.

 

[DrJ]

Had these rabbits hanging out in our yard despite the fact we had 2 big dogs and it should have been pretty obvious it wasn't a safe zone. One day my dog is playing in the yard and comes across a nest - he roughed 2 of them up pretty good. Faced with the choice between calling animal control who would have charged me money or getting rid of the poor little guys I chose the latter. Nature will make more of them, and it's not worth $50 or whatever to keep some overpopulated creatures alive. Wasn't fun, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Was shocked and confused....had to step away for a minute to compose myself and seek advice. IPad was on my deck so it was near.

 

[gameday]

wait for them to die and then eat them.

Too small.

oh really, have you never eaten, say, SHRIMP???
