Mercy killing

The only thing I've ever deliberately killed was a rabbit while I was on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition. It must have been caught by a bird of prey and dropped - the bird had bitten clean through its spine just behind its head. The poor thing was lying on its side shrieking in terror and twitching , so I did the decent thing and bashed its head in with a rock. The poor thing actually looked relieved as it died.

The Duke of Ed would have approved
and it was probably one of those slitty eyed rabbits anyway.

Indeed! Wonder how he's coping in hospital with all the foreign doctors and nurses...probably not helping his heart condition at all.

That was a very decent thing to do.

And what about the rock? Are we to believe it was left unscathed?
