I understand what he was saying. He doesn't like having to kill an innocent creature (which may babies dependant on her for survival). But Les made it plain that in a life or death situation you have to do whatever is necessary. I seen nothing "silly" about what he said. Part of survival is respecting nature and our environment.
shareI feel bad for having to kill the enemy, but I was a damned good soldier and I had to do it.
Anyone that thinks that killing any living thing is fun, cool, or easy is simply a moron.
You are so silly, one "o" is sufficient.
Uh, I believe he disliked it because it's not life or death. His rescue team could be there in probably no more than a few hours, so he's doesn't HAVE TO kill this rabbit to live, but he does it because it's representative of a real survival situation. If he was actually stuck on his own, he wouldn't think twice.
sharethat's a good point, I think something else people don't get is that he's a visitor there and that when he kills an animal then he takes that animal from other animals (offspring and prey), when camping you might see that same rabbit all week, the rabbit might have been up to his same routine for weeks before you even got there and weeks or months after...it had it's own life there and possibly it's own family or family it could feed, yeah if you're hungry then you kill it and eat it, that's no big deal, but it's harder to do than killing and eating some farm animal that's essentially bred to for human consumption and you're almost doing it a favor by putting it out of it's misery these days
someone above mentioned how they're a pest in australia and easy to kill, but there's just no comparison then, you have to kill them, just like killing deer or feral hogs in the u.s., you either kill them with a bullet and eat them or you kill them with your car and feed the buzzards, the things about killing an animal for survival though is there's no limit, no one is keeping track of what animal you can take, you might kill one that's pretty important to the area, anyway everyone that eats meat should know the feeling of killing an animal before you eat it, people have lost that connection
