Have you killed live chicken or fish for food?

I used to fish all the time, and I would keep the fish to bring home and eat. I would usually clean them and put them in the freezer for later use. I grew up hunting and fishing, so this is all second-nature to me. However, I do not kill animals just for the sake of killing them. I never kill any such animal that I do not intend to eat. Killing animals just to be doing it, or just to have a trophy to hang on your wall is wrong. When I kill an animal, I try to use as much of the animal as I can...

I used to go fishing all the time as a kid. Most of the time, my dad did the actual slaughter (cutting and cleaning) because he didn't trust us kids with a sharp knife. I don't think I could do it now if my life depended on it. The thought of cutting something is uncomfortable for me.

I have not killed chickens myself. When my kids were still at home we used to go fishing. I have killed and cleaned fish. When i was a kid i was raised by my grandparents. They had chickens all the time. We collected eggs all summer and before winter all would be killed and in our freezer.

Not only have I never done so, I hope I never have to. From what I remember fish is put on ice after it is caught and not kept alive, at least that is how it is for most people. As for the slaughter of livestock and poultry, there is so much more work involved than just the killing. Slaughter is distasteful enough, but there is also the draining of blood, removal of skin, etc. Most people don't want the work of cutting up a chicken that has already been cleaned even though it is cheaper to by the whole chicken than the parts already separated. In any case, I don't eat meat so I doubt I will ever be faced with this task.

I have never killed a chicken. I have killed fish I am Cup'ik Eskimo in Alaska, killing animals for subsistence is "normal" for my people. I have taken part in killing other animals as well, but I have not myself, killed a chicken.

When I was younger growing up, we raised rabbits for food. I remember well learning how to fully dress them for eating. It definitely took some getting used to.

I have only fixed fish that I have caught for food. I've never killed anything else. My mother grew up on a farm and told me that she used to watch her grandmother kill chickens, then prepare them for cooking. She never killed any herself, though. Once, while I was out driving, a deer ran into my car and broke it's back. A police officer came and shot it in the head to kill it and put it out of it's misery. When I saw the damage to my car that the deer caused, I asked the officer if I could have the deer. He said yes and put it in the trunk of my car for me. When I got it home, I hung it, then skinned and gutted it, then chopped it up and put the meat in my freezer. I was so angry at the damage it caused my car (when I did not have insurance to cover deer-damage and this was about $2,0000 worth of damage), I had no trouble at all cutting into that deer!

Hello scheng, No, i haven't done that ever. Well, some of my friends have. I have killed them but i have seen them being killed in front of me, mostly chicken. I could eat them after seeing them die, but i don't think i can muster the courage it needs to kill them. I don't want to kill them either, i just want someone who could so that i can eat them. After thinking about this all, i wonder how some vegetarians would feel when we slaughter them for food.

I've never killed a chicken,rabbit and other.I've killed only bugs(but not to eat them afcourse) and fish.My grandparents kill the animals said.My grandma kills them to be exact.She is a nurse and thats the reason she isn't guilty for that.Hope you understand me.. When the chickens are young and lay eggs we don't kill them.We kill only the roosters.In the summer when we watch rabbits we reproduce them for food.In the end of the summer i go fishing with my grandpa and that's the only moment when i kill fishes.But i'm still guilty even if its a fish.But thats the nature - you have to eat.Every animal kills other animals so it can live on this world.

When I stayed in our countryside for vacation I and y brother had a competition how to kill a chicken. My father illustrated it. Then at the count of three I and my brother started to kill our food. He did it first. I am too lame to see cut-head of chicken and blood in my hands that made me stopped for awhile... I felt bad after. But the bad feeling fade away easily then we ate our roasted chicken.

Nope. But my family pretty much knows how to kill a chicken. Whenever I go home for a visit, mom usually cooks a broth with native chicken and she just usually have my brother choose a chicken from the yard. They would butcher it and cook it. I can't catch a kitchen by myself, all the more kill it with my own hands. I don't want to get blood on my hands but I like to eat them. Native chicken just tastes so good!

Killing animals for food: I imagine it's like plucking fruit from trees for food. Oh! How the fruit-trees SCREAM!

I never killed a chicken but I love hunting specially Rabbit and birds hunting plus fish catching and ultimately you have to kill them in order to eat so Yes i did. I love adventure so once or twice in a year i went with my friends on an adventurous tour and most of the times we went to northern areas of Pakistan where we do camping near the river or near a lake and only few people live there so less chances of getting food from there so we hunt for food

from born to now,i haven't kill animal , but i saw my parents did it when i am younger.when i grew up, i begun to cook,every time i buy chicken or something else to cook,it needn't myself to kill. it can not only save my time but also avoid facing terrible sense.

I was brought up on a farm. As the oldest child, I learned to do just about anything. It didn't bother me to use the ax to chop off a chicken's head, pluck it, take out the entrails, cut it up and cook it. I could still enjoy eating it once it was on the table. However, when it came time to butcher the animals, I was glad that I was a girl and could get by with hiding until after they were killed and bled out. Of course, I was still expected to help prepare the meat for the freezer. It didn't bother me to help scrape the hair off the hog after it had been dipped in scalding water, even though it would still have the head and feet attached. The calves were a different matter. That animal had to be skinned and have the head removed before I could stand to look at the carcass. I was relieved when my father started to take the animals to a custom butcher. I'd see them go off in the back of the truck and come back all wrapped in butcher paper labeled steaks, ribs, hamburger, etc.

I have never killed any animal. Well actually, I have gone fishing before, but I don't do that anymore since I don't eat fish. I never want to have to kill my own food. This is why I don't go hunting.

Hello... yes I have when I was still young! I killed a live chicken! It was funny then not scary... I almost severed its neck but it was still running..

Well, I can do that my friend. I killed those chicken to make it fried chicken. It is usual for people to do so. Because they intended for people to eat!

As I live in city too, I've never done it myself nor see it personally, but I know all those things in supermarkets were murdered after all, for the sake of feeding the people. I know some things that are done to the animals in the farms from some comments and we may be terrified of some things that are common before the cow is on the freezer. So I guess I don't like to know the details, just to know that the meat was a cow some time ago is enough from me. In the big cities, the only similar thing is fishing. It's quite common that people fish for sport and recreation at some rivers here and there, and then cook and eat the fishes they got. Somewhat similar to the things done in mass on the farms.

yes i have done it few time in my life while my visiting in my village. I killed fish lot of time. Also i work with my uncle chicken farm and have killed live chicken.
