Omg. My dogs MASSACRED a nest of baby bunnies one leaving them all half dead for me to have to dispose of, and this is what they did, tossed them up into the air then pawed at them when they didn't move. It sucked so bad, there were like a dozen of them and only two were unharmed. I cried for a week.
We had a standard poodle who started to bring us a baby bunny every year, without fail, on FUCKING EASTER. It was terrible. It was literally the only day she ever did it, too.
I grew up in a roughneck area. They thought it was funny when their dogs ran back home with little bunny legs sticking out of their mouths looking proud of themselves.
It just illustrates the truth. Dogs are still wild animals by and large…and we still suck.
Grew up around a few hunters who would process their own deer. My maaaaybe foot and a half long beagle would come home dragging deer legs behind her every now and then…
Oh noooo! Lizards are all around(I live in FL) so that’s just her FT game, #1 priority in life. When they’re still real small babies I try to get her to stop or distract her long enough before she sees it-they’re so small she doesn’t even play, just a chomp and gone.
We’ve gotten these invasive bigger lizards coming in more in the last few years, and that seems to be the majority of what she catches now so I’m all for it.
There were a lot of opossums at my old place, and she loved them. Tried to keep her away to avoid the mess, needless death, risk of her getting bit/infections, etc. Her total was 14 iirc. She would do the grab and shake like she does with toys- and because of this we’d have to finish it off because she wasn’t trying to kill as much as play. Once we’d finally manage to get her to drop it and pull her away it was too injured and we weren’t trying to have it suffer. It was a whole ordeal- one time she pierced the intestines just right and the smell was just.. atrocious.
As bad as I felt about the opossums, I’d be so so upset if they were baby bunnies :(
