[QUOTE="-TheSecondSign-"][QUOTE="vlin1108"][QUOTE="-TheSecondSign-"][QUOTE="EMOEVOLUTION"] If you never feel regret then you've never learned anything about life.
You're not the first human to kill something without reason. It's okay to kill, but only for the reasons that are in-line with the nature of the world. To kill just to kill is something only humans do.
In conclusion instead of putting it out of it's misery you should have had a ceremony for it, thanked it for offering it life to you so you could survive, and ate it. That's the correct way to atone for your poor judgement.

No it isn't.
You mean there are animals that kill just for entertainment? I can't think of any right now.
I can't think of a breed of cat that doesn't kill things for the thrill of killing things.
My cat is well fed and content, that doesn't stop him from regularly killing whatever he can. He also plays with it before killing it, at one point batting at a bird that's back was broken whenever it tried to move.
My dogs also try to kill anything they can get ahold of, or at least eat it to find out what it is.
Edit: Didn't mean to put eat. He nibbles on it, but he never eats it.
I don't think that those animals are in full realization of what they are doing. A cat or dog can play with a smaller animal very much as it does with toys, without realizing that it causes pain.
Humans are different in that they are capable of realizing what actions can cause pain, yet still do it for entertainment and take pleasure in it.
And now for a quote from Mark Twain to further support my post:
''He man is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain...Also - in all the list he is the only creature that has a nasty mind.''
Interesting point, but dogs and cats are not the only animals that do it. Far more intelligent animals do it, and I am sure the animals are aware that they are causing pain to some extent.
Even if they don't, it doesn't matter. People have a right to hunt for pleasure, sport, or food.
