I worked at a place where in order to get a promotion, management asked a question like "describe a time when you displayed initiative". It was a notorious question for weeding out people.

There was this guy, seemingly nice but a little slow, who put in for the promotion. A group of people - not including me - got together and tried to coach him on the questions.

He didn't get the promotion. He was suspended and referred to a psychologist.

Apparently he told a story about picnicking with his family and there was an annoying squirrel. He built a trap, tracked the squirrel, caught it and strangled it with his bare hands.

Apparently (and I confirmed this with a friend in HR at the time) he continued this practice when he got home and up until the interview.

He resigned and sued. Don't know the outcome.

that's a matter of philosophy and it is neither wrong nor right to view life as sacred. it boils down to your personal beliefs.

Please explain .
It was a very old horse. It had fallen down and couldn't get back up, was convulsing and clearly suffering. The owner decided the kindest thing to do was to shoot it, but given their emotional relationship with the animal, really didn't want to pull the trigger, so I did it for them. It was horrible.

Biggest thing I killed was a rat that snuck into my house. Caught it with a glue trap, took it to my backyard porch, and smashed it dead with a rod.

Most I've done is stomped on a rat that was already dying from poison.

I absolutely do not mean to criticize you or anyone about a situation I was not in, but why not call a vet or animal services to do the dirty work?

I went fishing a few times when I was a kid, but never learned how to clean/gut the fish.

I hit an armadillo on the way to work once - I swerved to avoid it, and it ran right in the path of my right front tire...CRUNCH.

The vet would have taken a fair while to get there. The horse was suffering and we had the means to stop that. It would have been better if there had been a vet readily available, but this was in a rural agricultural community in Wales and they aren't always able to come at the drop of a hat.

Fair enough. I can't stand to see living things suffer either.

I think I ran over an animal once, sometime last year, but it was dark and when I got home I didnt see any type of evidence so I just like to think it was a weird pothole or garbage or something.

Other than that, nah.... I dont think I ever have.

Where's the "I eat meat" option because if you eat meat then you're paying to have animals killed for you.

it's not relevant for my topic. I didn't include it because most people eat meat. I felt no reason to make a distinction. I don't eat meat though.
