Anyone regreted killing a bunny?
I tried killing a bunny with a rock to eat it, then i managed to hit it *by luck obviously* and then all of a sudden an animation of me holding the bunny and 2 options... Kill or Not kill *basically*

I didn't think i would actually have to break the bunny's neck... I feel bad now ): poor bunny

Nope, regret is a sign of weakness and the weak will not survive.

Nope when you are in a survival situation ANY meat is a HUGE reward and must be celebrated accordingly! There is no such thing a "poor bunny" there are only meat sources.

I just get pissed off if I can't run up and break its neck before it wakes up and runs off!

Did you know the rabbit's gestation period is only a month? The litter will be 4-12 kits, and the mother can get pregnant again the next day.

Rabbits are a refilling buffet of food for predators. They know they will be eaten, it's why they "do it like rabbits"... to resupply the population with food.

If it wasn't you, it would've been a wolf. At least you gave it a quick death...and the bunny may live on as a mitten.

It helps to remember that if the tables were turned there's nothing that suggests that the rabbit would be merciful with you... remember the incident at the cave... remember the cave..

Agree with all survivalists, but i must admit, the devs sure made a "good" sound when snaping the bunnys neck ;/
But it is what it is, eather eat the animal or have it hop around on your starving body :P however i never kill any animal until i need to. And as Astralite said if you dont do it someone else will, i had a deer in front of the hut on TWM, had more then half a bear infront the door, so i didnt need more food atm. Said why hunt the deer, let it enjoy the sunny day ;) half a day later a passing wolf said why not hunt a deer and feast on a sunny day :D
Hiya. If you still feeling bad per se, wait for a wolf to kill the rabbit, kill wolf, get rabbit. Now you can eat both wolf and rabbit soup, steak or stew. Dont feel like killing rabbits or deers? Let the wolf kill them, then you kill the wolf.

Yeah I liked how they did it. It's kinda a mini moral choice, especially at the beginning when you've not killed anything yet.

But then over time you see wolves ripping the poor little blighters to bits and realise that they're also one of your best sources of food and suddenly the neck snap doesn't seem so bad.

I avoid killing bunnies unnecessarily (I.E. when I'm fat off of venison, fish and wolf meat) but a man's got to repair his rabbit mittens every now and then...
