Do you think it is wront to shoot at small animals in your yard, like chipmunks and squirels and birds and stuff? Obviously not a horse dying of AIDS or your neighbors dog.

Because it makes the sport look bad I think its wrong... But at the same time i go shooting birds and chipmunks all the time with pellet guns... But i recently got a $40 fine for it so im not as enthusiastic about doing it

Well, it depends, really. If it's just Innocent 'lil things, that mean no harm, then no, I will call animal control on you.
If it's trying to eat your chickens and rape your pets, on the otherhand, then yes, you should shoot it.

yeah there is a fox in my neighborhood that has almost eaten my dog a few times (dog is only 10 pounds and hes not too bright) so i always leave my gun at the door so whne i let the dog out i can watch over him.
i dont buy the "it gives the posrt a bad name" crap. whos gonna see you shooting a chipmunk in your yard. i was talking about whether u guys think its serverly immoral or something

If you're not going to eat it, then it's wrong. At that point you should look into playing with your self to pass the time.
thepeashooter
06-24-2003, 04:02 PM
I already do that
Edit:
Personally I wouldn't shoot any animals like horses or cats with my paintball gun.. But I would shoot birds and other small animals.
I do care that it gives paintball a bad name but i dont care enough for it to stop me..
But since its really hard ot hit anything with a paintball gun I use my Pellet gun.. the only time i ever shoot at any animals with my paintball gun is when im testing it in my backyard and there's a bird on a tree branch or something which rarely happens
Yes im delusional and confused right now

of course it is wrong. what is the point of it anyways? is it fun to kill animals trying to make a home? what if a giant shot you with a giant rock? id be pissed. im disgusted that you even asked.

Yes its wrong, especially to shoot smaller animals, because if the shot doesn't kill them (which most likely it wont) it'll serverly hurt them and they'll just be left to suffer and die. Which is increadibly harsh. If you wanna shoot something.... go shoot a rhino, or an elephant. I doubt they'll mind a shot or two.

from my experience, cows usually don't give a crap if you shoot em a few times. Just make sure that nice moo moo over there doesn't have horns or a wanger, or you'll be practicing your game start sprint to a bunker... Also make sure the owner of said cow doesn't notice. I know it's almost on par with cow-tipping, but hey, it's funny to pick on enormous freaks of nature.

I think that it is ok to shoot something if you do it for a purpose, such as eating the animal or killing it because it is damaging your property. If I see a mole I will shoot it because they dig up my entire yard, but I don't go around shooting birds or other good animals. Although, I do shoot at dear when they are in my yard because they eat my plants and cause damage, a paintball just scares them away.

My neighborhood has evil cats that often fight my cats and one of my cats who doesnt have claws got a huge gash in her ear and if I ever find any of cat that isnt supposed to be near my house I will personally discipline it free of charge.
If it was easier to adjust my reg I would turn it down first.
Also Since my family only has a 2 car garage I have to leave my truck at the end of my driveway where a power line runs over it and I have to hose it down daily and if I was sure I could hit a bird without disrupting the whole neighborhood I would teach them to stay away from my truck, also free of charge.

Don't shoot at an animal unless it's wearing a mask!!! Sheesh, basic safety here!
Ok, on a serious note, if you want to scare away an animal, there's many other things out there less lethal to a small animal than a paintball gun. Ever heard of a hose? Works wonders on critters that you don't want around. Generally, making noise and approaching said critter will usually scare it away.
My opinion - Not fair to shoot at the animals unless they can shoot you back.

I have friend who shoots at anything that moves? He sucks and can't hit crap though. I've shot at bugs an insects and stuff. I've never taken a gun to a rabbit or squirrel, plus i doubt i could hit them. I did shoot a rat though and that thing was tough, and i had to put it out of its missery. I hate rats, but not the ones that shoot back(impulse).

depends on the animal. And if its to defend yourself(like a bear, alhtough who would be stupid enough to disturb it anyway), then it might be a good idea to shoot it. But it is very bad and gives paintball a bad name. If its a bug or something, thats diffrent.

if you think that shooting a rabbit or a squirrel with a paintball is going to kill it you must be an idiot.
their bones are about as big as my finger bone, and ive been shot in the finger many times and its never broke. animals have adapted to be tough and live in harsh environment. (i'd like to see you sleep outside all winter and live in a tree). shooting an animal is no worse than shooting a person, and if your going to whine about every time something goes wrong with paintball that might "give it a bad image", you should sell your gear and quit the sport. im surprised no one in this thread has complained about shooting trees because "their living things" or "oh no look a at all the paint were polluting the world with!" honestly people, saying that shooting an animal with a paintball that will cause a temporary "ouch" gives the sport a bad name is like saying that shooting an animal while hunting gives the sport a bad name. shooting an animal seems more human than shooting a human being that actually has feelings and thoughts.

If you recall the original paintball guns were designed to "mark" cattle. Therefore it's not at all suprising that a cow would not take much notice at being shot with one.
Year ago, we were playing on private land and came upon a rattlsnake. A couple of players shot it repeatedly and stunned it. This gave me time to run back to my car and grab my real handgun.

Ah now velocity is a key issue in this argument.
A ball going 50 fps at 50 feet away probably wont even break and may just roll at your target.
And a car coming only going 20 mph or 30 mph probably wont give u anything but maybe some cracked ribs and some internal bleeding.
IM TALKING 400 FPS BABY!

Read his post again. Notice the words "for fun". BB guns are not for killing anyway, they are for target shooting. And regular guns are not used for killing "for fun"...at least by normal sane people whose parents weren't related BEFORE they got married. Just becuase we kill to survive doesn't make it ok to just shoot whatever you want whenever.

Are you ignorant? Besides, shooting a rabbit with a paintball would be about equal to hitting you with a paintball the size of a softball, not pleasant. I didn't realize that you were able to read the mind of animals and can tell that they don't have feelings and thoughts! Don't be a retard. Shooting people is different for another reason, those people happen to be participating in the game. Grow up.

A paintball marker is USED to play paintball, not to shoot animals, no I am not an idoit. Your bones are very different from a tiny animals, take bio and look at their skeletal system, there larger bones are the size of our fingerbones, but their other bones are very thin. I would be like me throwing rocks at you, or shooting them at you for that matter.

i shoot at animals in my backyard sometimes... always at range! ..... birds dump on everything and squirrels mess with my dog and eat all my garbage/garbage pails. plus its mad good target pratcice, aiming for very small fast moving target.
however, i do not shoot any animals owned by other people because i see that as destruction of property and i wouldnt like it my dog came in all colored either....

Put it this way, these animals were here before us, WE invaded on their turf. Everyday I see more and more housing developments being put up. These animals are not a true threat to you, they aren't invading your house, they are simply doing what they do. Birds don't have toliets to depose their waste in, squirrels will go through trash yes, but so will someone elses cat, or dog. So you will shoot a squirrel because it is not someones property? Come on. Paintball MARKERS are used to play paintball, they are not used to "hunt" or used as a way to elminate a pest as you all seem to see it. Animals shot with paintball markers may not die right away, they suffer. Why? because of your ignorance. You people have serious issues and maybe should get them checked out.

i kno its bad and i barely do it... but whenever i do it... its slow and from vvvvvery far away, with the paintballs (not alot) bouncing off the trees. i do it to try to scare 'em away, not to intentinally hurt (i have alot of woods behind me)

It doesn't matter from how far or how many balls are shot, its just sick. You have the intellect to post in this forum, a paintball forum, you should be able to post about paintball topics. Shooting animals for fun is not paintball, its a sick hobby and many of you seem to like it. So go ahead, keep doing what you are doing. I am glad I don't know any players like you all, because you are not paintball players, your are kids who have nothing better to do other then to kill.

Ever caught a fish? even if u threw it back, u stabbed it with a metal hook and ripped it from its home for your enjowment.
are these thigns immoral? just because you are doing it to a diffeerent animal does not change the morality of it. if you cans ay that you think all of these things are immoral, and that you dont do them, then good for you. if you cannot, than you are a hypocrit

bb/pelltet guns r more lethal than pb guns. people shoot animals with bb guns all the time and you dont see bb guns getting banned....also if my little dog can get whacked in the head with a car door and not notice, i dont think a paintball will do much do animals rat size and bigger.

The only hope I have is that the people who think shooting animals is ok will be reincarnated and come back as that animal in the next life. Then we'll see what they think about it.
Bottom line here's the thing:
1) If you are using it as self defense, then yea use whatever you have to in order to preserve your life or someone else's.
2) If you use it to scare off critters, well a paintball gun shouldn't be your first choice. Use your head and think of something a bit more effective that will scare that critter off. Again, a garden hose works wonders.
3) If you use a paintball gun to intentionally inflict pain or death on another animal just for "fun", well that's outright wrong and you aren't responsible or grown up enough to own a paintball gun. If you like inflicting pain, then stop playing paintball and go learn dentistry.
Last thought - I'd be curious too see how age factors in to these opinions. For the most part younger kids do stupid things without really thinking about the consequences of their actions. Not to say there aren't adults who don't do that, and not to say there aren't younger kids who aren't responsible. I'm just saying for the most part "mature" people generally know the difference between right and wrong.

Because our back yard is almost all dirt, and I try to smooth it out so the lawnmower doesn't get stuck and fling rocks or dirt clumps and hit the house or break a windw and the friggin squirrels are always digging up my back yard. It pisses me off.. So I take my pellet gun with a scope and load it up, pump it, and shoot them... haven't killed one yet, with a PB gun OR a BB gun... hell i've never killed a squirrel in my life.. I got my first deer before i got my first squirrel lol:)

I agree, about not using paintballs guns to scare away animals. We should all just load up our shotguns and blow them away permanently. If we all did this we wouldn't even be having this discussion right now. LOL.
Not that I would ever do something like this.:rolleyes:

Are u saying you havent hit them or they havent died from their wounds?
If that is so you need to use the lead pellets.
Saw a friend do it once, but good lord is there a lot of blood.

Ever caught a fish? even if u threw it back, u stabbed it with a metal hook and ripped it from its home for your enjowment.
are these thigns immoral? just because you are doing it to a diffeerent animal does not change the morality of it. if you cans ay that you think all of these things are immoral, and that you dont do them, then good for you. if you cannot, than you are a hypocrit
Here it goes since you requested it.. Yes sometime in my life I have killed a few insects, by choice no <flame me> . I would not even think about shooting insects with my paintball marker. Spiders catch them and put them back outside. I do not fish, I don't find enjoyment in trapping animals. I do not hunt, I am not a vegetarian. Any other questions you would like to ask me? I don't go around looking to kill things with my time. ( does that sum it up?)

Oh btw: Yeah I might kill an insect or a few a day only because they are pretty hard to see you know being I do not look down when I walk, so I can hardly be blamed for that.

wootwoot, if you honestly try not to kill insects or spyders or stuff like that, than we have nothing to talk about, because the we have such different views on morality and lifestyle, that arguing will not chnage anything. you and i cannot meet at any middle ground, so any more discucssion between the two of us yields pointless flaming. peace

I think people who shoot animals are sick and disgusting i think that if you do that you should be takin out back and shot in the head with a shot gun. No one has the right to take an animals life away for their amusement

Oh, come on people...
I kill for fun... but don't think its entirely heartless. I generally try to aim for animals that detroy crops or livestock. Crows, prairie dogs, ect. I dont shoot them with my paintball gun, no way. .22lr or .22 WMR usually do the job right, or a pellet gun.
You still think im a psychotic, sick ******* that enjoys watching little critters die, so be it... you may even be right.
I'd like you to try to drag me out to the street with a shotgun, you'd end up with 20x the firepower aiming back at you...
Anyways, I found this website on a similar thread/topic in a different forum, I believe some of you anti-kill peace and love ones might enjoy: www.dogbegone.com , and click on the video's page.
P.S. If you think that site is terrible, read up on what diseases P-dogs carry and what they do to livestock and farms. My personal opinion is you people need to open your eyes more, toughen up, and get the facts right.

If a bird pooped on me, I'd take a shower
If a squirrel bit me, I'd get tested fro rabies quick
If a dog bit me, I'd smack it on the head and be done with it

There are a few grouses that make my local field their home. We leave them alone.
A guy started unloading on one last year and laughing hysterically and a ref walked up and punched him.
There's no point in shooting an animal with a paintball gun. Period.
If a bear is chasing me, I'm not going to bother shooting it. If Jason has a machete and is walking towards me, I'm not going to bother shooting...it? (In Friday the 13th #4 or something he cuts off a nerdy paintballers head in one swipe...)
I chase cats that get into my moms garden and hiss violently at them but never actually hurt them.

I think that Fignewt guy was dropped on his head or something to that extent....thats just disgusting and im glad Magnus kicked him of the site!!! And also to whoever created this post...the question is possible the dumbest thing ive ever heard, and im pretty damn sure that you know the answer for it...i aint a hippy tree hugger or a nature nut but try and keep paintballing on the feild....some people have gave this sport a bad name and maybe thats why its getting banned in states...:| :|

well it says its wrong to shoot animals on the label, but thats how we trained our little dog, she always got loose and ran around in the streets, so we said "heck with it" and took out my ol' trracer and turned it down to bout 150 and shot her once, she has never ran away since.:)
