The only living creatures that I dispose of now are Bofu frogs. If you don't know about them, they secrete a poison that dogs tend to lick which is fatally toxic to dogs. So whenever I see one in my backyard I put a .177 pellet into the head and throw it into the street for another predator to eat. Otherwise I don't harm any other living creatures besides insects.

I find it interesting how we value certain animals but not others. Not saying it's wrong or right I kill a ton of bugs, just something I think about when squishing an ant for no apparent reason.
As for me I can't recall ever hitting anything on the road bigger than maybe a bird or lizard. So it's probably the hog I shot last year. I felt kinda bad, mainly because the place my friend took us for the "hunt" ended up being more like a petting zoo than an actual hunt. He was tasty nonetheless.
