Yes, I did put the birds out of their misery instead of allowing them to suffer. I don't have any hunting desire myself and I had a really hard time with it. I called a neighbor for moral support and she said they were probably in shock or coma and wouldn't feel anything either way.

Yes, he "kills" his toys by shaking them, and has tested high on prey drive. I've read the same thing, and believe the theory is true.
