No . I have witnessed an animal commit suicide right in front of my eyes.

Now this was some 2 years back. I used to stay alone in 1BHK. And I was gifted a pack of imported chocolate.
So I kept it on my kitchen and went to work. When I return, I found my kitchen has been trashed. Almost all the chocolates , a pack of Milk powder has been tarnished. And there was rat poop everywhere.
I had to spend hours cleaning my kitchen. I did find that there was a hole in the kitchen window and I was sure they were getting in from there. SO i isntalled a net.

Unfortunately for me , the rat returned the next day. Since he couldn't have come from inside, it only meant that he is stuck inside.
I had only one option, to kill it or get a trap and take it out.

Unfortunately for me, there were no traps available nearby. The only thing that was available was a sticky trap.

What it does it, the base of the trap would be made of superglue. And it has a bait in it. So the mouse would try to get the food and his feet would get stuck. Very inhuman , but that was the only option I had .

So I bought it and set it. Waited for few hours and BAM! I heard it. Next thing I see is the rat stuck there . But it was alive and struggling to free itself. I was extremly grossed out and had no idea how do I pick it up and throw it out. While i was thinking about the options, I saw the mouse struggle. For about an hour. It tried and tried and tried. At the end it stopped moving, but was still alive.

I was still skeptical but I remember that I have two big rods and planned to pick it up and throw it out. As I was getting up, I saw it bury its face inside the superglue. Intentionally.

I didn't realise it then, but it hit me later that the animal just commited suicide.

aw man..i have trapped rats like hundreds of times in my house but they keep coming up as there is little piece of garbage adjacent to my building (yikesss).
I would leave them for 24 hrs or 48 hrs with very little or no food. Then I'll let them free at about 1 km from home into a pond. But I havent had such an encounter. While they're inside the wooden or steel trap, I play with them :evil: :twisted: .

Its mentioned as the description of "Fight Club".

Sometimes when I let the rats free , out of nowhere dogs would come up & cut the rats into pieces. Then I feel guilty :-(.

Are you depressed and want to commit suicide? And you in moral dilemma whether to do it or not? Contact some helpline or go to counselling, instead of wasting your time in this thread....

that's not what the suicide bomber feels. He is led to believe that the life after death is the real heaven. You get 72 houris and what not.

TBH, this generation are one of the biggest pussies ever. No one wants to man up and move on. The ****ing media has spoiled a whole generation of kids. People need to learn that failing in an exam is not important, not getting placed doesn't mean that you cannot find a job elsewhere or if a girl rejects you there are plenty of fish in the water. MOVE ON GODDAMNIT.....

Parents: beat your kids! It teaches them right from wrong, and thickens the skin. To clarify, I don't mean child abuse, just a whack on the hand when under 5, and basically correcting them and not giving into tears and tantrums. It sickens me the way kids are treated these days, and the spoilt brats who misbehave in public, lying on the floor, yelling, crying, acting out, while parents look helpless and do nothing. When I went out with my mum, I would dare not ask her to buy me something like sweets or toys or wasteful things. If she said no, it meant no, or else I got slapped in public. It taught me shame, humility, and most importantly, that just because I want something, doesn't mean I should demand it or expect it. Kids today are growing up being the apple of everyone's eye, and are treated like God's gift to mankind, and then cannot handle it later when reality bites and they find out they're just ordinary in the grand scheme of things.

Of course this is just one aspect, there are others who are abused and pressurised so much that failure doesn't seem an option to them. Regardless of whose fault it is, in the end, suicide seems natural to me. Mother Nature is finding a way to balance things out - survival of the fittest - in this case, the mentally tough. Overcrowding of cities, mass competition for every available spot or slot - on a train, in a bus, in your city, for job placements, admissions, to win over someone's heart, etc., is driving people insane. The ones who don't adapt are weeded out. This includes criminals as well, and crime will rise before we say enough is enough, and start getting rid of the criminals permanently. Or so we hope, unless the criminals remain all powerful and start weeding us out! ;)

@raabo I agree with u 100% ....nowdays these child abuse lectures are actually spoiling the culture...parents have no control on childrens...they cant beat him or he will suicide, cant scold him or he will suicide , cant say no to anything or he/she will feel bad and suicide ...WTF?? small things like not permitting to watch TV is enough to suicide ...

I am lone child and bit spoilt...but that doesnt mean I was out of control..I was never beaten, just scolded....but I could never dare to ask or object to my dad's decision...it was a matter of respect and love .

suicide in love is a different matter :D pyaar me log andhe ho jate hai ...mind stop working ....I will put that in exception ;)

Ya. Beating kids too much is too much. Sadly, been hearing news repeatedly that a child was beaten by his/her father/teacher/uncle to death :-( or injured seriously.

Looks like Darwin was right after all. Those who commit suicide never really deserved to live in the first place.

If fear of failure can be the drivers of suicide , how can they(who commit) not fear death? Any unnatural death will cause a lot of pain, how that doesn't stop people from ending their lives? And they are branded as cowards who couldnt face the reality of life but actually committing such a painful thing shows courage if you look at the physical level.

also now we have fast communication and media to hype it and spread news. so don't call this generation pu$$ies without proper backing and proof..
hell this generation is more courages ..

btw hundreds of thousands of people signing up go to mars permanently and not return.. well this is sort of suicide only.. LOL

how can you tell that suicidal tendency was less a thousand years back.. you can't unless you are a psychology expert.
just don't see social media and come to conclusion that this generation is pu$$ies..
prove that 1000 yrs ago generation were not pussies..
invalid comparison you hv made..

there is a proven fact.. people only see what they want to see and only see more of it to validate their views. and ignore contradicting evidence.

Indeed. The fear of pain and suffering will alone make you think several times before taking a step. Probably people go out of their mind and get obsessed with it beyond the limits where ending their course of life seems a fair alternative rather than suffering from the long time agony and pain.

They probably feel its better to suffer a moment of excruciating pain instead of tolerating a life full of torments and suffering.

To cut the story short it feels a quicker solution to those.
