Well, when it comes to rabbits... First you gotta dangle it upside down with your free hand. Naturally, it's going to struggle. So you've gotta calm it down my stroking its back with the stick from the tail to the ears. After it's calm and relaxed and not struggling anymore, you smack it nice and hard right at the base of the back of the skull. If you hit it hard enough, it won't feel a thing. However, if you don't know what you're doing and you don't hit it hard enough, it won't kill it. The rabbit will freak out, start screaming (rabbits do scream, and it's a horrible sound), and struggle a lot, making it very painful and very hard to put it out of its misery.

But I digress...

Mind you, this was for survival training. If I'm ever stranded in not-so-friendly territory with little or no means of survival, I'm not going to think twice about whether my survival is more important than some tasty, juicy critter's "feelings."
