The purpose of this study is to investigate how contemporary college students perceive destroying living things. In Study 1, an attempt was made to make a scale incorporating factor analysis of various items concerning destroying lives. The result extracted three subscales: "brutal destruction for play", "destruction for human living", and "destruction for educational practice". In Study 2, we examined relationships between the three subscales and student past experiences. Results showed that the three subscales had correlations with "wild play experience" and "experience of gathering food". In Study 3, the scale of destroying lives was completed, and the correlation with human living experience and their sense of life value were investigated. The results showed that experience of keeping a pet worked negative toward "brutal destruction" and "dissection". Also, "field play experiences" and "experiences in home" worked positive toward "dissection".
