When talking about an animal, which do you say?

Did you kill an animal or did you harvest one?

In the age of growing political correctness, I've noticed more and more hunters refering to what they do as harvesting animals.

For some reason it irritates me when people refer to it as a harvest though, because we aren't growing a crop, we're taking a life. Essentially, we're killing an animal.

Not trying to start an argument, though I'm sure someone will make it into one, so please, refrain if possible.

Which do you say?
