Ghandi killed monkeys!

At crookedtimber, they quote Zizek calling Ghandi violent: "It’s crucial to see violence which is done repeatedly to keep the things the way they are. In that sense, Gandhi was more violent than Hitler."

Aside from being silly, this hides the non-metaphorical violence that Ghandi actually advocated!

Ghandi was ready to kill monkeys who went after his crops: “I do not hesitate to instigate and direct an attack on the monkeys in order to save the crops.” Ghandi told one of his friends that the friend had done no wrong in rounding up 60 rabid dogs. Ghandi said: “A roving dog…is a danger to society and a swarm of them is a menace to its very existence.” Similarly, Ghandi conceded that it is sometimes justified to kill humans: “At times we may be faced with the unavoidable duty of killing a man who is found in the act of killing people.”
