Just killed mouse with glue trap and PETA says I'm inhumane

[CKent]

Set it free ^_^

Dunno, I'm squeamish about killing mammals for some reason, even though I love eating them. Too much Disney as a kid maybe. Spiders, on the other hand... hairspray + lighter.

It's a mouse. I don't care what happens to it, if I worried about every death and injustice in this world, and there are plenty FAR more important than a mouse's life, then I would be a blabbering suicidal mess on the floor crying about the world. I will of course, never purposely to make a mouse suffer, nor will I choose to use a more painful way to kill it if there is a safer, cleaner, and more humane option available at the same price and effectiveness. However, nor will I go out of my way to make sure the mouse has a good happy life.

I'll never do a glue trap again. Spring traps FTW!

Agreed, quick and gets the job done right

Haha I've done worse to spiders. 120v anyone? I was quite the mad scientist as a kid when it came to electricity. I had made this device called "the zap table". It was basically a piece of cardboard with a foil surface, and a pencil with an electrode. I would put a bug on it and zap it to it's death. It would take a good minute to kill a caterpillar, spiders died instantly, or at least I thought so.. maybe they were just playing dead..... the ants in my sandbox enjoyed precooked bugs. Wow, I was so evil, now that I look back. Most kids were running around with Tonka trucks and tricycles, I was playing with 120 volts shocking things.

They multiply way to quickly for me to give a crap. They invaded my person space I will take care of that in the most efficient way possible.

N-n-n-n-NECRO

but yea, I kill the mice as needed. I’ve upgraded to outdoor bait stations to keep the population down around my house. Those little bastards destroy stuff way to ez.

the ones I’ve caught in glue traps end up in a shopping bag, then in the trash

Idiotic necro. Get a cat and the mice stay away. Otherwise let them free so the other predators get a meal.

i prefer putting out the poison

Isn't that a bad idea regardless of how one feels about cruelty to animals? There's a risk it will die somewhere out-of-reach, like under the floorboards, and start to stink and attract flies.

Also many other critters you might not want to make dead like to eat rodent-poison.

It’s possible, but you can reduce that chance.

regular house mice (with white bellies) are very common critters. They get all their dietary water from food. The poison is an anticoagulant and makes them very thirsty. Setup another bucket style trap that uses water and they may just go for it.

mice act really weird when the poison kicks in.

Yeah it was only a little dead bwahahah

He called you an "idiotic necro" ?? THATS a new one!

(Idiotic necro-BOT I would have run with!)

You sought out and joined a forum specifically to wave your dick around concerning your capacity to kill a creature that weighs 30g?

Don't let the door smack your rear-end on the way out!

Well since this was necro'd anyway, I strongly urge AGAINST using poison. It goes up the food chain, and kills or cripples owls, hawks, eagles, etc. Use snap trapsthey are cheap and kill quickly.

Yep.... still no such thing as a "better mouse-trap"!

I use, I think it's Victor brand, a electronic death trap. You put some PB in the death chamber where there are 2 metal plates. The mouse is forced to straddle the plate to get to the food and as soon as that circuit is closed, zap. Sweet dreams little mousey. Then the floor with the plates, which is hinged, drops away and deposits them in a tray that can hold maybe a half dozen tiny little corpses. Pull out the tray, dump, repeat. I got rid of a whole family of about 10 that way. But it's their fault. If they had never gotten into the under counter cabinets and ransacked my shelf stable "entrees," I never would have bothered them.

I tend to live and let live except when the sanctity of my home is at stake. And this is a completely humane way of dealing with them. They never know what happened and they die instantly.

When you say "zap" do you mean it's like a mouse electric chair?

Precisely so. I mean, I don't get to put a little metal helmet on them first but having the current go up the front paws and down the hind, that seems to be just as effective.

edit: and it's all battery operated. I guess it only takes a very small amount of current to zap them.

Whoops wrong thread!

We succesfully used a 'humane trap'. The problem then was what do do with the thing once trapped. Ended up releasing it in the grounds of a local church. Let God deal with it.

I'm going take a wild swing here and say it was one of those 'live capture' traps. I'm surprised you found the little guy alive. The one and only time I tried that, the mouse was very literally scared sh**less - then died, probably of a heart attack. It was really disgusting and I felt awful.

Even though this area of central NJ is about as suburban as you can get (green space. Um, sure, we got some of that), I think the mice are more of the country variety. You know, chewing on a long stalk of hay with a tiny corn cob pipe. They're not like those big city mice. When THEY get . . . arrested, they just ask for their lawyer and chill.
