Great comedy replies - superb, especially Nickf's threesome of cats.
The whole live and let live thing is not the best approach even though it appeals to my humane side. Mice carry all manner of diseases such as salmonella which isn't that good for us, as I'm sure most know.
Weil things...
I didn't read but I did look at the pictures 😆
i caught one with a classic trap baited with peanut butter. there was no way i was releasing it alive, but it was only caught by the tail in the trap. I chucked the trap including mouse in a bucket of water to drown it. mouse climbed onto the floating trap and stood there looking at me...i then had to get a broom handle and hold the mouse under the water til it's last breath came out of its little mouth.
that may well be an offence under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, any animal becomes a 'protected animal' when it is 'under the control or man whether on a permanent of temporary basis'. And if it suffers unnecessarily as a result of poor practice in the use of the trap, or through a failure to release or kill the animal in an appropriate manner, then an offence of causing unnecessary suffering under section 4 of the Act may have been commited.
