At least it's not catching one in a non-lethal trap, driving out with your 8-year-old to the park field where you normally release mice, and flopping a tiny furry carcass onto the ground in front of your kid since it ended up stressing itself to death during the night.

Not exactly the way 8-year-old me had imagined that scene playing out.

Hah, that's terrible. 

The first time I got one in my non-lethal trap was when I was on vacation so it just starved/dehydrated to death, which was probably way worse than the kill traps I was trying to replace.

I might sound very dumb right now, but please bear with me me: There are non-lethal mice traps? Why? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of setting up traps in the first place? Or is it just because of people's conscious objections to killing animals?

[ChairmanPoo]

You can humanely get them out of your home.

Or feed them to your pet piranha I guess

I've got nothing against mice, I think they are cute.  I just don't want them pooping all over my apartment. 

If a person came into my apartment and pooped all over the floor I wouldn't purposely kill them either, I'd just try to move them to the park.

Mice can be problematic, rats however are a scourge upon bird populations among other things (as in pretty much all things).

So are humans!    And my goldfish, who I quite like.

I don't really care what other people do, I just prefer not to kill things if I can avoid it.

There are mouse traps that are nonlethal, and do not involve glue.  They just cost a lot.

They are basically mechanical segregation traps with a one-way turnstile.

[Magistrum]

Oh, that's pretty neat. Guess it us a regional thing. Here freeing a rat would just make it come back later or feed a snake on some of the abandoned overgrown lots.

Fuck the birds, that movie sucked

I imagine it did yes.

I mean, just considering the logistics alone...

[Kagus]

A wonderful start to the day consisting of convincing myself that the chick I caught inconvenient feelings for is just friendly and not actually into me, which devolved into attacking my own desirability in general and pointing out that it was inevitable.

Which, y'know, is nice when you're supposed to be making the best impression possible when going to an apartment viewing later while wearing your last clean shirt (which may or may not be missing a couple buttons).

[Castlecliff]

Haha we used to catch the mice in the traps and feed them to the magpies or the hawks. Fuck em. Fuck the mice. You humans are getting weak so fuck you too

[Egan_BW]

Every mouse that you release unharmed is another satisfying kill for some owl. Think of the owls, man.
