I walked into this room in my basement and right when i walk in the door at my feet was a small mouse caught in one of those sticky mouse traps. It just looked up at me with is beady eyes. I had to just walk out of the room before i teared up. I hate those traps, they are so cruel. I asked my brother to take care of it and he said he will soon. I just want the poor thing out of its misery since there really isnt anyway of getting releasing it from the glue. I just dont know a decent way to end its misery. Ah this is so sad, and i am telling my dad to get rid of those glue traps.
the best type of traps to use for mice called a 'tin cat.' the mouse goes into the the tin cat, and the door shuts behind it. the mouse is not hurt, and you release the mouse back out into the wild. one time mice were getting into my house. the first time i knew about, were when i found all three of the cats sitting on the floor together, each one eating a different mouse. i got that wire net replace the next day. i'm sure the cats were pissed off at me for keeping the mice out of the house.
There's a kingsnake that lives in the desert out behind my house. I see him occasionally in the early mornings. He keeps rodents away and also keeps rattlesnakes away. He's the best trap there is.
I hate glue traps. I don't understand how anyone could think these traps are humane. Ugghh. I have heard a lot of stories of other types of pets being caught in these traps too.
they used them tin cats in the hospital, I suppose a live mouse is cleaner then a dead one .. Never found one inside though
an alive mouse, sure in the hell, smells one hell of a lot better, then a dead mouse trapped between the walls, cooking in 90 degree heat for a couple of weeks!
Why not just remove the glue traps yourself? Sometimes you have to step up instead of whining about it and expecting someone else to do it for you.
My parents used to use those, too. I hate those damn things. Those poor mice would look up at us with those little frightened eyes and it would make me cry. I couldn't understand it. Their argument was "well, it's cruel, but it works"... Yeah, well drawing and quartering was affective as a way to prevent crime, but that doesn't make it okay.
Two days ago I noticed a little mouse in our basement. It was just sitting there at the bottom of the stairs. So I put him in a container and took him to a park across the street.
Those things are sickening...I remember hearing one scream in art class when I was little. I have no respect for people who would use somthing like that. If I were in your position...I'd try to release the poor thing from the sticky trap. I've saved many flys from sticky traps...lol, my boyfriend probablly thought i was insane. I used a make up remover, anything oil based might help get the hair free...
