Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just my two cents: As annoying as these pests are, I just can't support killing them, and especially in such an inhumane way! ############ I couldn't agree more, but mice carry disease and we don't need to open ourselves up to this. Letting them go allows them to come back into the house. It just does not work. I had a mouse that could climb up on the counters and I trapped it. Very quickly. I am finding something that looks like droppings but am not sure. We use lots of seed in our salads and such. I'm on alert for this critter if it indeed exist. When I watched the U-Tube on the plague of mice in AUS I was stunned. Nobody should have to put up with that. Ever. I use P-butter and trap them, I have pets and can't use poison.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Humans carry far more disease than mice ever could - our food carries more disease than a mouse ever would - the mice I have here are field mice, they are about 1" long and when I let them go it is at least a km away - they don't come back. We either respect creatures and choose not to kill them or we make excuses and kill everything we can in case they carry disease - somewhere - mice, bush rats, cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, ants, spiders, snakes - perhaps we should start taking a second look at some of these doctors and specialists and hospitals we find killing our brothers and sisters? If they poison us and maim us but we still tolerate them - then where are our priorities? We kill the little creatures that bug us - and we bow down to the bigger creatures that slaughter us? Really - some of you may see it differently - but to me - aint that just the truth?
