Redneck mousetrap

[DREDIOCK]

I have no problem with killing of vermin. Whether it be insect mammal or people. But whether you did what you claim out of malevolence, or ambivalence, or whether you simply made it up to, in your mind, sound tougher to your percieved piers on a chatroom, nothing and no one deserve to die in terror and abject pain if it can be possibly helped.
I find your post abhorrent.

And I...Simply dont care

And I...Simply dont care

That is sad for you.

Through out all time a true hunter or warrior always has had remorse and respect for the necessary death he inflicts.

To simply not care about the suffering of life forms more vulnerable than yourself doesn't make you a man, just a monster.

Humane killing of mice

Chopping - Ok
Exploding -Ok
smashing - Ok
Throwing off of your porch onto the cement - Ok
Thowing off a cliff with a 10 second free fall - ahhh Ok
Dipping in full strength HCl - Bad
Thowing overboard in the middle of the ocean - Bad
Spinning wheel o death by drowning in slightly toxic liquid- Bad
Testing latest ED drug - Bad but necessary so we call this martyrdom
Releasing three cats in the neighborhood to kill by defleshing or blunt force submission - Bad but its Organic so Ok
Trapping in a inescapable container to starvation- Bad
Trapping in a inescapable container and exploding with 100 Black cat fireworks within a 2 hour window of being caught on the great day sacrificial acceptance- Ok

So we are feeling bad for mice now....

Lets see...Did mice help spread the plague?....Yes
Do mice spread contractible diseases?....Yes
Do mice spread urine and feces all over ones house?....Yes
Are mice despicable little creatures that need to be killed and their populations kept in check by any means necessary, without regard for wondering how they feel before they die, a hopefully swift and violent death?...Hell Yes

Now I am a very humane person...I don't like to see anything suffer...especially anything I am trying to kill...but by saying dude is a monster because he poured coffee on a rat to kill it  

I smash mice with my water meter tool every month...I go for the head...sometimes when I open a meter can and I don't have my violent meter tool of death, I have to use my channel lock pliers to smash their heads...either way I'm not getting the freakin hanta virus or any other kind of nasty disease the vermin can carry...

I have no remorse for killing rats...and if someone does, I promise, you wouldn't make it trying to live in the country...Probably the same type of people that call an exterminator to get rid of piss ants...

I've lived in the country my entire life, my grandfather was a shepherd, my father and his brothers poached for enough to eat when they were kids.I have served my country and have made sure the other guy has gone down  so that I get home. As a part of my job I routinely have to kill birds, almost on a daily basis, I also have to kill mice/rats and a variety of other vermin, when I do so I make sure it's with a single blow, or neck dislocation. Scalding something to death for no other reason than you feel like it would be intersting is below contempt.

Grew up on a farm.  Had to kill many animals.  Mice, rats, chickens, roosters (they go rogue from time to time), possums, raccoons, and so forth.

Never saw any reason to do it in an inhumane way.  Of course, time was of the essence anyway, so doing things quickly meant we had more time to relax at the end of the day.

    One of my roosters is starting to go rogue...keeps trying to kill my little chickens...he might have a date with a pot of Folders...I can't stand cheap coffee...

The problem I have is that I don't get out to my property but once a week at most, and it's out in a rural desert area with lot's of desert mice and hantavirus is a real concern in Arizona.

I am open to suggestions of some "humane" way for me to control the mice without having dangerous decomposing rodent bodies stinking up the place when I return in a week?

You could put both his eyes out and douse him in petrol then light it. After all it'll be fun to watch and who cares how it dies?

[NatCigg]

trapping a mouse to drown is now compareable to mutilation and torture for sport?

Death is sometimes necessary, cruelty is never necessary.

Catch em and send em to Drediock n NatCigg, they can jerk each other while torturing them.

 My mother inlaw used to have a horse ranch,she kept those hayburning arabs!

  One day she finds a groundhog in the ridding padock and thinks it's rabid. With good reason as it wasnt afraid of her or the horses. So she calls animal control to see if someone will come take care of it.

  They ask her if she has a gun,yes she had a 22 and they tell her to just shoot it. She tells them "Oh I could never do that" and then they tell her that no one can come out to her place as it's not in their area.

  So she sees the animal is now chasing after a horse,her horse and she gets a Tbar,the type used in fencing and clubs the groundhog over the head!  She then calls me to come look after it for her,when I get there I see a groundhog with a bashed it head and a bloddy Tbar and ask her why the heck she didnt shoot it,I got the same answer....Oh I couldnt do that....

  I said to her well then how did you manage to kill it then,I whacked it with the post,it was going after my horses......

I have no desire to inflict pain and suffering but if I set back breaker traps and then come back a week later it's going to be a toxic mess.

Working in an agricultural warehouse that had nothing but soybeans and/or wheat in it at all times, mice were our biggest nuisance.  The seed was packaged in large bulk bags and/or 1 unit paper bags (commonly misconception that it's a 50 lb bag).  The other seed companies and, mainly, Monsanto required that the bags did not have any holes in them and were for the most part clean.  Mice would run around the the pallets and chew multiple holes in the tops of bulk bags, have a soybean smorgasbord, and build their nests in the pallets.  This would not only expose us to the mice and their feces, it would also require us to re-bag the seed.  Now, it's hard to keep mice out of a 40+ year old warehouse (that's 100,000 sq/ft).  Not only do we have poison spread out about every 20ft on the walls, we also have the poison boxes at the base of every other support pole, AND we place tracking powder on the floor around every lot of seed.  Yet, with all these preventatives, we still fight the mice 

I say kill them all and stomp the nest in any way possible.
