Mouse traps. The one I set last night caught a mouse by the base of the tail, injuring but not killing it. The poor thing probably suffered for hours. I took it outside and killed it, but now I wish I'd put on heavy gloves and attempted to release it instead. Although it was bleeding, and maybe would have suffered more.

ReplyDeleteIndeed. My son gave me a couple of humane traps, but I can't figure out how to open them to release the mouse. I figure it's important to know how to do this before using them.
