Killing animals that are pests

[goodcatholic]

Buddhists in Thailand are expected to meditate in humid conditions and ignore mosquitos which bite them. Not allowed to kill a living thing.
I used a mousetrap to kill a mouse last night. It is the first time I have had to do it. He was destroying some of our possessions by gnawing through. It was a grisly find to see the dead mouse in the morning. I still feel a little sick. Then burying it in the back yard.

Sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind?

I will kill as many pests as I can! I’ll even kill plants if they’re causing trouble…

I have no problem eliminating vermin inside or outside, bu won’t harm the other wildlife.

But I have a pest reputation on here?

Gun toting Americans did come to mind, to be honest

So that is how Americans get rid of cockroaches and mice in their house?

I can imagine a standoff between you and the petunias in the backyard.

Yes, but not for a mouse. Well, maybe a six foot, radioactive, mutant mouse.

I’ve been having problems with a group of four radioactive turtles in my yard. Think they might even have a mutated rat with them…

vermin

that word makes me feel a lot less guilty now

 

[ZMystiCat]

Have you tried bringing them pizza as a peace offering?

 

[ShowersofRoses]

That was a good idea…but now they won’t leave!

A couple of months ago, we think our cat caught a mouse and killed it in our garage. My husband found it, dead. A few days later, another. Then my husband heard something in the wall one night. About 3:30 am I got up to get some water. When I came back, the cat had left me a mouse (dead) right where I had stepped out of bed earlier. It was his gift to me. Luckily, my son was up and heard me whining, and came and got it! He and my husband went outside with flashlights to find out how they were getting in. There was a hole where the electric came into our house and we guessed that was the spot. I gave them steel wool to cram in there for the night, and the next day, I cemented it up. Haven’t seen a mouse since.

So Ron, go out and look around and see how he got in and seal it up!

It is amazing, they get through the smallest holes.
