  “Do you care how a mouse dies in your house, as long as it dies?”

  All I really care about at this point, is seeing the PETA protest. I LOVE me a good naked PETA protest.

  I’ve been feeding a tiny little field mouse that lives under the English Ivy along our garden wall, in hopes that he’ll stay out of our house, and one day lead me to the magical underground kingdom where animals talk and wear little waistcoats and monocles and things. So far, no such luck.

  Aack!!! When I saw that overblown Minnie Mouse on that giant glue trap, I wanted to have her move on over to my house. Since I have become a pet orphan, in particular a cat orphan, I have a very daring brazen mouse that climbs all over my kitchen, leaving little presents everywhere. I’m the first in line to say I don’t care how he dies, as long as he just DIES. I would prefer that he take his dead little body outside and bury himself. She can protest on my kitchen floor all she wants! Have at it.

  Good grief. Who cares???? Exactly what good is a mouse?

  Go toadman, I agree the only good PETA protest is a naked one. Where do they get off plopping a medicore looking clothed model on a mouse trap anyway. PETA has a diminishing standards problem and seems as though its on its way out. What are they protesting anyway. Next they will want to make it illegal to step in Dog Sh**.

  I don’t mind the old-fashioned bait and smack traps - I’ve used those for ages and they seem like a swift way to deal with indoor rodents.
  Glue traps, on the other hand, I find cruel.
  I mean, what are you supposed to do? Wait for the mouse to starve to death? Seems like that could take some time…

  I would prefer they don’t die in the house given the number of times I’ve grabbed a corpse while reaching to the back of a closet. But since the kitties seem to prefer bringing their furry toys in and letting them loose, I hope they dispatch them fairly quickly and get rid of the corpse themselves. If I had to set out a trap, I wouldn’t bother with the glue ones, an old fashioned snap trap would be my preference.

  I do have glue traps, but they are for catching the things with too many legs in the cupboards under the kitchen counter and hubby is in charge of checking those.

  Um…when will Lowe’s begin carrying the bikini girl glue traps? I want one (and I promise I won’t let her die after I catch her).

  Aliasjax, I think Craigs list beat Lowe’s to the punch as far as glue girl. Great post

  Strictly catch and release, at my house. (:

  “Do you care how a mouse dies in your house, as long as it dies?”—I’m not too keen on PETA’s method of anthropomorphizing animals to make their points. But I also think there’s something to karma and therefore utilize more humane methods than glue traps. Frankly, I like the tried and mostly true cat method. And yes Jeanie, rodents have tremendous value. They are a necessary part of the food chain and do much to promote a healthy ecosystem.

  I didn’t see any bikini-clad women dressing as marmots when the rodenator was in town…

  We’ve never had a mouse in our house and with Milo’s arrival, I doubt that we will.

  So I want to know if the PETA gals next stop is gonna be the cathouse. Cause you KNOW how cats kill mice. Hurt ‘em a little. Let ‘em go. Catch again. Torture a little more. Repeat about twenty times till the thing dies of a heart attack.

  If the PETA girls visit the cathouse, I want to be at that event… I’d like to discuss meat with a few of those girls

  We do the old fashioned mouse trap thing. We tried decon once - until one of the buggers died under the fridge - oh the smell when the fan came on - and we couldn’t find it either it was moving WITH the fridge when we pulled it out. Ughhh.

  I’m not really a cat person, but I might consider it if they REALLY keep the mice away?

  Cats really keep SOME of the mice away - note that it doesn’t say all mice.
  Cats also bring half-dead mice inside to play with (probably because before mentioned cats are too over-fed to be hungry) and then let run under couches and behind book cases.
  I’d be totally happy if the mice just stayed outside. I’ve tried explaining that to mice - and cats - but they don’t seem to listen.

  the whole trick with cats is to keep them just a little hungry if you want them to catch mice. You don’t want to starve your kitties, but leave them just hungry enough to want a rodent for dessert….

  Peta girls staffing a cat house, wow, sounds like folks want to bring back that Silver Valley Tradition.

  I’m with Sis. Lately he is has been right on the money, at least for me. I would find some way to release it back to where the hawks and owls would find him for a meal. It’s not up to me to make that decision. Life is precious at all levels. I take all beings out to be released, from bees to spiders and such. Who am I to make the decision to kill things because I don’t like them. I don’t even step on ants. I find a way to let them live their lives, however short it may be.
