I have just seen in a pound shop some awesome mouse and rat traps.
They are effectively cardboard tunnels with very strong glue on the
internal "walk-way".
It says on the packaging - please dispose of any caught animals
humanely!!

It is not humane to leave them stuck to the trap for hours/days.


How is it humane to stick them to anything for any time at all? I am
surprised they can be imported. I dare say someone should alert the
RSPCA. What sort of cnut would stock them?


Sure. Poison them and let them die in agony instead.

Good grief. A mouse has little imagination really..and probably zero
sense of time.

It will try pulling itself free, till it gets tired out, then lie there
waiting for whatever comes next.

SPLAT!
