Default Wives and mice

Much better to kill them quickly than catch them and make them die a slow
and stressed death by using so called "humane traps"



I couldn't agree more.


A colleague of mine tells the story of when his dad caught a mouse every
night in a humane trap, and released it on wasteland at the end of the
road. After a few days he got suspicious, and marked the back of one of
them with a magic marker. Sure enough they were catching the same one
each time.
