I'd imagine the mouse could chew through the thin plastic in no time, making this trap useless unless you're watching it all the time.

[–]yetiman223 128ポイント129ポイント  (10子コメント)

Can confirm. I own pet rats and I put a frozen bottle of water in their cage to cool em down. They just chew through it and get their cage all soaked.

Rodents. Idiots the lot of em.

[–]penlies 145ポイント146ポイント  (204子コメント)

I bought humane traps once because my daughter made me. So in wanders an entire fucking family of mice, mom, dad, babies... all stuck in there. So now i have this trap and what the fuck do you do with it? Let them go a a few houses down so they come right back? No I ended up just throwing them in a bucket of water cause I couldn't figure out what to do with them.

TLTR; just kill them.

[–]ZeroXephon 30ポイント31ポイント  (8子コメント)

I owned rats. Best way to put them down is to put them in bin with a smaller bin of dry ice with some water in it. Wait for the gas to build up and drop them in. Painless, least stressfull way to go. I miss my pet rat, dude was chill. For those wondering why I put him down, because he was riddled with cancer and was suffering.

[–]lazerfloyd 48ポイント49ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ah yes the Mousewitz approach. Did you transport them there on your model train set?

[–]Deep_Rights 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes, but just one car attached. Smushed them all into the one car.

[–]gastroturf 6ポイント7ポイント  (5子コメント)

Are you kidding? CO2 asphyxiation is incredibly painful.

[–]ZeroXephon 9ポイント10ポイント  (3子コメント)

As long as you preload the camber with co2 and dont have the dry ice accessable to the animal its fine. Euthanasia via co2 is painfull if there the co2 content is below 20%. If its high the animal will expire in 1-2 minites effortlessly and painlessly. You can use baking soda and vinigar or co2 cartridges as well. Now the American Veterinary Association frowns on using dry ice because its hard to control the %. However if you let the dry ice sit in there for a a while its pretty hard to screw it up. Google how to use dry ice for euthanaizing rats, plenty of people do it.

[–]king_of_the_universe 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Do you have a link saying that a very high amount of CO2 in the lungs is painless for humans? Because too much CO2 is what causes the asphyxiation pain (for humans). I have no idea if it works differently for various animals. If you'd have a link about the painlessness for animals, that would be great, too. /Office Space

[–]heidihoffmann 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm not advocating for it, however, I fucking hope it's painless. I used to work at a local pet store and that's what the owner did with feeder mice/rats before packing them up in the freezer for sale.

[–]king_of_the_universe -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

I thought so, too - based on how it works for humans. Don't know how various animals work there. For those who don't know: When you hold your breath, the pain building is not from absence of oxygen but from too much CO2. The CO2 is a byproduct of the body that needs to be disposed of. If the pain were from oxygen, I assume that the evolutionary use would just be the same, it's just that what evolution "decided for" was CO2 sensitivity.

Get a cat. It's the circle of life, and even if the cat is (like mine) generally too slow and doesn't kill them when it catches them, they decide it's easier to hit up other houses.

[–]SuitableDragonfly 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Unless it's like my cat, who's only interested in them up until the point when they stop moving, at which point he just leaves them strewn around, half-dead and unable to move. That's no good.

[–]TheAntiPedantic 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think most well-fed cats do this. It's a present or to teach you how to hunt, too.

I like it when my cat acts as a deterrent. And when he eats bugs. I like that.

[–]Mobiasstriptease 20ポイント21ポイント  (0子コメント)

I usually drive all of 5 minutes away from my house and let them go in some field somewhere away from houses.

[–]cady_heron 26ポイント27ポイント  (159子コメント)

You can release them further away instead of killing them. If you're going to kill them, at least do it humanely.

[–]penlies 65ポイント66ポイント  (158子コメント)

They come back.

What is a humane way to kill something? Buy them a drink first?

[–]FraggleRoq 85ポイント86ポイント  (128子コメント)

Quickly, and without pain or distress.

[–]penlies 31ポイント32ポイント  (123子コメント)

First question is why? What difference does it make?

Second question, is there a way to die that isn't stressful? Maybe while getting a blow job or something but outside of that dieing pretty much sucks.

Third, how on earth can I gauge what would stress out a mouse? Is poison or a trap that snaps it's neck better or worse? How should I know that?

Is it the physical pain you are concerned with or the psychological? If psychological how do we know a mouse is self aware enough to have psychological torment or even understand pain the way a human does?

Now see how existential we have gotten over a fucking mouse, our time is better spent finding a cure to cancer and just killing the little fuckers.

[–]TrepanationBy45 125ポイント126ポイント  (6子コメント)

FINE, /u/penlies, JUST FUCKING STOMP THEM WITH YOUR LOAFERS.

[–]uv0001 20ポイント21ポイント  (3子コメント)

[–]MrFlabulous 17ポイント18ポイント  (10子コメント)

OK, the two methods of culling vermin (poison vs trap):

Warfarin thins the blood. It's great for preventing stroke. And usually it wouldn't kill, except that rats and mice are constantly squeezing through tiny gaps, causing microscopic ruptures in the capillaries. Ordinarily not a problem, but if your blood doesn't clot it causes massive haemorrhage (sp?). Bleeding to death is actually a minimum stress way to die.

Neck snap (cervical dislocation) is a recognised humane method of killing in most of the world. Aside from a lot of reflex convulsing, twitching and so on death is very rapid indeed. Usually it's done in combination with concussion or stunning so that the mouse or rat is unconscious (to minimise stress, of course). Without the stunning there is a few seconds of pain, terror and distress.

On balance, warfarin poisoning is probably less stressful and more humane, essentially the animal will go into shock, then fall asleep, then die.

[–]fattycat23 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

The thing about the traps that snap is that it'll just snap when it's triggered, doesn't matter what triggered it. So it's not very often that you'll get a clean snap on the neck or the head; leaving the rat to either starve out because it's leg is trapped, or bleed out internally from it snapping on it's body.

[–]Whazajottom 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Looks at username, Looks like i have found my mouse trap.

[–]MrFlabulous 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's an excellent point. Yes, traps can actually cause a great deal of pain, distress and harm without actually doing the right thing (killing outright). So another argument in favour of warfarin.

[–]penlies 1ポイント2ポイント  (6子コメント)

That is actually helpful, appreciated.

[–]REALbwGHOST 8ポイント9ポイント  (5子コメント)

[–]penlies -5ポイント-4ポイント  (1子コメント)

If it makes you feel better I give less of shit about you...

[–]FraggleRoq 44ポイント45ポイント  (60子コメント)

First question is why? What difference does it make?

Would you rather be tourtured to death or die peacefully in your sleep? That's the difference.

Second question, is there a way to die that isn't stressful?

See option 2 above.

Third, how on earth can I gauge what would stress out a mouse?

Mice are mammals. It's a pretty safe assumption that mice will find certain situations stressful, as we would. Being set on fire, for example, would cause a mouse distress.

Is it the physical pain you are concerned with or the psychological?

Physical pain, of course.

Now see how existential we have gotten over a fucking mouse

You, got existential. Ain't no we about it.

I'm sure dying in a massive panic while grasping for air and filling your lungs with water is a great way to go. /s

You could literally end them a million other ways that would be faster.

Or you know, if you're a nice person I guess you could drive out to a country road and leave them in the tall grass

1) Buy a gun

2) Buy lots of tannerite

3) Place mice in humane trap over lots of tannerite.

4) Stand at a safe distance.

5) Aim at tannerite

6) Send those rat bastards off with a bang.

God forbid a fucking rat suffer.

When did we all become such fucking pussies that we give two fucks what some animal feels? What is wrong with everybody? Animals are not people, not even your fucking dog. Its affection for you is an inherited trait for survival, it's not real, stop trying to replace human affection with artificial facsimiles. /rant

[–]SuitableDragonfly 10ポイント11ポイント  (2子コメント)

Some of us have (or do) own rats as pets. Would you care about your pet suffering? I bet you would. Having some empathy for animals is normal.

[–]yeahcapes 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

They honestly don't seem like someone who would (or should) have any pets. On the other hand, as someone who cannot have children, it really hurts reading that I'm looked down upon for essentially trying to make up for that with "artificial facsimilies".

[–]SuitableDragonfly 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Honestly, I don't know how pet affection could be considered "artificial" (which usually means "created by humans") or somehow less real than human affection. If it is an "inherited trait for survival", so what? Human affection for other humans is too, as is probably affection in every social animal.

[–]penlies 22ポイント23ポイント  (19子コメント)

Oh so like a fucking mouse trap that snaps it's neck?! So maybe they should label THOSE humane instead of the ones that trap it thereby educing panic?

[–]NexusChummer 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

If most people would use "humane" traps only to kill the animals slower than via neck snap, then yes. But normal people buy humane traps to not kill the mouse instead of killing it slower. A lot of people also forget about the trap and the animals die even more painfully, but that's another topic.

[–]StakDoe 20ポイント21ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's not humane enough, you need to set the mouse family up with steady source of income and make sure the job comes with full benefits and a 401k. Make sure the rat hole is in a good school district and the crime is low on that end of town. Then maybe take them to Ikea so they can own full sets of furniture. How do you expect them to live without the babies having bunk beds that can't double as an office area. YOU MONSTER!

Fuck that, they eat shit and piss everywhere and I'm suppose to walk my happy ass a half mile away just so more can do the same thing. These people would probably cry over dead mosquitoes. Snap the neck and end their shit, their last thought will be "oh food" SNAP! If I was eat shitting and pissing in someone else's house I'd be okay with that conclusion. "Aw man large pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni" SNAP!

Its your house handle them how you want.

[–]done_holding_back 5ポイント6ポイント  (9子コメント)

They're labeled humane on the assumption that you aren't going to use their captivity to be inhumane. If you're throwing them into a bucket of water, then yes, snapping their neck is more humane. The product is only as inhumane as you make it.

Is this not all common sense?

[–]Rickyjesus 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

They're labeled humane so they can charge more for the traps.
