I've killed mice before. I've layed traps out, but my daddy, brother or braver sister would always take them out to the trash.

I put a sticky mouce trap out earlier tonight. I caught the baby mouse while I was typing on my labtop. I felt bad. I feel bad. The baby mouse has been squeeking since it got trapped. I feel like a murderer. I hate mice in our home, but I hate even more the idea of torturing this animal, rodent, what have you.

I looked up advice on the internet to help peel safely the mouse from the sticky glue but nothing will work according to the research. The glue is there to trap and kill.

The mouse I caught is trying tiredlessly to free itself from the glue. I pulled it up close to me to see if I could get it free but it's tiny feet are stuck. I could see its tiny heart beat.

I kinda feel like an animal murderer even though it's this rodent that my family has been trying to catch.

Next time I'll remember to NOT get the sticky glues. The little mice get tortured for hours if stuck in a trap. Ugh...I can still here it peep!

I can relate... :)
I hate rodents, but I got a mixed feeling when I have to get rid of them. My heart is broken seeing their tiny eyes looking straight at me in agony. Well, 80% of the time, I just threw them away, not killing them.

Just that is necessary. I know, that together we can come to a right answer.
