Man do you know what a cat does when it catches a mouse? it plays with it, and tortures it, I seen dogs do the same thing with cats, should we punish the animals, in fact, I mean the mouse is dead, it dont care a bit now, yet you want the human to have a pitifull life, why should a mouse be treated better then human? Im am totaly amazed at you guys

I don't think anyone is rejoicing that the man's home burned down. I'm certainly not.

There is a big difference between a cat or dog that kills a mouse cruelly and a human that callously tosses a mouse into a fire. Those animals certainly can't be held accountable because they are driven by base instinct. The man in this case couldn't be bothered to at least kill the mouse instantly, painlessly. His complete lack of compassion taught him a costly lesson.

Right back at you, you heartless so and so. Just because cats kill mice doesn't make it right for humans to throw them into fire while still alive.

So, I see a mouse, I cant torture it because it would be "inhumane" So I buy a cat to do the job, and that isnt inhumane anymore

ok I see how you operate now

You call me heartless, fine think what you want, but I think your heartless for wanting the guy to be punished after his house burned down

Cats and dogs lick thier butts. Should we start doing that too? We know better than to torture a defenseless animal. Why would you inflict pain on another living creature when you know it isn't necessary?

The reason cats torture their food to death is that their skill in hunting is vital for their survival, and by maiming prey, then releasing it, they give themselves a chance to practice their hunting skills. This is why cats will bring you dying mice, by the way: they are treating you like a kitten. The part of a cat's brain that wants to hunt is entirely separate from the bit that wants to feed, which is why if you feed a cat, it will still play with the ball on the fishing line.

his house burned down but his health remains as it was, yet he needlessly threw a mouse on a fire which presumably died, what's wrong with you that you can't see this is wrong?

I hope it's not the way you operate that you see no problem with the old man's behavior.

ok, so If Im getting this right, you think that the human should punished healthwise, because he punished a mouse healthwise. With people like you, soon it will be againts the law to set a mouse trap. What about the mouse trap that you buy, that traps the mouse live, and the mouse starves to death, you can buy that at walmart, should everyone be punished who buys one of them? at least in a fire, it has a quicker death, rather then a slow death, days of suffering.

I still am totaly amazed that this is even a discussion

That's right. Burning to death is one of the worst ways to go I hear. This guy knowingly threw a living creature into a fire.

His house burned down, and I think there should be more punishment for his cruel act. If I were to do something wrong, against the law... and my house burned down do you think the police would call it even?

I see no problem with getting rid of pests, in any format, I see no problem with the sticky fly strips, or mouse poison, I see no problem with pest insect spray all of these formats are painfull to the pests. I do admit that I wouldnt want to cause pain just for the dum of it, but I wouldnt want it to be illegal to have "inhumane" ways for dealing with pests.

Yes, I do think that is a rather cruel death, still doesn't make throwing a living creature into a fire right.

My cats leave birds in my bed while I'm sleeping in it.

They adore me though! 😀

I guess my problem is that the guy was just too d@mn lazy to thwack the mouse on the head and be done with it. Throwing it into a fire is indefensible to me. It's just too callous.
