Damn ...Thats right I was the corperate CEO at the time I could have used live traps and then relocate the mice to a sutable new home.
I had no say what they did with the mice.It was contracted out to an
exterminator.
I am a butcher not an executive fer chrissakes.lol
You said "The fire is more humane than the sticky trap". But no one here was arguing that the old fart should have employed a well placed sticky trap instead of the torch. Finding a method of execution even worse than burning to death does not make the burning any nicer.
Originally posted by dylI understand that the mouse suffered.All in all though there are worse ways to go.How about the guy took the mouse and bound and gagged him,made him read the forums.Now THAT is cruel.

Crickey!!!
It's a God damned rat for Christsakes.
Does anyone here swat flies or wear mosquito spray???
Mice are a pest,pure and simple.They spread bacteria and are not
endangered.
The irony of the story is hilarious.
OK, let's get back to basics:
The mouse was eating this guy's bread, which he made or bought with his money that he'd worked for.
So, the mouse is a thief.
And the mouse got caught!!!!!
So the judge (guy) says to the mouse: "Thou art a tea-leaf. And thou art also bad-mannered. I forgive you for the theft. But the penalty for eating my bread with bad manners, like not asking me first, and eating the butter separately, is to be thrown into the Fires of Hell."
Rule Number one: Don't get caught.
At least the mouse didn't grass up his partners-in-crime.
Rule Number 2: Try to escape.
SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!
Rule Number 3. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Just furn his bucking house down.
SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!
Rule Number 4. Run away fast.
Anyone know what happened to the mouse afterwards?
I rest my case.
EDIT:And that's nothing compared to the trespass Law in Mexico.
Oh my God! Have any of you ever had mice?????
I had one horrific experience with mice scurrying about my home long ago when I lived in scumlord filled province. I'm not afraid to admit I came up with some pretty inhumane ways to kill every one of those filthy little so and so's. They leave little turds on my kitchen counters and at night all you could hear was the sound of them scampering through the walls. I would have no problem burning them alive. They're nasty, dirty, filthy rodents. And they can jump like nobodies business! Although they are smart so 'm not surprised the little rat burned down the guys home. Better off drowning them. 😏
There's a mouse living somewhere in my house. I sometimes leave biscuits out for him.
It amazes me that people in this thread have called this mouse a rat. There's a world of difference between rats and mice. I have had many rats as pets.
The strangest thing about this story, and something that I don't understand, is how did this 81 year old man catch a mouse? They're FAST.
Originally posted by hopscotchIn the south United States they call mice rats,but then they call a family reunion a singles meet up.I thought it was funny myself.The main diffeerence I see is the size ,rats being larger.If mice and rats had big furry tails people would like them.Imagine a squirrel with a rats tail,it is just another rat like creature then.

Hence forth that is why God gave mice and rats smaller tails ,so we would hate them.
Originally posted by flyUnityNo! you have got me all wrong where did I say that the guy should be punished healthwise? The point I was making was:
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 w ...[text shortened]... then a slow death, days of suffering.
I still am totaly amazed that this is even a discussion
1. the guy only lost his house, the mouse (presumably) lost it's life so there is no balance (a life lost is more than mere objects)
2. the guy should know better, it's no defence to point at a cat and say they are also cruel.
Originally posted by c99uxDidn't you even see hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy! (this was in the series not sure if it featured in the movie or not) mice actually paid for this planet to be built. I bet the guy did not even pay rent to the mouse! so the mouse has a perfect right to enter the house. I reckon he knew this, saw the mouse panicked thinking he was going to be evicted, but the mouse probably only wanted to negotiate peaceful terms, so he was way out of order. I may be wrong but I am sure that the landlord and tenant act does not allow you to throw your landlord on a fire when he or she enters the property to discuss unpaid rent.

Originally posted by OmnislashWell you would say that wouldn't you, you didn't pay for the planet to be constructed, you just want to live on it without paying the mice any rent. If you need any proof that the mice own the planet see hitch hiker';s guide to the galaxy. I just hope that we don't have to vacate the planet now as the timing is very bad for me.
Well, after reading seven pages of peoples opinions, I have given the matter serious consideration. In conclusion, my primary and essential thought on the matter is....
People care about this way too much. Seven pages too much.
Originally posted by stevetoddHey pal, I got my towel right here along with my shopping cart full of beer. As far as I'm concerned, if the mice come for their rent, they can tell it to my manic depressive robot.
