Yes....that is a hamster in my pic. Did you see it? I love animals. I never condoned killing anything. I do, however....condone keeping yr place yr place.... If they aren't welcome.....then they must go.......


You love animals, you say?

Yet you:

a) Use a glue trap
b) Laugh when someone mentions what happened with an animal on their glue trap
c) Nonchalantly describe a tail being ripped off in one of them.

Some animal lover you are.

I have a sense of humour, but laughing at real-life situations of animal cruelty is not funny in the least.
I refuse to live with rats. I don't think that is an insane position. Sorry if it offends you.....but I'm a practical man.......

What the hell does living with rats have anything to do with this?

I flamed you because you laughed at an animal suffering, not because you want to get rid of them (which I have nothing against). You don't need to use glue traps anyway, there are OTHER traps you realise that aren't as barbarically cruel.

And the way you described the animal's tail being torn off - you know full well it happens, yet use them anyway and shrug your shoulders at it? You don't even knowledge how cruel and unnecessary to the animal that is. So calling yourself an 'animal lover' is bizarre.

Rodents are nasty, man. They eat yr food.....they pee and poop everywhere. They spread disease. It is not unpractical too want to get em' outta' yr house. This is where I stand on this issue. Any means necessary.....

My hamster....on the other hand....is a marsupial. He has a clean cage.....he is well fed and taken care of. He is a pet. Rats....are a freakin' plague. I reserve the right to get rid of them by any way of my choice........

Put them out of their misery first. Don't starve 'em to death like that.

Whether they are nasty or not isn't the point.

I am arguing against the method. What you don't seem to comprehend is that I don't disagree with you on the merits of getting them out of your house... but you don't need to torture them to do that... is that clear to you yet?

No, you don't. You've no right to torture something to death. It's unnecessary and it's wrong.

No! This is where yr wrong. It IS necessary. They breed. They are nasty. They spread disease. They create un-sanitary conditions. I catch them.....and whenever possible release them. I don't think this constitutes psychotic behavior. Seems very reasonable to me........

Then don't act like a sadist. Glue traps are terrible things, it's very painful for the animals on that and laughing at their misery is not cool.

Can you even read properly? Again, I'm not necessarily against killing/eviction. But how is torture necessary? There is a difference between ridding of something humanely, and torturing it to death.

You could kill the mice in a humane manner. Or catch and release. Torturing something is a waste of time and energy.

So, again - where am I wrong in saying that *torture* isn't necessary?

No.....you are not cool. I am not a sadist. I don't catch rats to watch em' suffer and laugh at them. I do it cuz' I actually don't want nasty vermits eating my food, pooping and peeing in my place.....and breeding more rats. It's common sense........

Ahem.

In this very thread, someone described in graphic detail about their glue trap experience where an animal ripped a part of itself off.

You laughed at this.

Laughing at another creature's pain is sadistic.
