I sure am glad I can always take mine into work for euth if need be.

I don't like to even think about these things!!
And don't even want to know about what people do with cats! :O

I understand ferals are a problem, but I still think they need to be disposed of in a nicer manner :(

For rodent eradication there is nothing better than a good dog Mortisha. My Jack Russell is also brilliant at this. Unfortunately when she is in "hunting mode" she is also like an addict, anything that moves is fair game. Pity the poor old girl is starting to loose her sight, early cateracts at 12.

I gotta tell you up until this year I couldnt even kill a mouse without wanting to be sick .
With the plague upon us and having lost 2 clutches to the mongrel things I am not so proud to say that I can quite easily smack em on the concrete , tread on them and even had the misfortune to decapiate one stuck in the trap .

Quick and final ..

No conscisnce whatsoever any more ... I love the smell of dead meeces in the morning ....

All other critters are safe at the moment .....

Sometimes high ethics are a luxury that only the privileged can afford.

In day to day life practicalities take precedence.

However, we can still be conscious of what we are doing, and chose the most appropriate and humane method available.

If it's quick and relatively painless, as well as being practical, then that's fine IMO.
