I feel so bad

[pentigram]

I know that all my posts are bizarre. I'm just a bizarre person in general. Anyways, we have a little bit of a mouse problem here in the house. We put down glue boards to catch them, and I went to the bathroom to get some incense cause I was about to fire up the pipe when I heard a weird "squick squick" noise. I looked down, and pulled the glue board up and not surprisingly there was a mouse. What looked to me a baby mouse. Not big at all. Anyways he was CUTE. I knew I didn't want to keep him in my house so I thought tomorrow on my way to work I would release him in a field a couple of miles down the road. So I took him off the glue board and put a little paroxcide on him where I knew his fur had to have been tender and put him in a box. My wife wanted to see what the mouse had looked like so I opened the plastic box that he was in and he jumped out quickly and ran under the couch. By reflex I tried to catch him (all of this while my gloves are still on) and felt under the couch till I felt the little body. I grabbed him and brought him out from under the couch and I was horrified as to what I found. When I tried to grab him my unknown strength killed it while I was trying to get a good grip on him. I am an animal lover to the extreme, but don't want mice (or any other critter) running around my house in the open. I just needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for reading..:icon401:

awe poor mousey :( Mistakes happen man dont sweat it; i love animals too its understandible, say 3 hail marys and 1 our father. Your sins are forgiven.

[Sensi Super Skunk]

Years agoâ?¦
I remember once when I too found what I believed to be a cute baby mouse stuck on a glue trap that my grandmother bought. I tried to carefully pull it from its glue while wearing a glove. I thought I saw some bloodâ?¦ I looked down and saw its detached little arm stuck on the glue trap! I quickly killed it to put it out of its misery...

Some things are unavoidable. Learn from your past experiences and grow from them. Next time, be more careful. Withholding negative feelings can be unhealthy in the long time.

Yes, I too have a place in my heart for other animals. So much to the extent, I don't fully enjoy the idea of consuming another (sentient) being's flesh. I have limited myself to eating seafood occasionally until I am a fully transitioned vegan/vegetarian.

[oldhaole]

A little mouse problem will soon turn into a big mouse problem. And for such cute furry vermin, they can do a lot of damage. They love to eat weed seeds. Any newly sprouted seed is dinner for them too. They also will chew on your computer wires. And boy, does it smell good when one of the little bastards get into your walls and DIES.

I know they are cute, but they are called vermin for a reason. And after the mice make themselves a nice home ,in come their larger cousins, RATS. And they are not so cute. In fact they are down right ugly. Since they have no control their bowels they are constantly shitting and pissing everywhere they go. (mice too). They chew holes in the walls. They will chew wires in the walls. And I won't even get into the fleas and deseases they carry. Mice and rats are not something you want around. Do yourself a favor and kill them all.

My wife feels like you do and does not want me to kill them. I wait for her to go to sleep and set snap traps around the house every night. As I am dozing a snap sounds every once in a while. And I smile and think to myself "another one down". Then I wake up early and flush the evidence.

[40oz]

I feel for ya. I got a mice problem at my house too. God damned ghetto. When they keep me up at night, I curse them and shout at them in a monsterous voice about how I will kill them when I find them. Then, when I trap one, I look into his little beady eyes and suddenly feel merciful. This is war though, and war aint pretty.

Usually I will let them free outside where the cats can get them. If im not in the mood to go thru all that hassel, I have to man up and execute them. The way I look at it, I'm just setting them free from their bodies. Crazy, huh?

[stra8outtaWeed]

mice are just part of the food chain...for birds, snakes, even a large tarantula's eat mice...while i was in Hawaii...i was told to always wash the top of you beer or soda cans off because mice chew in the cardboard cases and urinate on the cans stored in wharehouses and it can make you sick! you think the mouse would would feel bad if it made your family ill? i have ground squirrels at my house and they dig my lawn up...so am always on the sniper attack with my pellet gun for ones near my home..i feel bad when i kill one but it lasts for about a minute until i smoke my victory bong! :jointsmile:

[oldhaole]

After their cute little heads get crushed by the snap trap I look into those beady eyes and feel nothing. It does help that their beady little eyes are in the wrong place though. :thumbsup:

[pentigram]

I know what you mean. When they are free your thinking "man, when I catch you I am going to kill you so bad!", but then when you actually catch them they give you "the look" and it just breaks your heart because they don't know they are doing harm to anyone else. Don't get me wrong. I have no pitty on roaches, and weird insects, but when it comes to something fluffy and cute I just cannot help myself. Reading everyone's response has made me feel a little better. Thanks everyone

[chillbrah]

i have two mice, santiago and dunbarr. my boss gave them to me and i really enjoy having them unfortunately they have a squeaky wheel. don't feel bad though things like that happen.

[Dutch Pimp]

mice ate 4 of 5 of my Nirvana Papaya seeds before they had even sprouted...:wtf:...how they got up on that table?...I will never figure out...:cool:

didn't know for sure it was mice...until, I put down a spring trap & peanut butter...and fired the cat...:smokin:...3 dead mice.

the one Papaya seed that survived was male...Damn!

[JohnnyZ]

Benji mouse and Frankie mouse would be most upset to hear this news.

[JohnnyZ]

And also don't feel so bad. You tried to be nice. These little fuckers were eating your shit and tried to pull a fast one on you. That's what you get for trying to being a hero you little punk bitch mouse.

I just tough talked a dead mouse..

[Dutch Pimp]

I read them the 'riot act'..on the way out the door...:thumbsup:

[gypski]

Keep the cats in the same room during the night. Then they will have no choice but to get off their duffs and protect the stash!! My last cat used to bring a mouse occasionally into bed. "See what I done!!!!!" He rid the place before too long. :D

[pentigram]

who needs a dog to protect you when you have a cat to protect the stash for ya. hehehehe. You guys have made me feel a lot better. :thumbsup:

[BlueBlazer]

A friend of mine owned a cat that would eat his plants. Get one of those and you have to bring a dog into the picture to protect against that cat.
This could get complicated. :wtf:

My wife and I rented a farm house once that was lousy with mice. Fortunately we had two cats that were in heaven mousing the place. First 15 minutes we were in the house they brought us four "trophies". Cats work great, but you better have a strong stomach. :D

[pentigram]

Kitty Kats are awesome. Hey Dutch Pimp we need to hang out sometime. (not in a gay way or anything) and smoke a fatty. My wife don't smoke (she eats it) and I don't know anyone around here that smokes.. Anyways, just a thought

[Hempsouth]

Don't worry there are thousands of mice where that one mouse came from.

[pepurr]

Here is a good reason to rid your house of mice. It is called Hantaviruses!

Homepage | CDC Hantaviruses (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hanta/hps/)

[Reefer Rogue]

they lose all cuteness factor the moment they enter your house.

[buddymyfriend]

Don't feel bad mate, shit happens! It's a dog eat world ma' man.

Peace

[TheChameleon]

You did the mouse a favor,,, he was going to die as it had to be weak to let you grab it from under the couch...

Usually the whiff of a cat will make a mouse move on,,, natural preditor... Hunger or cold weather will make mice ignore the cat... One of the best preventer's is to not make food available IE closed cupboards tight structure "no breeches"... I had a stone house for 17 years and had 1 stray mouse that the catz played with till it died of weakness... I fed the mice in the garage with bird seed the whole 17 years... Field mice will quickly get used to you and feed right in front of you... I think glue traps are inhumane best to snap their neck with the good old fashioned mouse trap...

[pentigram]

I just realized that I have more mice in my house than I thought. I should have known. I can't wait till I catch some more of the little bastards. More than likely though I will end up making another post on how I feel so sorry for them again. That's just how I am. LOL! Anyways, I mention this on a daily bases, but you people on this Forum are G-R-E-A-T!

[oldhaole]

Wow. We have gone from "cute" to "little bastards" in 8 days. :D

[BlueBlazer]

Wow. We have gone from "cute" to "little bastards" in 8 days. :D

Next week it will be "That's it, I'm buying a Glock." :S2:

[pentigram]

I already feel like the stupid things are driving me crazy. Earlier I tried to dismember the cabinet cause I heard the little bastards chewing down there. :wtf:

[NextLineIsMine]

Face it you're a ruthless natural born killer

[pentigram]

I hear yah! LOL! It's almost time for me to go out and buy that glock and shoot up my house so i could get that little bastard, but knowing my luck I would have holes everywhere and the little bastards would still be alive. ::YAWN!:: I just woke up. I slept for a long ass time :wtf:

[redtails]

I had probs too when I first started killing bunnies for my snakes, but you get used to it, it's better than the consequences if you left them alive...


even large tarantulas eat mice

My mouse killer, she could eat a normal sized field mouse (double bacon cheeseburger) a week:

[pentigram]

Wow. What kinda spider is that?

[JohnnyZ]

That spider is the coolest! I've always wanted to keep an exotic pet like that, just never really had spare cash to do it with.

pentigram, you could always just go to a local farm in your area and give the farmer a bottle of whiskey for one of his cats :D mice will be gone in no time.

[pentigram]

No, I think I need an exotic pet like that and them mice wouldn't dare come in my house. hehehehe

[NextLineIsMine]

man the smaller creatures of this world have such scarier agonizing natural ways of dying than we do, yknow war and torture aside.

The way you killed the mouse totally reminds me of Lenny from the book funnily enough called "Of Mice an Men". He doesnt know his own strength and kills the rabbits he likes by accident... and that woman in the end.

here's my little girl with her little girl....she has always caught snakes and lizards...even the biting ones! i once saw her dive into a bunch of tules after a snake and was wrestling around and started screaming "I caught the momma I caught the momma" she is my payback for all the shit i did to my parents! then she would catch tree frogs and lizards to feed the snake...not a normal girl! haha!

[oldhaole]

Don't worry there are thousands of mice where that one mouse came from.

And they may all, every single one, be sneaking aroud your house while you sleep. And a Glock just does not have what it takes to clear you abode. I suggest a shotgun. Saw it down. Use 00 buckshot. You hear a noise just empty the gun at where you heard the little bastard. In no time your house will be mouse free. :thumbsup:

[pentigram]

Okay, I'll try that. LMFAO!

[oldhaole]

Glad to offer an easy solution. Anytime I can be helpfull don't hesitate to ask. We live to solve small problems with large firepower.:D

Man your daughter is fucking rad. I hope my kids want to experience life like that!

Normal is boring!

[stra8outtaWeed]

thanks bro...she's brave...once when she was about 4 or 5 she came to me...Daddy look at my new pet...she held out her hand with a live scorpion in the middle of her palm....i hit her hand to knock it out and i stepped on and killed it and it was like the world just ended....i felt like an ass but i was afraid she would get stung and she tells me with tears...i learned how to catch them on Animal Planet...since she had caught many more snd made pet of them feeding them baby lizards...so she is far from your typical doll house little girl...i'm very proud of her:D

[JohnnyZ]

Holy shit.. haha I bet you have a million more stories like that. Never a dull moment.

The world has enough girls wearing eye shadow and uggz.

[redtails]

Wow. What kinda spider is that?

She's a Goliath Birdeating Tarantula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_birdeater), like in the movie Arachnophobia and just as mean! If you even look at her wrong she flings the little hairs from her back at you like an Amazon native shooting poison arrows with deadly accuracy. They stick all over and itch for days, then if that doesn't work she stands on her back legs, hisses, and bares her 3/4" fangs. I suggest never getting one, lol.

stra8: I might have to move out there and start calling you dad! Here's one of my current babies with my probably soon to be ex:

[JohnnyZ]

What the fuck do you feed that thing

[redtails]

What the fuck do you feed that thing

More than I eat :stoned:

[JohnnyZ]

That's insane and awesome at the very same time. Are you ever afraid that he will turn on you?

[stra8outtaWeed]

wooohoo....thats some snake action you got goin on...i had a room mate who had snake just like that and it always got loose in the house...you have to make dure they are kept fed or they can turn on you....we never found the snake so it was a little unnerving living in the house...i had a water bed that i knew i was going to jump into and find it one night or it was going to crawl in bed with me:stoned:

[redtails]

She has, and it could've been bad if it weren't for safety procedures (2nd trained person in room) and instincts/experience from a lifetime of working with them. I've been keeping various reptiles and other creepy crawlies all my life, and large pythons & boas for the past 7, 8 years. They can be the most gentle and tame animals, but unfortunately in the past few years groups like PETA & HSUS are trying to outlaw them federally because of a faulty gov survey and a few deaths from irresponsible keepers. I'm already an "outlaw" because of the rest of my lifestyle choices, hate to be completely one because I choose to keep "dangerous/injurious wildlife" instead of golden retrievers, who account for the most injuries/deaths from animals kept as pets...If it weren't so cold (and expensive to do so) I'd move to Canada.

[redtails]

Yeah, locking cages on all animals dangerous or not and inside a closed room. I've woken up to a snake curled next to me for warmth before, it's not as amusing as it sounds when that same snake is your meanest and previously strangled you into unconsciousness...

Awesome as they are these are the animals you choose to keep as your pet?

Abusive childhood?

Im just joking Id loooove a python and not just in my pants. Id never let it out though

[JohnnyZ]

Nextline, I've always wondered man.. what are you climbing out of/into in your display picture?

[pentigram]

Well, I went into my kitchen and heard the familiar sound of a mouse struggling to get off a glue board, but this time I felt no pity for the little bastard! The f'er had been traveling around my house basically taunting me. This time was my time to get even. (Warning: Very Brutal) So I took it outside and CRUSHED it to say the least. We will keep it at that. I feel a little bad, but all at the same time I feel accomplished. One last rodent running around.

On another note my "friend" has been out of my "order" for a while now. I think it's almost time to find a new "friend" so to speak. The only problem is that I am not a people person at all. Any tips on finding someone....?

[JohnnyZ]

Look up a book by Neil Strauss called The Game. Changed my life bro, for real.. I have a .pdf of it if we can find a way to exchange email addresses in a safe and prudent manner.

Hey Johnny Ive been on hiatus a while, real happy to see youre still here

Its when I was 15, 21 now, in Denmark, they never destroyed all those giant machine gun nests like the big one in Saving Private Ryan after the war. The beach as far as you can see has these giant bunkers sinking in to the sand. Im sticking my head out the hatch on top of a big one thats almost totally eaten up.

Your turn, explain Brad Pitt

Oldhaole... never forget that a new 'publican is a dem'crit who's just been /mugged/ for the first time ;)

I'm with you on the eradication thing :)

[warlord98]

Borrow someones pet ferret. Not only will the smell of that type of predator get the mice to leave , they are cool little animals to watch for a spell. Ive heard story of chicken farmers putting a ferret or two (in cages) in the coop with the chickens to rid themselves of mice.Not only that but you could walk around like Beast Master. Remember that movie? I don''t recall any mice in it. Anyhow good luck. :thumbsup:

That must be quite a sight man. Are you anywhere near Nimbin by the way? My friend was just at the Jack Johnson show there, she said it was one of the coolest places she's been.

To be totally honest, I have a bit of a man crush on Brad Pitt. Actually, not Brad Pitt himself, just on most of the characters he plays. Mickey from Snatch, Rusty in the Ocean's movies, Aldo in Inglorious Basterds and of course Tyler Durden.. So one day I was high and came across this picture of him in a pot leaf sweater and I was like "Hey, I love your acting and you also smoke weed! Fuckin' a!"

I was just watching True Romance, hes an awesome pot head in that, love his honey bear bong.

I was actually raised in San Fransisco and ditched the U.S. for New Zealand the moment I graduated high school, never looked back. You're Canadian eh?

[JohnnyZ]

100% man. Well actually both of my parents came here from Hungary just after the '56 revolution, so I have a little bit of culture haha

I have a plan to come to New Zealand. I worked with a guy that was from the Gold Coast and we've spent a lot of nights closing down the bar, getting pissed and talking about New Zealand. I can't just up and leave right now though, I got signed by a university on the east coast and I have four years of eligibility left to play. I'm a kicker/punter and I think it's cool that I can get my school paid for because I can kick a little egg shaped ball through two yellow posts hehe.. But when that's and done and over with, I'll have two degrees to my name, because I went to school the last four years here in Winnipeg while I was playing junior football.

So after what will be eight years of football and school, I am packing one bag, my guitar and my sense of humour and heading to the Gold Coast. NZ seems like the place for me.. surf the summers and snowboard the winters. Yes fucking please.

I tell you what I'm going to do next time I hear one of those darn mice. Instead of the "poison pellets" and all that jazz, I'm going to bring out my baby. (I have a 5 yr old corn snake named 'Andy') He should be able to handle the job. The only problem is when he gets out he doesn't like to go back in. Not that I blame him. :D
