Thank you for the video link. It’s an interesting contraption. I didn’t know that mice become anxious and depressed when they’re in water. I’ll have to decide if I want to torture the little varmints before they die by making them tread water for who knows how long before they give up. When I see their filthy droppings, the answer is YES!, but seeing their dead bodies in a bin of water will cause me to envision their last moments. It will be more merciful and slightly better for my peace of mind to get it over with fast. It’s only about 1 in 10 that are quick enough to get only partially snapped by the trip wire and stay alive longer than I’d like.
I wish they’d stay in their own habitat so I wouldn’t have to deal with them at all. Maybe lj has it right ... use the more humane capture traps, and since they’ve already had dinner on me, take them for a drive in the country too and release them far from my house.
