When I was a kid my best friend's father had an effective way to deal with all of the cats roaming the neighborhood. He had a humane-trap cage and he'd put a can of tuna in the cage. He'd poke holes in the can so it could be reused. Cats would smell the tuna and wander into the trap.

After a cat was caught, he'd come out and pick up the heavy, steel trap and drop it into a large garbage can filled with water. 20 minutes later or so he'd retrieve the drowned animal, drop it into a trash bag and toss it into the dumpster.

Very few cats roaming around that neighborhood.

I guess that made him feel like a big man. Sadist is what he was.

Killing someones pet is not funny.
Posting clever means to kill someones pet is not the purpose of this web site. Go away.

LOL! I was shocked to find my 78 year old Mom doing that with squirrels and chipmunks.</p>

This was a very sh***y excuse for a human being.

If I had friends like that I wouldn't broadcast it

Wow...

A farmer down the road from me has a "treat" for any stray tomcat he catches on his property - puts it in a box and neuters it - less in-humane than what you have described.

Now, why? In the past, it was common for people to let their cats got outside. Sometimes cats slip out of the house. Did he get a kind of thrill out of killing defenseless animals? Was he the type to deliberately swerve his car and try to hit an animal crossing the road?

There are just some people who like to kill for the sake of killing. They may do it in the name of "protecting wild birds" or some such lame excuse, but they are simply psychopaths who like to kill. Some would kill humans if they thought they could get away with it, and others do.

Did your friend's father have the courage to serve in the military? At least the potential of going to war existed and the prey shot back.

A five gallon bucket 1/2 filled with water, a coat hanger, empty soda can and some peanut butter makes for a good mouse trap.

If the authorities ever find out, your friend is going to meet up with the law.

I bet your father's neighborhood had plenty of mice and rats! A 2 legged one too.

He is lucky Bubonic plague was not an issue then, but it IS a problem in many places NOW.
