Ann, yep I know a little about them. I was reading about them and if I recall there were several cases where the mice were badly injured and didn't die for a long time. I know I shouldn't care about that but I do. I used to have some live traps that were bigger than you can get now and they worked real well. I seem to have hidden them on myself though. The ones I have now work for the little field mice just fine but I think Henry is big enough that his tail stays under the door so he can open it again. He does go in and eat the treats out.

I would care about that too - I see no reason to make any being suffer.

Die, yes, but never suffer. Whistling
In the end, only kindness matters.

Science is not the answer, it is the question.

I agree I had not heard about them getting injured but taking a long time to die. NO, NO, NO. I'm not for that.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
