I am curious...but I know that once I see it, I can't unsee it. I don't like animals being tortured. I hate cats personally, but I don't want to see them hurt for no reason. There's a cat that's in my yard from time to time and poops in my grass. If I had a rifle that was quiet enough, it would have been dead by now.
Last night there was mouse caught in a trap that I set in the laundry room. When I found him, he was still alive and trying to get free. It was a sad sight since I set a BIG rat trap and this looked like a baby mouse.

I didn't want to get bitten so I had needle nose pliers that kept slipping when I would lift the metal bar. The bar would fall back on the mouse's trapped leg and it would make this squeak because of the pain. I'm not a sensitive guy at all, but that was a bit hard to deal with. After three tries I finally got him free.
I felt bad about it, but I reset the trap. I have friends who rent from me and I can't allow them to get bitten by a mouse/rat while doing laundry. Maybe I'll get a trap that doesn't kill the animal. I don't want the mice/rats dead, I just don't want them in my laundry room. I see reason for that cat to die, since it insists on coming into my yard despite numerous attempts of me spraying it with water and running it off.
