I've realized I can only kill insects and fish

[Taverner]

Insects when they are buzzing around

And fish when, well, I'm fishing.

But say, trying to take out a mouse? Sorry - I worry about the pain and whatnot. A mouse has a greater nervous system than a 2nd trimester fetus.

1. Ugh.

I spent 9 years working in a lab that worked with rodent pathogens. Those suckers carry nasty nasty stuff! No way I want those little disease carriers in my house..Of course I have two cats so I don't think thats an issue....

2. Oh let the cats kill them

I just said I can't kill them

Cats get a nice snack out of the deal

3. Indeed.

I have to admit I'm a wuss about mousetraps that snap..Heard one once that did NOT kill the mouse when it snapped..ick

4. I had to deal with a screeching, bleeding, whimpering mouse once

That's what did it to me

His haunch had been snapped off, and he was still alive, trying to slither away on what was left of him

Ever since then, its been live traps.

5. I can't kill fish anymore

just can't do it (though I don't criticize anyone who does). My brother hunts deer every year and I always give him shit for it.

[ACTION BASTARD]

6. Anything with more than 4 legs and not invited in my house gets

sanctioned. Any foolish mouses are dealt with by the cat named Tiger. I merely pick up what's left over.

I ain't playing around with fish. The come into my house already dead.
