Thank you for the clarification Sammy. :) I wish you luck in fixing the issue, as did not mean to step on toes. I just wanted to clarify a couple of things.

Well not for your comment specifically, if you read my first point it was pertaining to the use of glue boards.

First impressions would be better if said person was sincere, instead of making sadistic remarks (jokingly or not). When I met people, I don't make jokes to degrade something that they care about. Hardly my fault, there was absolutely zero issue at all until they said that. I made my point and...

I very much hope so.

Tongue in cheek hey? I dunno... I've seen plenty of messed up things people do, even if they love their own pets. I used to work for the RSPCA... I was actually a case reviewer. Seen a lot of messed up things. But I quit that years ago because it got to me. If this person actually admits they...

Perfectly understandable when attempting to catch the animal. But once you've caught it? If someone decides to torture it, rather than dispatch it humanely, at that point it has nothing to do with "the safety" of your family. I mean, a wolf can be dangerous to my family. I will catch it and...

You were called out after not only saying something deserves to be tortured... but enjoying it. Do you also understand torturing animals is a felony?

Yes I'm a "snowflake" now because I'm against torturing animals. Real mature.

Go seek therapy please.

Having witnessed a couple of distressed mice on a glue trap before, absolutely. Actually seen some of his work and it's quite good. Only problem on the internet is that sometimes you don't know whether people are joking or being sarcastic. Like someone saying an animal "deserves" being tortured.

And I admire that, if it helps them cope, then have at it. Though people on the outside, laughing about it? Tell you what, if I was suffering from cancer, I wouldn't like it if strangers joked about it. Sure most people wouldn't either.

No they don't. Once you capture an animal, you can dispatch it painlessly. That you'd admit you'd want to torture an animal after capturing it is absolutely sickening. I've lived on a farm with mouse plagues and never had to torture them, or hear their screams, etc. Animals can't help what...

It wasn't a funny one and in poor taste. Like laughing about cancer, really. Nah not really but this thread was a very interesting read, considering stuff like that doesn't happen everyday.

There's a big difference between trapping an animal and killing it quickly and humanely, as opposed to letting it suffer. Like if you use a glue trap for example, the animal is already caught: you put it out of its misery so it doesn't suffer. You don't just leave it there to slowly die. That is...

He also condemns glue traps, interestingly enough: This pest control operator also doesn't recommend them: They are very horrific. We can always control pest animals without unnecessary cruelty added. Some people who use them are too squeamish to dispatch them that they throw them in the...
