PETA at it again!

Minny Mouse looks kind of like the end of a bad movie?

Normally I don't agree with PETA, but...

... they do make a very good point about glue traps. Even though I disagree with their method of protest.

Glue traps are about the most ****ed up way to kill something. When I go out hunting, I intend to kill with one shot. If I don't get my target with one shot, I finish it off. I don't just leave it there to writhe in pain. Every animal deserves a quick send off. Leaving a mouse in superglue to die of starvation or from its own self inflicted wounds seems wrong to me, and pretty sick.

And I hope you people agree on this.

Use a quick kill trap, a gun, hounds or a simple cage trap (+ drown) I say.

I use glue traps at camp. They are much more effective than other methods. I use them the same as snares though. I set them at night and check them in the morning. I never leave them out when I'm not there.

Don't really want the dead mice stinking up my camper while I'm gone.

I don't really see how they're any more effective than a snap trap.

Anyway, my issue with them is that they don't actually kill the animals outright, it just lets 'em linger and suffer. I even know of a few people who toss them in the bin, still alive.

Mice will also poop and pee on the trap when caught, out of fear. This increases the likelihood of disease transmission. Plus all other sorts of crap gets caught on it (eg. dirt, grit, dust, insects, etc).

I've always thought glue traps should only be used as a last resort when other methods fail. Even then, people should be diligent about their use. What I mean by that is KoS, none of this "toss into bin while alive" crap.

PETA Killed 95 Percent of Adoptable Pets in its Care During 2008
Hypocritical Animal Rights Group’s 2008 Disclosures Bring Pet Death Toll To 21,339

WASHINGTON DC – Today the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) published documents online showing that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed 95 percent of the adoptable pets in its care during 2008. Despite years of public outrage over its euthanasia program, the animal rights group kills an average of 5.8 pets every day at its Norfolk, VA headquarters.

According to public records from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, PETA killed 2,124 pets last year and placed only seven in adoptive homes. Since 1998, a total of 21,339 dogs and cats have died at the hands of PETA workers.

Despite having a $32 million budget, PETA does not operate an adoption shelter. PETA employees make no discernible effort to find homes for the thousands of pets they kill every year. Last year, the Center for Consumer Freedom petitioned Virginia’s State Veterinarian to reclassify PETA as a slaughterhouse.

But they did it with love so it was ok. We are just a bunch of mean red neck boys.
I get excited every time one of those spring traps go off behind the washer and dryer.
I reached behind the cabinet at the club to retieave a rat trap and pulled out a 5 foot rat SNAKE in the trap. suprised the crap out of me.

Think of it as a "time out".
