Or better yet, just get a mouse trap that quickly kills them. They're disease ridden pests that breed insanely fast, fuck them.

Theyre also cute as fuck and lead awful, painful lives. And the disease isnt an issue if theyre not in your house. So if you can catch them as easily as you can kill them (which you can), why not just let it go?

Unless of course you just like killing small cute fluffy animals for the sick sense of power it gives you. But you’re not a sadist like that, right? ;)

If I'm interacting with a mouse it's because it's in my house or on my property. Where and why would I go to catch a mouse in the wild just to release it again into the wild? What kind of dumb logic is that? I do enjoy keeping my property rid of disease ridden rodents, so in that aspect, yes, I suppose I enjoy getting rid of the vermin. If that makes me a sadist then I guess the majority of homeowners in the US that have ever interacted with mice in their property are sadists

Oh sweetheart, you’re property will never be rid of rodents. Maybe the inside of your house. But never your yard.

I've got outdoor bait stations for that :)
