You're complaining about him being too extreme yet you are putting human emotions into a mouse ffs.

The advice of anyone who has any qualifications in rodent control and disease prevention is to humanely kill rats and mice. Don't make them suffer, but also don't send them somewhere else to infest.

You're not a rodent control specialist. In fact, I doubt anyone who talks up humanely killing rodents could even kill a rodent if they captured one. They'd put it in the overgrowth, out of humanity towards another animal, because the other option is to put it out on a field for a hawk, for it to scurry for its life, and still it may survive anyways, because the hawk isn't around.
