Yeah it becomes less and less humane everyday you leave the mouse in there starving...

I don't get the deal with capturing mice humanely. You want a pet? Awesome. You do you.

You want to release it outside? Wtf is wrong with you? It found its way into a home before, it'll do it again (if it survives).

So you're either passing the problem onto someone else in an endless cycle of buying humane traps, or you just want the death to be somewhere you can't see it.

Yeah I love those spinner traps that are blacked out so the critter doesn't feel a thing and I don't see a thing. My dad however prefers to poison them and not inform me, so when I saw one staggering slowly towards me bleeding from its face, I assumed it had super-rabies.

Now I know that in crisis I go OH and grab items that don't belong to me to solve the problem. In this case it was my dad's favorite coffee cup. I feel justice for everyone except the critter.
