People who use them don’t want to be “involved” with the deaths.
They think putting it where they cannot see it and having something take up to 4 days to die in agony is “better”.
If you must kill, make it quick and merciful.
That is not too much to ask.
Agreed a mouse trap is quicker. A cat is fed.
I use them because the are very effective for fiddlebacks and mice and even small snakes. Sometimes I will have all three on the same pad. They are cheap and I can cover the shed or garage pretty well.
No, I don’t worry about the mice’s feelings or suffering. They are disease carrying vermin, who are very destructive. Sometimes I finish them off quickly, sometimes I leave them or let the cat have fun with them.
That chicken didn’t live a life of luxury and comfort. But he sure made a good 3 strip chick-fil-a chicken meal.
