Hello there.
I recently stumbled upon a recently deleted thread where someone claimed they laughed manically when they caught mice on glue traps, and instead of putting them out of their misery, the person just throws them in the bin (and in their own words, describes a slow and painful death). I will not name names, but a few of you have probably seen the post in question.
I offer these questions to you:
1) Is it at all reasonable to chuck a still-living mammal into the bin, still attached on super glue?
2) Should a person doing such an act be punished?
3) What would you have done if someone is being so callous and cruel to another living being, and you were there to witness it?
While rats/mice are pests, they can still feel pain, and I believe giving them an unnecessarily cruel and brutal end is not morally sound. Should death not be as swift and as painless as possible when doing the deed? What is the point of this torture?
