i am an inhumane mouse killer!

Nov 08, 2007 21:56

sooo, my store has mice. not just a mouse, but mice. we're finding nibbled food, corners full o' droppings, and see the rascals scampering about. because i run a food service establishment, i must call my facillities contact center, and they send an exterminator, who lays out traps.
so at 5 am this morning there were 3-- THREE!!!-- little mices caught in the traps and struggling like mad to get free. and the one was in a pile of pastry crumbs and gnawing off his own leg to get free and i felt so fucking awful. like, poor little mousie was just trying to have a snack and then falls into a stupid glue trap and gnaws off his own leg. and then gets taken outside to freeze to death with his buddies under a dumpster.
i am aware it is just a mouse, but regardless, its a living being that spent its last moments on earth panicked and scared and cold and it sucks and i feel horrible and i hate being the cause of it. i guess snap-traps are considered inhumane because if the mouse gets caught at a bad angle i guess it doesn't die right away. but struggling in a trap is just as bad.
my ex boyfriend just texted me with 'i have a favor to ask you.'
i have no idea what this favor might be, nor why he would think i owe him any.
