Reply #11: 'Sticky traps' are the most inhumane of traps [View All]

[alittlelark]

I saw a rat at our nursery school alive in one for 2 days before I put it out of it's misery. At the next meeting I got a rule passed that we would never use them again.

It's kind of like being stuck on a rooftop in a flood... trapped w/o food or water.... it's horrible.


PS - you only feed 'barn cats' every other day, and if you saw 2 mice multiply them by 5-10 to get an accurate assessment of the problem. Most rescue groups will adopt out barn cats for next to nothing.
