I saw a short video on how to capture mice. It was done by a professional pest control operator from ABC Pest Control. One of the methods he showed was using a glue board. But what did surprise me what that he said once the mouse is caught on the glue board, you throw it away. This struck me as not only odd, but certainly very cruel. Is it standard procedure to catch a mouse on a glue board, just to throw them away in the rubbish if they are still alive?
The guy offered nothing on what to do with them if they're alive. No humane methods of killing, no release tricks, nothing. Just "throw it out with the trap". This has really made me question the ethics of such a method. Aren't these pest control people qualified enough to put an animal out of its misery if it is alive on a trap?
Leaving an animal to starve to death doesn't sit well with me at all. Especially when there's the option to kill it humanely.
