Cats are better.
I have a terrier with a history of mouse murder, but he’s not doing jack against the mice in our creepy attic with exposed fiberglass.
No idea why people buy these. Humane traps are inexpensive, reusable, and effective.
Two reasons: laziness (glue trap goes in the bin without having to clean it, and effectiveness (not much escapes them).
Both are bad reasons, given the additional environmental costs and inhumane method.
Glue traps fail as a long-term solution because they neglect to address the source of the problem: As long as food remains accessible, more animals will move in to take the place of those who have been killed.
Sure, but there are only so many mice in an area and only so many of those that find their way into an undesirable location. You can make better arguments against glue traps than “killing vermin doesn’t make them go away forever”
As with any trap.
why would anyone listen to PETA? they are eco-terrorists
You say eco-terrorists like they’re a company dumping industrial waste.
No look up what eco-terrorism is
Yeah… Maybe you should do that yourself.
i have, and peta is a eco-terrorist organization.
Citation needed.
Eco-terrorism is a term invented by Ron Arnold, Executive Vice-President of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise. If that’s not a conflict of interest, I don’t know what is.
Still applies to what they do. Wanna protest with signs in front of an office or whatever go ahead. Wanna break into a work site and disable equipment you don’t own, yeah I don’t fly with that.
Why Everyone Hates PETA (It’s Astroturfing)
Your claim about them doesn’t discredit their argument.
astroturfing is one thing, them literally disabling farming and logging equipment and chaining themselves to whatever gets the most headlines for them is done all on their own
I mean they care about the animals and nature. Protests are meant to be disruptive. The law is not always moral.
Center for Organizational Research and Education
The organization defends the alcohol, meat, and tobacco industries and has been critical of organizations including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Humane Society of the United States, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
you and me are different, even though i might not agree with a law i still follow it.
Oof. That’s not something you should say with pride…
i…dont like to goto jail?
Would you still follow the law if you lived in 1940 Germany? Yes or no question.
I would leave Germany
So you would do anything the law tells you? “We were just following orders” did not cut it for the Nuremberg trials.
what are you implying? that im going to be ordered to kill someone then be told “im just following orders?” first off if canada came to that, id be long gone, either by killing myself or finding a ride to europe, second off, stop living in fantasy land equating these people damaging private property = me commiting a genocide on a race of people be it white, black, christan, atheist, jew, mulsim whoever. thats fuckin bonkers dude
you’re really trying hard to avoid understanding comparisons and I’m not a dude.
Killing yourself is illegal fwiw.
So you’ll follow any law no matter how immoral it is? Good to know you’ll willingly report your local thoughtcrime and anyone else the state demands of you. Failure to do so will out you in jail!
toughtcrime? you read too much 1984
Yes, how dare I read a book that’s required in school to teach people about how governments can be easily corrupted into despotism.
You’d support big brother with it’s doubleplus good laws.
Peta missing the point again.
The reason why glue traps in particular are horrible is because unlike snap traps, they aren’t an instant-kill, leaving the mice to unnecessarily suffer through starvation, often over multiple days.
There are documented cases of mice and rats self-cannibalising to escape glue traps, as well as cases where they break their own bones in the struggle to escape. It’s needless pain, even mouse trap enthusiasts are more often than not against glue traps because they see it as being needlessly cruel.
It’s easy to shit on PETA, but they have things right in this case.
Heartbreaking:
The person you hate just made a great point
That’s your take eh?
