[RC] Rodent Dispatching and cruelty...... not a good comparison - Mary Ann Spencer
It is very difficult to kill a possum. Had to
buy my first weapon, a 22 rifle, for that purpose. The possum was fighting
my dog for the dog food. So just what is so cruel about defending one's
property?????? I doubt that those chickens felt very nice being pulled
apart. I have lost a lot of chickens to raccooms and possums, not to
mention coyotes. Oh, yeah, the mice they don't eat much but can run up
your arm when scooping for grain and also carry some nasty diseases. When
the damn things ate some horse tack, that meant war. An old friend told me
that rats like EX LAX. We had rats in our office in Baghdad. He said they
used to put it out yrs ago at a grainery where he worked. Seems the EX LAX
gives them diarrhea which makes them thirsty and dehydrated and they go outside
looking for water and die. Now it won't work during the rainy season and
you have to have no water supply in the area. Just some of my
experiences. Oh, the new replacements did not worry about the rats but
when I left it was there problem. The damn thing got on my desk and ate my
jalapena cheese package.... which was a highly valued
commodity. Mary Ann
