"Non-Live Trap" argument highly disputable

» David_Christoph - The "humane" approach to wildlife

The BEST way for you to decide what is humane is to put yourself (the "Human" in humane) in the other creatures shoes.

If you moved into an area where you were unwanted or disruptive to a species more powerful than you, how would you wish them to treat you:

A) Poison you to a slow painful death.

Most animal posions cause the animal to die from an unquenchable thirst. To die from thirst is absolutley one of the most slow and horribly painful ways to die. Also, by poisoning the animal, you are also poisoning the animals that will consume this animal and so on.

B) Execute you.

May be quick, may be achingly slow depending on the effectiveness of the executioner (trap).

C) Catch you and Release you.

With just a little thoughtfulness and effort, you (and your family) could be apprehended and placed into a container with food, water, warmth, light, shelter and space. Then, as soon as possible, a suitable place is found for you that will provide you with reasonable access to all the above as well as your freedom. They could even leave you a few days supply of extra food and water as well as some shelter in your new place to help ease the transition.

D) Avoid being able to inhabit a place that would put you and your family's lives in mortal danger. Much can be done to keep you from getting into or being interested and a 'forbidden' place. They can eliminate points of access, remove accessibility to food and place unfriendly smells ('used' cat litter or peppermint extract in the case of mice).

Finally, it is up to you to decide what is humane. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" can be a good place to start. I believe kindness and consideration is for all god's creations.

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated." - Mahatma Ghandhi

I don't consider Ghandi to be my moral example. It is apparent that you haven't read much of my writing as I have written extensively on a variety of issues you appear to raise. Third, I don't believe that humans are animals. So your argument is known as a category mistake. visit http://www.wildlifedamagecontrol.com/pol... to see more about my thoughts of the animal rights protest industry.
