Just yesterday I increased the body count from my garage traps by two, today at Wally World I picked up a new four pack of snap traps to replace the used ones. (fresh traps seem to work best and they are cheap). Unlike our government, I am not into catch and release of vermin. They just come back. Funny, I never used traps when I had a cat. Hum, cause and effect? 
Once upon a time, my parents owned a mangy, lazy alley cat who came to cadge free food one day and stayed. Dad's up in the attic and notices mouse droppings. He cut down on his cat food bill by hoisting the cat into the attic without food (only water), and closing him up for two days. Cat came out, having gained valuable hunting experience nabbing his MouseMeal, and it was all very NATURAL and ECO-FRIENDLY.
Our late, deeply missed Dominic was a Miniature Schnauzer mix from the pound who killed and partially ate NINE mice in our backyard within the first three months of adopting him. It's been five years and we've yet to espy a single mouse.
Why try to capture vermin? They need killing, plain and simple. Just like the verminous Muslim terrorists. I don't give a **** why they shot down that chopper last weekend-only that the main perp is deader than a doornail. One of the terrorists' victims was the brother-in-law of my vet. I sent her flowers, but what I'd like to be able to do for all the dead military members' families is for us to FINISH the damn job and quit giving a damn about Muslim "sensibilities" and "outreach" and all that other happy horseshit.
