Blazing mouse sets fire to house!

[OdiN]

Yeah he should have made sure that the mouse was contained.

Well...or he could have put it in an old microwave for fun.

That's what you get for burning a living being alive. He was to much of a wuss to kill it, so he threw a living animal into a fire. I think a two by four upside the head would have probably been more instructive, but hey... that's karma for you.

What?! Its a MOUSE?!

Do you think people who put out mouse traps should be shot, or people who use RAID should be beaten with a ball bat?? What about farmers that use chemicals, do you want to eats worms, maggots andflies in your food too?

would you rather have your neck broken or be burned alive?

You didnt address my other points.
Would you rather have your stomach burned out by acid, or burned alive?
Dont see you raising a stink about mouse bait.
Would you rather have your skin disolved off your body and suffocate, or be burned alive.
Dont see you raising a stink about pesticides.

Point is, todays metrosexual touchy feely society thinks everything is cute anf uzzy. Some of those old timers out there have had a pretty rough live, the kind us cuddled and coddled get it handed to us on a silver platter type of people will never understand. As such, that old guy probably just saw a pest or rodent, not a cute little baby mouse. Its just a nouse, he pitched it in the fire to get rid of it. I seriously doubt he did it with any malice.

That said, I do find it pretty funny his house got burned down by the incident.

It's a MOUSE.

BTW people from this guy's generation don't have any qualms about killing small furry creatures (unlike the castrated generation of today).

My grandmother used to find mouse nests while working in her yard. Those tiny, blind baby mice were treats for her cats.

Here kitty kitty...

capitalizing the word "mouse" doesn't really change anything, nor does your attempt to turn klling small furry baby mice into some kind of statement about masculinity... he made an analogy to mousetraps - implying hypocrisy; i was just showing how the two scenarios are different in a meaningful way.

Well as the son of farmers, crop and stock, I have seen and done my fair share of animal killing.
My mother was raised in the coal mining towns of the Appalachian mountains, no running water or electricity til she was 18, they butchered their own meat and hunted for that. I'm no stranger to dying animals and I know that a mouse is a pest. You can trust, that were I to see a mouse on the farm I would sure kill it. That being said, I would kill it. I wouldn't burn it alive. There's a difference between what is essentially killing from self-interest and cruelty. I maintain that throwing ANY living thing into a fire is an act of cruelty, and I doubt you'll find many people who would disagree. FFS he could have just stepped on it.

Honestly I think it's the DETACHMENT from the slaughter of animals which causes people to do things like this. Probably some suburban grass-farmer, who has no idea where meat really comes from, and is at his heart, terrified of killing the animal, so he lets the fire do his work for him.

Oh come on. The hair on that mouse would of burned up way before it even reached the damn house. That is such BS that a mouse covered in fire from it very short and thin hair would of been able to scoot arcross the yard, and still be on fire and not overcome from the fire itself to find its way into the house (yeah its on fire and like it can even see where it is going), and burn the house down.
RIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTTTTT!

Thats probably it, he has detachment from the whole scenario.

While I dont approve of burning animals, I certainly wouldnt think we need to take a 2x4 to his head for throwing a mouse in the fire like some people here.

fine, i can address those as well... if there are ways that take about the amount of resources but cause less suffering, i don't see why we should stick with the ways that take longer and are more painful. the old guy could have just stepped on it.

yea yea, i get it, killing = manly :roll: i don't think he did it with any malice either, fwiw.

Now wouldn't you regret somthing liek that.

you just said in your other post that it was probably because he had such a rough life and just didn't think twice about throwing it in the fire... and now it's because he's detached from slaughter?

yea, i have no doubt mice are pests in certain circumstances... i think you're right, he probably just didn't think about the actual implications of throwing something into the fire.

 

[mercanucaribe]

Amazing.. people are saying it's okay to burn a mouse alive. What if it was a kitten or a puppy?

A kitten isn't a pesky rodent.

A dog though....well it's a pest but not a rodent.


It's just a stupid mouse for crying out loud.

 

[Vonkhan]

lol, that's just awesome!!!

 

[Tiamat]

Wow, that mouse showed true retribution.

 

[Brutuskend]

HEHE Go mouse!

I saw something very similar to that happen when I was a kid.

The jackass's next door decided it would be funny to pour lighter fluid on a turtle's shell and light it.

It crawled under the house and started in on fire.

Too bad IT didn't burn to the ground....

Ummm, yeah, exactly.
Failing to see the correlation here??

If you have a pampered get SLK's handed to you, oh no cant have my hot PC parts for 1 month until its X-mas ATOT life you probably think mice are cute cuddly fuzzy animals.

When you grew up through the Great Depression, WWII and all that other stuff your probably a bit desensitized to the needs of a pesky rodent such as a mouse.

djheater wasn't saying that he might have been detached from slaughter because he suffered through whatever, he was saying he might have been detached from slaughter because he wasn't a real farmer (and that he was afraid of killing it in a more direct manner). so yea, i do fail to see the correlation.

and for what it's worth, i know people who have suffered through things like that and feel compassion for other living creatures - in fact, often times their experience is part of what gives them that capability. and i think there are plenty of people who have had comfortable lives that would do the same thing the farmer did. people are affected in different ways.

Someone needs to find a picture of a house burning a pile of rubbish in the yard, and photochop in this little fireball darting towards the house, with a "pwn3d".

 

[OutHouse]

Bwahhaha, dude throws mouse in a fire, mouse runs away while on fire into dudes house. i could see the old geezers face as he watched this transpire and think to himself. "oh f*ck"

 

[Amused]

Most mouse traps/poisons are just as cruel. Especially the glue traps. Spring traps that catch anything but the neck are equally as cruel.

Poisons result in a slow, VERY painful death. Strychnine is not a fun way to die.

10 to 20 minutes after exposure, every muscle in the body will start to simultaneously contract, starting with the head and neck. The spasms then spread to every muscle in the body, with nearly continuous convulsions. They get worse at the slightest stimulus. They progress, increasing in intensity and frequency until the backbone arches continually. Death comes from asphyxiation caused by paralysis of the brain's breathing apparatus, or by exhaustion from the convulsions. At that time, the body "freezes," even in the middle of a convulsion. Rigor mortis sets in immediately, with the eyes left wide open.

Death by exhaustion? That sounds aweful, lol

 

[kongs]

hahahah serves him right for throwing him in the fire. I can't believe he would say that in an interview.

 

[dxkj]

Are we all this gullible?

A mouse, a tiny mouse, stayed lit long enough to run into a house and set the.... paper? in it on fire

And then the old guy didnt have enough time to call the fire department before whatever small fire that could have been lit by a mouse before it died was put out?


w t f

 

[imported_Reck]

serves the fvcker right. and yea glue traps are unethical as well btw. only use the snap traps, they ensure a quick painless death.
