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?

Unethical..lol.

So I suppose my cat basically playing with a mouse for hours...tossing it around and such before killing it is cruel too?

So instead of putting the fire out before it gets out of control, he does what exactly?

That story is pretty funny! Sucks for the mouse though, but at least he provided some amusement. As for humanely killing the mouse... I could care less if the guy snapped its neck or tortured it for 5 weeks before letting it die slowly in its own waste. He only tried to dispose of it in a way that was convenient at the time, and it happened to be a fire. In the end the mouse is dead, its not like he's going to remember the pain of being burnt to a crisp. Personally I don't care if he suffers because I don't consider a mouse significant enough to warrant my concern. It all boils down to where we each draw the line. For me, the mouse is on the unfortunate side of that line. As I said... sucks for the mouse.

reminds me of Al Bundy blowing up half the house to try to kill the rabbit.

well, yea. lol. but we expect humans to have a higher moral capacity than other animals.
