3. Putting them outside to starve isn't all that humane, either

as I found out when I researched the trapping methods. Putting them outdoors in a random spot means putting them away from food sources as well as related mice who might share. Also, I live in the inner city and donating a mouse with potentially lethal diseases to somebody else's house wasn't an option.

Mice are cute little things, that's the main problem and why people hate to dispatch them to their happy hunting ground.

The zap of electricity seemed like the best way to go for me.
