To catch a mouse

[Silver Gaia]

5. It depends on where you are. I doubt they'd starve here.

The mice I get are field mice anyway. They come from the empty lot across the street every time the owner bushwhacks it. Stuff they can eat grows here year round, especially in the park where I take them. There's a river canal there, too. And there are picnic tables and trash cans. Or they may become a meal for some other animal. There are lots of hawks and owls around here. Their death would at least serve a purpose that way, and that works better for me.

I wasn't trying to say I thought you should do what I do, and I certainly wasn't judging you. I'm sorry if that's what you thought. My intention was just to offer another alternative for others who might read this thread. I totally get that what I do wouldn't work for you in the inner city, but I live on the edge of the city, so this is the better option for me.
