Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Why in the world would you condone torturing an animal to death is beyond me. You think it's funny that poor rat died and suffered in pain for your enjoyment. This really sickens me and I will not be apart of a group that condones this. This group is suppose to be about natural living not about cruelty to wildlife. Humane live traps are the only safe way, but people are obviously too lazy to use them or just don't care.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Being a new member of this group certainly is intriguing- I value the difference in opinions, and I think we all should. We all are entitled to our own beliefs... As for animal torture, well, I do not condone it, but I do not condone living with rats in my house either. They are disease carriers, and I do not like them if they are in MY HOUSE!!! Lori V.> > Why in the world would you condone torturing an animal to death is > beyond me.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I have to wonder how do you suggest we keep rats/mice, spiders, cockroaches etc out of our homes~ I keep ants at bay with Bay leaves~ I use all natural whenever possible I assure you~ but I'd love to know another sure fire way to keep the rats/ mice out~ You also have to realize now~ we're in an industrialize area~ these rats are the size of possum~ ( you do know how large a possum gets right?) so what would be your suggestion? We had one family we wouldn't even let their furniture in the warehouse~ when the driver opened the door~ the roaches ran like crazy, they were dropping off the truck there was so many~ if we had let him in and tried to control them humanely~ OMGoodness, everyones furniture would have been contaminated~ I would love to hear your suggestions for control, trust me if there's a better way I'm all for it~especially for the roaches~ and trust me ~ I don't ENJOY seeing anything die~ my son is dying from Cancer~but If I could kill the cancer cells I would~I think maybe you didn't think before you posted your remarks~ again, I'm so sorry if I offended you sindy Natural spider repellant (Sindy) > Why in the world would you condone torturing an animal to death is > beyond me.
