oh god!

I wouldn't feel too bad. While it sucks to take the life of an animal, rats are an overpopulated nuisance, carry bad diseases, and can do MAJOR damage to your house. Rat killer.

At least rats don't all look pretty much exactly the same so you know FOR SURE you got the bad guy and not his retarded ass tween cousin.

My takeaway from this: killing a rat is cheaper than therapy.

I had a similar experience with a mouse and a broom. My cat brought it in to the house alive. I had to corral the poor creature and thrash it. Then I felt bad for a couple days. It hadn't even wanted to be there.

Dear Brave Vegan Rat Killer,

You had no choice.

God will forgive you. She's vegan too.

I've always wanted to try something like this but incorporate some Rube Goldberg action in the trap-

Bonus- After reveling in the satisfaction of catching the rat or mouse in my elaborate trap I would take the little fella to the home or business of someone who has wronged me. (Just kidding...sort of...but not really)

What would Kevin Sampsell have done?

IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO HUNTING, YOU HAVE TO EAT WHAT YOU KILL. OTHERWISE YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN TED NUGENT.

Catch and release is a lot easier and guilt-free.
10
Scrappers. "Catch and release" traps are well-intentioned, but where are you going to release them? The sidewalk? By the corner store parking lot? If you let them out in the yard, they're just coming right back in.
11
FUCK THOSE RATS UP.

Nothing like having a rat die inside your walls and rotting in the summer heat, and the subsequent giant corpse fly infestation.
12
If an entire house and yard has a serious rat infestation, then call a damn exterminator. Killing one rat (or 10 or 100) is symbolic only and will accomplish exactly nothing.
13
For rats or mice, if you put out traps it's a good idea to also have a container of water large enough to drop them into when the traps don't kill quickly.

THE MORE YOU (WISH YOU DIDN'T) KNOW
14
And then you can put that container of water and rodent on the stove for dinner. If that's not green/sustainable, I don't know what is.

A story similar to yours:

God help us all.

Thank you for not making us a crush video.

They are thousands more from where that one came from. You need to figure out how they are getting in.
19
Get a cat.
If you don't like cats, you'll be suprised how quickly a box of rodent poison stops the sounds in the wall and the roof, and since you don't have cats there's no worry they'll eat a poisoned rodent.

Smooth or chunky, Sarah?
