I certainly don't delight in the killing, but I'm not going to cry about it. Hantavirus is a VERY BIG problem, and it's carried by these local mice. I have three kids, one of them a newborn. I do *NOT* want these disease-carriers anywhere near my kids, thanks.

Gee, and you wonder why I'm cautious? THere was a hantavirus outbreak in Alberta about a decade ago, and I knew several people who got very very ill from it. My kids don't need to get sick because I had a bleeding heart towards mice
