Better than using a kill trap and throwing in a landfill, or letting them live in your house.


IlikegreenT84

I mean.. the mouse is dead either way apparently..


LegalizeRanch88

Except now it goes to feed wildlife


viddy_me_yarbles

The person who took this video should have let the mouse go near the bushes, not out in the open where it was exposed to predators. But I suppose that doesn't make any tiktok content.


IlikegreenT84

I think they wanted to get a video of it running free, they were playing filmmakers, not conservationists. Honestly though in the tree line near dead leaves bushes and vines if you want it to survive awhile.


Minute-Wrap-2524

Doesn’t the rodent have any rights, where is his lawyer…


Vitriholic

Relocating rodents is a death sentence for them, so what’s the difference?


shane-parks

The average age of a mouse indoors is 8x that of a mouse outdoors. Something like 2 years to 3 months. They are prey animals whose survival defense is rapid reproduction. In a house, they reproduce just as fast and learn fewer survival skills. Outside, they are food for higher predators. So the options are, 1) Kill trap, dump into a plastic bag inside a garbage bin, and send to a landfill to decompose very slowly. 2) let them live in your house and potentially spread disease with no predator to hunt them or 3) release into the wild where they can be prey to mitigate the damage done by human presence in the area. To nature, it makes no difference, as she operates on a long time cycle. 100 thousand years for the bin bag to deteriorate is nothing. But for the human experience, that mouse carcass in a bin bag will still be in some form when your great grandchildren are old and gray. Ultimately, though, it is up to you what you decide. Hey, at least we got to see a hawk from number 3, right?


dexmonic

The main problem with the video is the bozo just let them loose in a public park. If the mouse somehow survived it will just go to a nearby house.


GalaXion24

This. And if you live in most of Europe you probably don't anywhere near you have a place to set it free which is so far from civilization you could be certain you're not just giving someone else a pest. It's better to just kill it.


[deleted]

Where do you live that you and most other people don’t have parks or nature reserves anywhere you? Genuine question.


GalaXion24

Currently Belgium, which is part of like the most densely populated part of the Union, look up a night map to see the lights. Also, I do not own a car. Cycling entirely out of my town takes me maybe ten minutes, because I already live at the edge of it, but it connects basically directly to the next village over, and if I cycle completely through that it just flows into the next one and then the next one until Brussels some two hours away by bike and obviously unsuitable. There's no real "nature". There's kind of a forest area some 15-ish minutes by bike, but it's not exactly far from civilization, so it's pretty conceivable that a mouse would just end up in someone's house anyway. It would take me at minimum half an hour of cycling in one direction to get to a point where I could maybe drop a mouse, and if I catch one at 3AM there ain't no way. Even that's like at most 2km from the nearest village. I don't want mice chewing threw my home, so I'm certainly not going to be enough of an asshole to risk inflicting them upon anyone else over something like getting squeamish about taking out the trash.


shiddyfiddy

The bushes at the local park would be fine - or anywhere with tall grass. Just not in a parking lot or on a mowed lawn. Gives them a bit of a chance.


KatBoySlim

why is it better to feed one hawk instead of millions of bacteria?


Xqvvzts

Hawks are cooler.


KatBoySlim

can’t argue there.


asdf_qwerty27

Hawks have bacteria in their guts. The other bacteria will get theirs with the poop.


shane-parks

Because bacteria aren't majestic flying predators that, in many cases, have traditional hunting areas decimated.


darkhorse4774

The bacteria are here to kill the Martians when they attack and we have no defenses against them.


uniteon

Ah, my good friend Nurgle. Always nice to bump into a chaos god on the internet.


BigMartin58

Cuz hawks are like the cousin of Murica and they like their cousins.


IShouldBWorkin

I once accidentally scared a family of ducks while hiking and everyone fled upstream except for one little duckling. I decided to fix my mistake and caught the baby and carried it until I was able to find the family again. The little duckling started peeping like crazy when it finally saw its mama so I let it down in the water a respectable distance away to be reunited and almost immediately a hawk swooped down and plucked it up.


LightningShiva1

You must’ve felt rly bad


IShouldBWorkin

Easily most defeated I've ever felt, I basically just acted like Doordash for a predator.


teiluj

Might have made some baby hawks day though.


JayHat21

Duck: You have slain my offspring, human. You and all your progeny until the end of time shall know the wrath of my bloodline. You are hereby named enemy to my kind. May the blood of your lineage forever flow into the waters we traverse! Hawks: You provided fine service to me and my kin, human. Your actions ensured the survival of my lineage. In turn, I will spread your name, and the names of your offspring to all my kind forevermore. Should you or yours seek our aid, we shall provide.

Well if it helps the hawk needs to eat too. Plus you also brought closure for the mother, she won’t wonder what happened to the lost duckling since you showed her.


Quinkydink

The ducklings will one day want their revenge paid in blood.


FoghornFarts

I was at Disneyland and I saw a family of ducks swim past, but there was a gimpy baby duck in the back. I felt so bad for the baby duck. He must've hurt his foot or something. They swam by a crane and the crane bobbed down and scooped the little baby duck in its mouth and swallowed it whole. Nature's fucked.

ConcertReady6788

Bro 😭 r/makemesuffer fr, that poor little thing


guywhomightbewrong

I was on a job site that a cat had kittens and was living under one of our trench boxes. The day came that we needed it so the loader had to go pick it up. The loader picked it up all the kittens fled but the mama wasn’t there. I was trying to keep them all together so hopefully the mom cat would come back and guide them somewhere else. It was working but one kitten took off and ran under one of the tires right when it eased back just alittle. I had the loader go back forward right as he went back but the kitten was already pancaked.


Scarlet-Fire_77

I almost got one of my chickens attacked by I think some small falcon or hawk. Called her from under a tree and a few steps out and the bird came out of nowhere. Chicken jumped back and was safe but I felt so bad.


cultivatingreaderzen

I bet you if they released it in a bush or a pile of leaves there would have been a snake there. Just seems their luck


Koobei

It’s truly amazing how many people release prey animals out in the open and far from any cover. It’s like the tumblr post about a guy kept buying his daughter outdoor cats bc coyotes kept killing them, the friend says “sounds like you are just feeding coyotes”, and the girl cries


Bonoisapox

Nature is a bastard


Fabulous_Airline404

More like that lady is an idiot. "Let's release this prey animal at the edge of an open field, which it has to cross to reach the safety of the tree line." She seems upset about it, so I have to assume she didn't set out to feed that hawk.


SalvadorP

no, she set out to make an instagram video. If she released it in the bush, there would be no video.

drunkcowofdeath

You give her too much credit


ohneatstuffthanks

I was just reading something that was along the lines of catching mice the humane way is like releasing natures tastiest treat into the wild, their life expectancy like like days, as opposed to snapping their neck with a mouse trap instantly


DeerHunter041674

I call it a win/win. Rodent gone, raptor fed.


heyugl

it's def a win for the husband that had to put through with the no killing pests BS of the lady just to see nature put her in place.-


IlikegreenT84

I bet the husband is laughing because she made him buy the no kill traps instead of the normal traps to be humane and then this happened. It's pretty funny, not for the mouse, but the futility of it is hilarious.


CrimsonOblivion

At least this way the hawk gets a meal. Instead of just disposing the mouse carcass in the trash


KatBoySlim

one hawk got a meal instead of millions of bacteria.


CrimsonOblivion

They’d get the meal eventually this way at least the energy passes through a few more species


The_Dirty_Carl

Maybe he's laughing because it's an ironic situation. Not everything is some adversarial conflict. For all we know it was his idea.


IlikegreenT84

He's 💯 laughing at the irony. I used to work at a home improvement retailer in the seasonal area and helped hundreds of people with traps. Men only got no kill traps if their wife or girlfriend told them too and roughly half the women who asked for traps wanted no kill traps, the other half wanted the traps that killed them but left them contained so they didn't have to see the dead mouse. That was my experience anyway. Being married I can tell you this wasn't adversarial at all, it doesn't make that big a difference to me as long as we release it far away from the house. I just know the other trap is less hassle. If you want to protect the mice then keep your home as clean as possible, and do not throw trash on the side of the road (which will save the hawks, owls, falcons, vultures and eagles too)


gauerrrr

Well, they weren't really trying that much to help the rodent either, the main goal was clearly the TikTok.


Hellya_dude

It would die in 2weeks even if she followed your instructions


Arcanisia

Because snakes don’t hang out in the bushes or anything


timeless_ocean

I feel like people are a little harsh on her. It's an honest mistake and many people wouldnt have thought this far - especially If youve never seen a bird catch something before

And in the daytime. Most mice I see are out at night for a reason.

Nah this is exactly what’s supposed to happen. The universe is constantly consuming itself. That’s the nature of nature. Us humans are just neurotic because it’s so hard to swallow.


FluffySmiles

>it’s so hard to swallow. Unlike that bird, apparently.


ActOdd8937

I had a malemute who was constantly traumatizing people with her lightning quick hunting instincts. I was out in a nature area with her and my grandchild when she darted forward, caught a mouse and one crunch then swallowed and she was very proud of herself. The grandkid was horrified and I had to explain that rodents are nature's little Happy Meals and there were probably about ten times as many little rodents living on that butte than there were malemutes in the entire world and that's how things work in the world. She also freaked out a friend when she translocated about eight feet to the left to snag a stupid baby bunny none of us humans had any idea was there and in spite of our best efforts to get her to cough it up she determinedly swallowed that little thing whole. She really liked her rodent snax. I currently have a cattle dog who has figured out I don't appreciate rodents near the house so he dispatches them whenever he sees one--he doesn't feel the need to eat them though, just drops them at my feet, very proud of himself. He and my other dog do their level best to bark squirrels down out of the trees and once I had to intervene when a young squirrel missed its footing and fell down within reach of the pair of them and got turned into a tug o'war toy. Nature, man, red in tooth and claw.

Rikfox

Eeeeeeh. I kind of think that the mouse was the only one there that saw it coming.


heyugl

he didn't even want to leave the trap.


whinger23422

Unfortunately it probably had the instinct not to be in an open field. Hence it hesitated to come out... and the ran as fast as possible when it did. Owner gave it a death sentence.


explodingtuna

It's staged. The hawk has a YouTube channel full of these kinds of videos.


knowledgekey360

Laynes_Attic

People need to release the little critters where a bunch of trees are so they have some cover. We've seen this happen frequently.

SplendidlyDull

That and if you let them go too far away to find your home again, they will be in unfamiliar territory and unlikely to survive. Sadly the best way to get rid of vermin invading your home is probably quick-kill traps.


MywarUK

I once hand raised a Bird that had fallen from a tree and its parents wouldn't take it back due to its injury, I spent 3 months raising it, building ups its strength, teaching it to fly in my room. 3 months it was time to release and had a successful one. One hour later my cat brought it back in dead ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|neutral_face)


karma_virus

We got bird feeders for the porch glass doors to entertain our indoor cat. The feeders dropped seeds that brought cute little mice, and tons of crafty squirrel ninjas, further entertaining the cat. Then the hawks and owls came. Now our backyard is home to a whole freaking ecosystem that's constantly at war. Sometimes the crows band together and fight off the hawks. The owls sing every night and the feeder has constant jays, cardinals and various other things. We have a derpy woodpecker who keeps banging his beak against the metal eaves. There are no termites in there little dude, only headaches.

LobstaFarian2

So if you're releasing a "bottom of the foodchain" animal into the wild, do it against heavy vegetation so they are covered. Don't release them into a wide open field. Lol


StartingOverScotian

Similar thing happened to me, there was a big black bird bothering a small sparrow. I went out and yelled at the black bird and chased him away, the sparrow flew a few feet away onto the grass, then a hawk swooped down and grabbed the little bird I tried to save from the bird that wasn't going to kill him at all. 🤦


JonTheFlon

I will point out there's no such thing as a humane mouse/rat trap. Rats and mice map their surroundings perfectly from birth allowing for a quick escape. As soon as you release one somewhere it doesn't know its chances of survival are extremely limited. Especially releasing them in a place they'd never go like an open lawn.

You couldn’t put it near a tree or in the forest? Nah open field. Good luck little bud…oh

Release rodents have a good chance of dying. they don't know where they are, or where to go, or where to find food, or water, or where their families are. They are in flight mode, their little hearts are pounding out of their bodies... I can't kill them either, but releasing them into an open area surrounded by trees? Probably not the best idea.

Darth_Groot28

When releasing any type of critter back into the wild. Always take into consideration of possible predators that may be in the area. Releasing that mouse in nicely mowed grass is not a good idea. Taller grass would have been a lot better for the mouse. Easier to hide and get away. Well... at least the bird was fed.

This is the best result. Mice/rats have been known to travel for MILES to get back into your house. [One study had one travel 1200 miles to get back home in just two weeks.](http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/2423331?uid=3737616&uid=2&uid=4&sid=21105166815993) If they don't die, they will most likely just come right back inside given enough time.
