To civilians who may have been puzzled by the wildlife crowd’s tossed-off references to peefas, modos or mice cubes, here is a beginner’s guide to Rehabberspeak. Raptor rehabbers feed our patients mostly thawed mice which, when frozen, are called either “mice cubes” or “mousesicles.”

Mice/rats in your house or business? When queried, he admitted he had recently hired a local company to get rid of the mice in his house. When queried, he admitted he had recently hired a local company to get rid of the mice in his house. A poisoned rodent can kill whatever eats it, and death by poison is a very bad way to go.

Rather more are killed in collisions with cars. Rabbit : not as common in England as they used to be Over the years I’ve encountered a rich variety of smaller mammals, too, ranging from Alpine Marmots to European Sousliks, Moles to Hedgehogs, plus an assortment of mice and voles.

We started feeding mice, mealworms, and even some wild bird mix and leftovers, as they are scavengers. We released live mice into the flight so they could learn to catch and kill live prey. They did very well, even enticing the resident ravens to fly down for visits. In the evening, they roost in the pines near my house.

Additionally, Cathartes vultures are unable to grab, kill, and carry a prey item with their feed. What is unusual here is that these vultures may be sniffing for large invertebrates as their feet are no help when it comes to grab and kill a small mammal. Their feed are more like that of a Wood Stork. This is pure speculation.

Sentient people recoil at the idea of leg-hold traps, those medieval–torture devices which cause so much pain and suffering before their victims eventually die, are killed, or (very occasionally) are rescued. The homeowners were trying to catch mice. Here’s why. It worked, then naturally the roadrunner went after the mouse.

Nonnative species have huge impacts on wildlife species everywhere… mice kill seabird chicks in their burrows, rats eat endangered bird eggs, overpopulated deer clear the understory of forests, pigs root out native plants and terrestrial animals, cats kill anything they can get their paws on.

Solid food would have killed him, as he’d have used up the last of his fading energy trying to digest it. Meanwhile, he slowly graduated from liquids to defrosted mice: first just organ meat, then skinned and deboned, then just skinned, then the whole mouse. “Oh, THEN we’ll kick him out. I forgot I had a squirrel in here!”

Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources. As anyone who follows this blog knows, outdoor cats are a veritable holocaust for wild birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and even insects.

As it is critically endangered (there are only about 100 left), I think it can be forgiven for killing the occasional Pale Thrush (which is listed as Least Concern). Unfortunately, Hen Harriers die disproportionally near British Grouse moors – most likely killed illegally by people hunting grouse for sports ( source ).

Inserts in rodent poisons that assure the public they will not kill anything but the offending rats or mice pedal the same questionable claims as those of the snake oil salesmen of bygone days. We use toxins, pesticides, and herbicides in many ways, from dusting our pansies to increasing the yield of thousands of acres of crops.

And New Zealand has a fairly aggressive programme of conservation measures in place to protect native wildlife by killing native species, again something I have defended on th is site. It’s undermined his own laudable efforts to clear the Antipodes of mice.

I have a dog, cats (domestic and feral), birds raccoons, hawks, owls, coyotes, foxes, bunnies and mice…they all share the yard and the woods. They did not ask to be put where they are nor should they be treated like a plague. There times when nature takes its course, but honestly it is the true cycle of life in nature.

New Zealand has been the recipient of a higher than average number of introduced species, in particular a range of mammals from elk to mice. Animal rights groups sued to prevent poison being used to kill the rabbits, and even told a mediator that they would rather every reptile on the island die than a single rabbit be killed.

If they are not adoptable, oh well, kill them. The raptors feed on these things (mice, rats), snakes feed on these things, it’s in the wild food chain and the cat interrupts that because it’s not part of the natural setting.” Quantico Military Base is really behaving cruelly when it comes to the feral cats on its base.

This one addresses the decreasing number of dogs and cats being experimented on and, without mentioning it, discusses speciesism and our affection for dogs--pet dogs particularly (and especially purebreds)--which leads to our revulsion with the idea of snatching, vivisecting and killing them. It does not make them more or less a "tool."

Again, they just want to prevent the "cruel" hunters from killing Bambi's mother. Perhaps Latimer should read some of Responsible Policies for Animals ' literature (like Factsheet #4 , about deer kills and ecosystems). First of all, does he really believe that piffle? What on earth would even give him that idea?
