I had a rat once, who could grab the food and be out before the trap
shut. I finally caught her by making sure the food stuck to the little
platform. I may have used a tortilla, slit to go around the back edge, and
possibly peanut (Arachis L.) butter.

I have no problem killing mice, rats, and most insects in my home.

But I don't see any reason to rub that in Victoria's face. She has her
way of life, and I have never seen her try to force it on anyone
else.

As to "Iraq and other interventions" of course the issue pales by
comparison. But it's a false dilemma. There's no reason we cannot
refrain from killing here just because we're killing there.
