Is it easy to break their necks? I had one coming in through the garage to my kitchen and living room for a while, wanted to be a cheapass so I used a leftover gluetrap from an old bug issue I had and put some cheese on it and caught him. Felt bad after seeing him either trying to knaw himself off or maybe the trap was corrosive idk shit got really red so I googled how to mercy kill them and it said "blunt trauma to the head" so I got a hammer from my basement workshop and hit him on the head. He made a squeak I can still hear in my head and one of his eyes looked like it was almost gonna pop out of the socket, threw his body and the trap in a plastic bag and tossed it out. If neck snapping's not that hard I think I'll do that next time idk if there's a trick to that I was also grossed out by the germs and the idea of touching him with my hand
>killing a living creature isn't pleasant I had these big rats because my landlord left out $200 worth of costco food. Long story.
Anyway, once they got caught on the glue trap I'd give them a bonk with the ball peen hammer and they'd die instantly. Until the day I missed. I caught one in the ribcage and he let out a fucking shriek so loud I had to cover my ears and I just started smashing him until he stopped that awful noise.
From that day on I just fill a bucket with water and toss the trap+rat in there with a board on top. Soggy rats are gross, but fewer nightmares about things screaming in agony.

>From that day on I just fill a bucket with water and toss the trap+rat in there with a board on top. What the fuck. That's barbaric. Much worse than missing with the hammer. Why didn't you just invest in a live catch and release trap??
if my cat doesn't want it I just stomp it like my father did and my grandfather before

You can tell this boards infested with girls now because of the frequency of posts expressing empathy for diseased vermin.

This. Rationality is greater than emotion. Ive killed animals before, had similar experiences once or twice and had no 'haunting' experience. God gave man dominion over all other creatures on the earth- and its not just a moral law but a simple fact. All these animals rights movements are, contrary to popular belief, the opposite of morally good, it makes people pathetic. If you adopt this worldview you will have zero problems in future.

If the traps dont kill em, yes

Seems like a lot of work to actually break their necks, just stomp on em a couple times or tap it in the head with a hammer
>he let out a fucking shriek so loud I had to cover my ears a few rats were stuck in my garbage bin outside, and i wanted to get rid of them i poured boiling hot water on them, thinking they'd die instantly (stupid idea) they ended up letting out the most horrifying shrieking noises i've ever heard i ran back into the house, grabbed by gun, and ended up shooting them as they were lying there, squeaking and twitching it was horrible, it happened years ago and i still feel bad for them i should have just left them alone
