How to humanely euthanise a mouse??

[Tosieposie]

Dcat has brought in a mouse. Then dropped it and ran.

It's been in a box for an hour but it's back legs or spine is broken.

I can't release it like that :(

Please tell me you got the wrong thread

well done, best outcome for Mr Mouse.

This. Quick, humane and no mess. You could even just push down hard with a ruler. Don't take it to the vet just get it done quickly and put it out of its misery.

I've never seen so any people advocate physically abusing an animal in the hope you might kill it.

Absolutely no one is saying that.

You have to be quick, decisive and effective. It's not abuse, it's ending their pain and distress.

If you can't manage that then of course find someone else who can, take them to the vet if that's the only option.

It really is 😢

I had to use a shovel for this once. I just did it immediately and it ended the poor things suffering in seconds. I was crying my eyes out but I couldn't bear to see it in agony for a minute longer and knew it would never survive

The RSPCA wouldn’t come out when I rang them to report a horse tethered on waste ground without any water, hay or enough length on the rope to lie down, I doubt they’d send anyone round for an injured mouse.
