Urgen help..I have trapped a live rat under a bucket, what shall I do now??

[Blu]

I have called the council...nrecorded message. DP is yelling impractical instructions at me (ME^!) as to how I should kill it, and it's right outside the rabbits door so I can't get in to feedthem. It's under an upturnd bucket which is weighted down by rocks.

What shall do??

lol cocole

and all the rest

i have a rat under my shed, runs out for my bird food. i chuck stones at it and keep letting my terrier out but she just ambles over, has a sniff and eats the bird bread herself

lol at tea set murder weapons.

LOL at libra

Libra your post made me pmsl!

DP caught a mouse that the cat had brought in alive. He put a tupperware container over it, then lacking a lid, slid his hand underneath and turned it over.

We were then treated to the sight of DP running round the lounge screaming as the mouse dangled from his fingers by its teeth. (Friend and I were standing on the sofa screaming too, in best stereotypical women mode)

Eventually the mouse got bored of the game, let go and ran out of the house.

Ten minutes later the cat brought it back in again.

have just read whole thread and I feel slightly, erm, switchy. Keep seeing things out of the corner of my eyes...

a dirty lambeth pigeon got into our bedroom. dh killed it but made me swear i would never say how.

If you're in Lambeth just leave your mobile phone next to it and somebody will be along to stab it shortly

EEW Libra's story reminds me of a friend who came into the sitting room to find her ten month old sucking happily on a small soft toy, only to find it was half a mouse!

Dp once picked up a mouse's head, brought in by our cat, it was tiny. He's very tall, 6'4 - I'll never forget the site of him straightening up and squinting at this tiny thing wondering what it was, then realising he was looking into the dead eyeballs of decapitated mouse and doing a classic scooby doo shriek and leaping into the air.

Oh dear, have just read the whole thread and am pmsl

My dad used to have a stables and one morning there was a power cut, the girl groom was in the feed shed with a torch and put the scoop in the bran box and came out with a rat in the scoop,,, cue one dropped and broken torch and one screaming groom

LOL at Libra.

Tyaca -I think you are just round the corner from me - had I known about your DH's secret asassination methods for Lambeth Vermin I could have got him straight round!
And I would not have revealed his grisly secret
Oh go on...tell us!!

I feel v guilty now. I had an ailing goldfish, and my Mum put it down the waste disposal unit in the sink to give it a quick end...without trying the gentle poaching trick. Premature euthanasia. Now we know why it remains against the law.

Blu am very envious at your speedy response I'm still waiting for response to my 2 rat complaints from earlier this year.
I innocently strolled past one wandering down our hall and surprised myself by blocking it into a radiator cover, dh removed it and put it in a bucket where it promptly died a couple of hours later.
Wr reckn it had been poisoned and come in to die in the warm (Feb).
There are big problems wiht them along the Streatham Hill train line at the moment apparently (probably are every year just this year someone has bothered to tell me
Anyway glad it's gone (I've only just stopped looking over my shoulder for 'our' rats family and friends!)

this is v.funny

califrau have you seen my facebook status?

fantastic thread

ROFL at this thread! and Mag7's phone trick

slubber - I am stunned and your serial animal killing

Are you just a really bad driver???????

and gas?????

Genius thread - have been avoiding it all day as didn't think rat under bucket could be anything I wanted to read about - how wrong could I be!

I have been honking with laughter

Er, now, Hugo...I believe I may have missed the all-important thread about Hugo...anyway I am sure that my rat was IS not Hugo, for a starthe she was squeaking 'my name is Rolanda'..and just looking very un-Hugo-ish...anyway he she was last seen with the nice man from the Lambeth Vermin Hospitality Service and will be very well looked after, I'm sure..

So, are you all in Streatham? I'm in Streatham Hill. Are all these rats commuting in from Surrey to Streatham Hill station, do you think?

After establishing my stupid DH had kicked a hedgehog, "back over the fence", we went back downstairs to check. The hedgehog was still in the garden, climbing over some laders. OMG, they are so loud. It sound like a herd of wildebeast roaming the plains.

So not only is my DH a stupid fecker who can't tell the difference between a hedgehog and a football, he can't kick either.

VVV, I really really want to make it clear that I am an animal lover, and in most of these cases I was being kind.

re squirrels and gas.

I was walking to school and came across one that had been hit by a car, but was not dead. Now I could have stamped on its head, but I was only 16 and had my nice new school shoes on. So I scooped it up in my blazer and took it to my Biology teacher and we gassed it wilth the stuff they use for putting the disection rats to sleep.

It fell asleep and never woke up, and that I think is a nice end.

And no I am not a bad driver. I am a steady driver. It is fuck wit animals that keep on running under me.

My friends very expensive fish were killed by her young neighbour. He wanted to see them "go faster" so he stirred them with a wooden spoon.
