No idea why people buy these. Humane traps are inexpensive, reusable, and effective.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Glue traps fail as a long-term solution because they neglect to address the source of the problem: As long as food remains accessible, more animals will move in to take the place of those who have been killed.

As with any trap.

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Sure, but there are only so many mice in an area and only so many of those that find their way into an undesirable location. You can make better arguments against glue traps than "killing vermin doesn't make them go away forever"

I have a terrier with a history of mouse murder, but he's not doing jack against the mice in our creepy attic with exposed fiberglass.

why would anyone listen to PETA? they are eco-terrorists

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You say eco-terrorists like they’re a company dumping industrial waste.

Why Everyone Hates PETA (It's Astroturfing)

Your claim about them doesn't discredit their argument.

Citation needed.

Eco-terrorism is a term invented by Ron Arnold, Executive Vice-President of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise. If that's not a conflict of interest, I don't know what is.

Still applies to what they do. Wanna protest with signs in front of an office or whatever go ahead. Wanna break into a work site and disable equipment you don't own, yeah I don't fly with that.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca -5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Peta missing the point again.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

That's your take eh?
