I agree; I myself had trouble with it when starting out. I was just slamming them on the floor.. it has too much "give" and thus a flat rock or concrete floor needs to be used. 100% of the time when I do it, they die right away.

Do you hold them while you do it or just put em in a bag and whack?

Re: Free Mouse NJ
Bag and whack; have to get them neck-headfirst though. Some people never get the knack of it though; I won;t let my fiancee put them down because he can't get it right; there can be no hesitation or it is just worse for the rat.
I don't like killing things; I hurt along with any animal I see suffering. I hate to see hack-job hunters, for example, shooting a deer six times before it goes down.. I am a big fan of one-shot kills. I know too that it is a necessity though.. but honestly I don't find myself killing rats that often. I feed supervised live; only time I put down/freeze is when I have a large surplus, but this has been pretty rare now that I have more snakes..

Hmm... mouse, human, whale. They're all advanced organisms, what makes one more significant than another? Remember, we used to be prey at one time, too.
