Tonight I gave a medium sized rat to my BP that my dad had put into a pillow case and slammed into a wall, and my GF went nuts saying that its inhumane. I gave her the other option of putting it into the freezer and letting it freeze to death and she didn't like that either. She thinks that I should let nature take its course, but I'm not about to let Spike fight a rat that could blind him or even worse kill him. I already had an episode of him getting a bad grab on a large mouse and it turning and biting him on the neck, scarring him permanately. Any suggestions would help.
