[Foolish1]

There goes everything meaningful I typed skipped and straight to personal attack . let's stay on topic shall we?

Let me know if you want me to start a new thread about me that way we can stay on topic in both spots.

Hello kettle.

Oh I am sorry

So YOU mention me in your very first post (not the opposite way around), insinuate that you got in trouble with me because we disagreed but I make it personal??? I am just answering your post, you seriously do not think that I am just gonna be silent while you are mentioning me and accusing me of being bias do you?

Anyway have fun with your conspiracy theory and people out to get you

Well, getting back to the OP's ?

One easy humane way to kill a rat with an easy DIY style would be to use CO, Carbon Monoxide.

Hook a hose up to your tailpipe of your car with the engine running, and have the other end of the hose going into s closed box holding the rat, which will slowly put him to sleep.
Of course, do this outside.

Well to the OP, who I am sure got scared off again, I think the whole bag and counter thing is wrong. Try and do what I said. Or if you want to be all sciencey look up how to properly snap their necks. When it comes time to butchering here on the farm chicken necks snap quick. They have more muscle and meat to them. Grab some leather gloves and figure it out in guess. Don't feel bad for the animal. Known it is serving it's purpose in life by feeding your snake. I love my turkeys to death. But Thanksgiving morning they have fulfilled their life goal and fed my whole family and friends. That's beautiful.

I said super moderator Deb. I never wanted to mention you until you jumped in. I hate when discussion turns personal. Nobody gains anything. No knowledge is spread. Information doesn't get advanced. I apologize to the community for any off topic things I posted. I am very passionate about the truth.

Foolish1, you have give great information and insight. However, to me, an outsider looking in; you launched the first attack, and out of nowhere man.

You're missing the part about killing your snake from the other toxins in exhaust fumes. Mmm... Smog...

[Foolish1]

Fair enough. Last thread my views were dismissed. I wanted to mention that before I typed. I didn't say names from the start. I said titles. I didn't mention the manager that screwed me for hours. I just brought it up that it happened i guess. Damn fire sign I am. I burn with rage but can be instantly extinguished. I do apologize for my off topic posts and if I did start the first round of punches THIS fight. But it's the whole battle and war type thing.

To the op. They have very small necks with no muscles and fragile bones. It's easy to do. Quick and painless..

Oh I forgot, those 300 parts per million!

The same ones I have been breathing for over 50 years.

Eric i wanted to mention that earlier. I was going to compare a human intentionally hurting themselves by breathing in car vapor. But that I realized is apples and oranges. Cars burn so many other chemicals and elements. Agreed about the smog and everything else. But yeah. People who go the car route, it's not a pretty scene. I guess I have a lot of first hand experience in many aspects of life. I've been around the beauty of life and death for so long I have a different view of it. Grass when it's cut release a smell that warns other grass is dying. When it decomposes micro life feeds off its cellulose and nitrogen then the cycle continues. Life and death. Beauty.
